About
The Ideas Factory is a priceless resource for anyone working with young people.
It contains 100 adaptable discussion starters: a brief story, usually factual, followed by a series of provocative questions.
The stories explore topics relevant to young people, including relationships, technology, and emotions; an important biblical concept, such as giving, the afterlife, or love; and the main stories and themes of the Bible.
The questions begin with general issues, before moving on to what the Bible has to say. Extra questions are included for use with unchurched young people.
This revised and updated edition has up-to-date examples and references to connect with today's young people.
