Do you ever feel like the Bible is totally disconnected from your life? If you're like us, you feel bad when you have thoughts like this, but still you're not always sure what a book from yesterday has to do with today. Some people say that the Bible is a blueprint or a road map for life, but when you pick it up, it reads more like a collection of stories from long ago instead. If this sounds like you, then you need Old School. In this unique multimedia experience, we'll dive into some stories from the Old Testament and ask some of the questions we face everyday.

This innovative devotion comes on CD-Rom and includes:

• 20 audio devotions that you can listen to on your computer or download to an MP3 player
• 16 written devotions that you can read on your computer or print out
• 1 introductory video. It got over a million hits on YouTube, so it must be good! (high-quality format and iPod compatible)
• Bonus features (3 additional videos, fully animated intro and menus, web links)

So why did we write Vice Versa? To be honest, the reason we have written this study is that no one ever presented these concepts to us in this fashion. Sure,we were told to avoid sin, but we were rarely pushed to embrace a new kind of life -- the life God created us to live, one of freedom, joy, and constant “newness.”Why the title Vice Versa? Because the world is a tough place to follow God, and crossroads that lead either to life as God intends or life that is less than God's best are around every corner. Because often, the way to the best life looks like death at first glance, and the road to death often looks like life at first. Ifwe are left on this journey alone, we will too often travel the wrong road for miles only to discover thatwe are off course or at a dead end. Because too many of us as Christians find ourselves more enslaved to sin than free in Christ, and because the world needs Christians who do more than avoid sin — it needs Christians who discover real life and live it to the full.

What is normal? For many of us, Christianity is comfortable and secure, isolated and based on all the evils we don't do. But what if our norm isn't normal to God? God isn't satisfied for us to settle for "normal" in our lives. He calls us to redefine "normal" as we get to know him better and learn more about his heart. Redefining Normal is an eight-week Bible study that challenges students and young adults to re-examine the norm in both culture and Christianity. Many of us have believed a half-gospel that says Christianity is about what we don't do. The truth is there is much more to following God. God desires us to both celebrate the grace of God and continue to grow in holiness. Through it all, we see God redeeming the world he loves and doing it through us.

Nobody wants brokenness, yet most of us experience it. What are we supposed to do when life crashes down around us? Why does God allow his people to go through seasons of such pain and misery? Could God have a purpose for these times of trial and confusion in our lives? Job would say yes to these questions, and then go one step further and tell us to praise God through the pain. If there is any character in the Bible who knew brokenness, it was Job. But the greatest blessing in his life came in the midst of his suffering. His faith was stretched to limits many of us will probably never experience. But Job learned that in brokenness, we see God. In this eight-week study for students and young adults, we will learn the same.

The phrase “God is…” is loaded, because it's no easy task to describe who God is. It becomes even more difficult when we try to reconcile characteristics of God that seem to be at odds with each other. God Is … is an eight-week devotional designed for students and young adults that examines some of the attributes of God, paradoxes and all, and explores what these attributes can mean in our lives.

Fear. Nothing in today's society seems to drive people like this emotion. But many of us discover that the road fear leads us down is a dead end, full of shallow promises, empty hopes and unrealized dreams. In the middle of our battles with fear, we find that our lives have been turned upside down and inside out without us even knowing. We find ourselves journeying to places we never intended to go or, even worse, not journeying at all. Dismantled is an eight-week Bible study that will help students and young adults begin to walk down the road of following God in spite of their fears.
