Jesus didn't beg, persuade, or argue. He spoke the truth, then dared us to live it. Each of the 50 devotional life lessons in this latest Wild Truth Journal sends your middle schoolers straight to the words of Jesus so they can discover the truth. Then it dares them to live that truth today.
The first page of each two-page life lesson is all about the truth; the second, about the dare. The message is simple: it's not enough to know the truth—you've got to take the dare, too! Dares about enemies, worry, humility, giving, the Lord's Supper, and 45 more topics of everlasting concern to early adolescents.

Every encouraging devotion is like a silver platter, serving up the words of Jesus, and then breaking down the Truth into "What Jesus Said" and "What Jesus Meant" sections; and presenting the challenging Dares into "He Was Talking to Me!" and "Take the Dare!" exercises.
