 Discounted 45% for Bookstore Partners
Did you know that today the average household has more video screens than people in them? … We believe that now more than ever people are tuned into the screen. We believe the same is true for the church. A growing number of pastors and volunteer leaders are looking to video driven studies to help them teach their youth groups.
For youth pastors and volunteer leaders, teaching students how to make wise choices is one of the greatest gifts they could ever give them. This year when we set out to create our individual studies for youth ministry, we wanted to focus on the various factors that influence student’s lives every day.
With that in mind, we’ve partnered with speakers David Nasser, Sean McDowell and Marcus Goodloe of Erwin McManus’s Mosaic Church in Los Angeles to create three video-driven Bible studies that hone in on culture, choices, and friends. We interviewed over 20 teenagers from across the country to hear their candid and vulnerable stories and we’re also excited to have exclusive interviews with Flyleaf, Family Force 5, and Sarah Kelly.
The Bookstore Starter Kit includes 2 copies of these three studies to stock the shelves of your store to meet the growing demand for video driven resources that capture the attention of the next generation and communicate Biblical truth.
Several thousand of these Bluefish TV Youth Ministry Studies are being carried nationwide in Lifeway, Family Christian, Mardels and Berean Bookstores. Each of the 6 copies in the Kit retails for $74.99. Because we’ve packaged this together in a kit we’re able to offer you a 45% discount off the retail price.
