Each chapter features seven ministry actions, including “Home discussion guides,” “Newsletter ideas” and “What teens want parents to know,” among others.

— “Brothers, We Are Not Professionals” by John Piper serves as a plea to pastors to abandon the secularization of the pastorate and to return to the primitive call of the Bible for radical ministry. Piper writes as an encourager for those who are frustrated with the increased secularization of the church and the role of pastor, freeing them to pursue the pure call to prayer and holiness.

— “Faith, Form and Time” by Kurt P. Wise shows from solid biblical teachings and scientific confirmation why young universe creation is correct. Beginning with God and his Word as the standard, Wise demonstrates how the biblical witness teaches that the age of the universe is not as old as Darwinian theory would contend. Kurt is the director of the Center for Origins Research and Education (C.O.R.E.) at Bryan College in Dayton, Tenn.
