These ten lessons teach applicable principles from the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.
Dear Senior Teen,
The ten lessons in this book give the history of One Man's Family. That world resembled ours in that gays came Out of the Closet. You'll learn how this lifestyle had an enormous impact on Lot’s family and the society as a whole.
Is God calling you? Does He call teenagers to repentance and baptism? Abraham was called to offer his only son as a sacrifice. Answer the Call in lesson two will help build your respect for Abraham and your confidence in God.
Abraham had a son named Isaac. Isaac had twin boys. Normally the firstborn receives the birthright which can be a much larger sum of money and real estate than other heirs get. But that wasn't in God's plan. He said The Last Shall Be First and He seemed to have a lot of help from Esau who sold his birthright for a bowl of soup. But that wasn't the end of Esau's financial and earthly demise. He Lost Out Again and the blessing he should have received went to Jacob, his younger brother. Learn the lessons that Esau should have learned and don't be a loser.
There were celebrities who raped girls in Bible times, just as they do today. This Celebrity Rape Case was a prince - a king’s son. But no man would want to receive the consequence that followed him and his men because of this rape case. You need to know what happened.
There were family feuds, favorite kids, and jealousies during Bible times just as today. That's not all bad if you happened to be your dad’s favorite brat. Or is it? If you have 11 brothers, you can be in a lot of trouble. Joseph was Sold into Slavery at 17 by his brothers who hated him. Was he lily white in this? What lessons can you learn that will keep you out of trouble?
Just as today, there was a Determined Woman who wanted her way with men, especially good-looking Joseph. She made no bones about it - she wanted to go to bed with him and wouldn't take no for an answer. Did Joseph give in? What were the consequences? And what were the rewards, if any. Read this lesson and see.
God really liked good-looking Joseph. Every time he got in prison God noticed and had him promoted from Prisoner to Administrator. What were his secrets? Read this lesson and learn as much as you can about what character traits will get you ahead in this world.
Famine has been with us since the beginning of time. Egypt had Seven Hard Years. But they weren't alone. The whole world experienced this famine. Again, Joseph rose to the occasion. Learn what he did to save other nations and his own family.
Joseph had sons as well. These were Sons With a Promise. If you like prophecy, you will want to study this lesson to understand how far reaching this promise was. But don’t just read this lesson, read all of them and read your Daily Devotionals every day. You'll learn so many interesting things and you'll be able to participate in a lively class discussion.
