The book examines the characteristics of faith maturity, the nature of culture, and physical and emotional developmental issues. In addition, chapters give practical help with and specific models for Sunday school, confirmation, fellowship, service and outreach programming, plus teacher recruitment and training, master plans, choosing resources, and ways to reach young adults.
