UYN Resource Newsletter #11

Dearest UYN friends and family,

Here is the 11^th UYN newsletter!  It’s full of free youth ministry and/or youth ministry-related goodies.  Enjoy!

There’s a new study Bible coming out this October.  It looks to be one of the best and most comprehensive study Bibles ever produced.  It’s called the ESV Study Bible.  You may pre-order one here (scroll down), or visit their website here, or watch a video about it here.

Mark Driscoll has a new book coming out entitled, Death by Love.  You may order it here, watch a video about it here, and read a free chapter from it here.

Oh, and by the way, did anyone hear about Michael Phelps’ diet?  Check out was he reported he usually ate on any given day.

Sermons on being a good father and operating a godly household.

Bible reading plans!  The following are plans or guides for reading through the Bible.  These can be very helpful in helping us and our students to have a consistent daily Bible-reading plan.  Check out the following links.  There are several different Bible reading plans to choose from:
–Bethlehem Baptist Church
-Zondervan offers several reading plans
–NavPress
–Heartlight
–BibleGateway.com
And while I’m at it, here’s another handy write-up about Quiet Time’s.  It’s basically a “how to” article about QT’s.

On a related note, here’s a really good one-page article that we all need to read and have available when our students come to us saying that their spiritual life is dull or dry.  It’s entitled, “Ten Questions to Ask When Your Spiritual Life Is Dull and Dry.”

Here’s an encouraging article about being faithful wherever God has placed you.  It was helpful for me.  Maybe it will be for you as well.

Here’s a really helpful website that Reuben, our friend from Alma, pointed out to me.  It’s called, The Resurgence Greek Project.  The sites creator, Zach Hubert, writes that the site’s purpose is to “assist your study of the Bible in the original languages no matter what your current background in Greek and Hebrew, and that through your study, your knowledge of the Bible and the languages would both grow!”  The site offers a great deal of helpful tools, but can be a bit overwhelming to the new user.  That’s why Zach offers the following tutorial page.  Go and check it out.  And thanks to Reuben for the link.
