The Bible in 52 Weeks for Teen Boys

“Bixby’s enthusiasm for the Bible comes through: He clearly loves to highlight elements of the Bible that can lead to surprising insights, like miracles, parallels between stories, and connections to contemporary life. He sets the stage for success in this yearlong endeavor by encouraging teens to set up routines that help them fall into a reading rhythm and by giving them permission to skim as needed and not feel pressured to understand everything… . An inviting and ambitious guide that’s especially well-suited for group discussion.” – Kirkus
“The Bible in 52 Weeks for Teen Boys is an excellent resource to help youth begin the practice of dialogue with God through the scriptures. It is both practical and informative. It invites youth to more than knowledge about the Bible, but invites them to find themselves in the stories, as well. As a resource for individuals and communities, it will deepen the spiritual life of God’s people.” – Dr. Brett M. Opalinski, Assistant Dean of Methodist Studies and Assistant Professor in the Practice of Spiritual Formation and Church Leadership, Candler School of Theology, Emory University
“As a parent of a teenage boy and pastor to many others, I know how difficult it is to present Scripture in a way that is relevant to teen lives without trivializing its spiritual depths. Rev. Dr. Bixby accomplishes both in this beautifully crafted Bible study for teens, coming alongside teens as an elder brother and leading them forward in faith as a pastor.” – Rev. Fr. Hovnan Demerjian, Pastor, St. Hagop Armenian Orthodox Church
“Our complex, high-tech, and increasingly virtual world has left so many of us with a deep spiritual void, and our adolescent children are keenly aware of it, even if they struggle to express it. Rev. Dr. Wes Bixby has created a compelling and thoughtful resource that invites teenage boys into a meaningful engagement with Sacred Scripture and our shared faith story. This is a remarkable tool for families and church communities seeking to help our teenage boys discover a path toward a more grounded, peaceful, and faithful way of life.” – The Rev. David Fredrickson, Episcopal priest and co-author of Being Church in a Liminal Time

REV. DR. WES BIXBY is a husband, father, and Senior Minister of First Congregational United Church of Christ.
