From the Publisher

Are they the Dirty or the Devout Dozen? Maybe they're both! These 12 Old Testament characters are as capable of both selfless and selfish actions as we are. All the emotions, dilemmas, choices, and challenges we face today, they faced too. Abraham setting his faith in motion. Job grappling with the reality of suffering. Ruth living out her commitment. David standing for the truth at any cost. These character studies reveal the best and the worst of men and women just like us, who showed their love for God in ways that set the pace for junior and senior high students today. But this book is hardly some dusty, musty study. It's full of reproducible materials--games with a purpose; discussion sparkers for small groups; scripts for role plays, spontaneous melodramas and dramatic sketches; references to film clips; and a truckload of creative Bible readings. It's an energizing way for youth leaders to help teens draw the connection between the characters of the Bible and the self-character teens are building today.
