I serve as the Content and Community Manager for The Network, a role that I truly love. I have a passion for connecting people and am grateful to see how God is at work in the CRC and beyond. I'd love to answer any of your questions and help you get involved!
Thanks for the question and good responses. As this is a public thread, please follow the advice above and let's avoid further discussion of the details of what I'm sure is a sensitive and difficult matter.
Hi Cindy! A book that I've been meaning to check out (I keep hearing great things about it) is Max Lucado's You'll Get Through This. Those who have read this book say it is a great reminder that though life is full of transitions, challenges, and painful struggles, God is WITH us and is working in all things. The book is full of scripture and hope for when life gets overwhelming. It's not necessarily a Bible study book but a great resource nonetheless.
Hi Steve: Great question (and one that can be a real struggle)! One possible option (depending on specific age group) is the Sticky Faith Teen Curriculum, though it is a book and DVD study.
