Understanding the book of Revelation is difficult enough for most adults, so it can be virtually overwhelming for most teens. In God's Gift of Hope, authors Kevin Perrotta and Gerald Darring provide teens with the background information and key points they need to know to properly interpret and understand the book of Revelation, and to find in this book a message of hope and love.
Designed as a guided discovery, Six Weeks with the Bible for Catholic Teens introduces high school students to books of the Bible by integrating the biblical text with insightful questions to help youth discern what Scripture means for their lives today. The series provides students with a clear explanation of Biblical text, opportunities for prayer, and a means to enter into conversation with God.
