We are using this book with our 'Teens' group to take them through the initial basics of the gospel. They are enjoying it although there is a mixed ability of understanding - those who have grown up in the church find some of the ideas simple but as a whole (especially our new/younger teens) they find it really helpful. Would recommend for small group teaching discussion.

We have been looking for some time for a good resource for use in small group 'quiet time' meetings at a Christian activity camp for 11 to 16 year olds. Although this is not quite what CY was designed for our team are very excited by it and think it will work well. Particularly impressed by balance of basic questions that can be answered from the bible text moving on to life applications and issues. The camp is not until August 2007 so we have not yet tried it in the field (literally!).

This is the user guide which accompanies the CY course. It allows the participant to make notes and can therefore be kept as a record of the course and what they have learned/ how they have changed. the layout , pictures and cartoon characters appeal to young people and I particularly like the way it captures the main points of the talk in case the young people have fallen asleep!

The CY course is a great, accesible course both for those who are completely new to Christian things and for those who want to go back over the basics. The questions in the users guide get the young people really thinking and into the passages from Mark's gospel, and there's plenty of space for them to write notes from the talk.

The users guide is also very attractive and youth friendly and is great for them to take away as a reminder of what they've learnt.

CY is a brilliant course for teenagers who are wanting to find out about the claims of Christ. It is very Biblically based and presented in a clear and fun way that is understandable to teenagers without detracting from the wonderful truths it presents.

Some of the games/activities suit a younger teenage group more than an older group, but on the whole it has been fantastic.

We gave the talks ourselves rather than watching the DVD's it was very handy being able to download the outlines from the website - a great resource and hugely recommended
