When you're talking to teens, few things leave an impression like an unforgettable story. Whether it's a humorous page from the history books, a mind-bending whodunit, or a fairy tale with a twist, stories cut right to the heart of the matter and the hearts of your youth group. Now you can grab your group's attention with memorable stories that bring biblical concepts to life with Uncommon Stories & Illustrations. In this must-have resource, veteran youth ministry Jim Burns brings together more than 130 engaging tales to illustrate your message and impact the hearts of teens.Each story is arranged by subject and includes key verses and additional Scripture references as starting points for talks and sermons. Whether you spin a yarn for youth meetings, Sunday school classes, retreats, staff meetings, parent nights, camps, lock-ins, or outreach programs, you'll tickle funny bones, provoke thoughtful conversations and open hearts to receive the ultimate Storyteller: Jesus Christ. Includes a CD-ROM with easy-to-print files of every story.
