Bring the Bible to Your Students like Never Before

Communicating the Scriptures is much like building a bridge. However, instead of ravines or rivers, the teacher must span both cultural boundaries and great gulfs of time between the present and the pasts of Moses, David, Jesus, and Paul. Though God’s Word is always relevant, the teacher must help students see Scripture’s vast treasures.

The effective, engaging Bible teacher must, therefore, become creative. Together, Lawrence Richards and Gary Bredfeldt have created the ultimate guide to building bridges for those seeking to learn about God’s Word. Creative Bible Teaching offers a five-step process by which Christian educators can construct a bridge across time, geography, and culture to help students of all ages connect with God’s Word. This newly revised edition makes learning about God’s Word more accessible for both teachers and students today. Simple, clear, and memorable, the method laid out in Creative Bible Teaching provides a sure-fire way of communicating God's Word in a way that sticks.

__Make the Word of God Come to Life—One Lesson at a Time__

  
Scripture is full of complex passages written to ancient cultures vastly different from ours. For such reasons, teaching the Bible to students today can be incredibly difficult. If Bible teachers want to connect with students, capture the heart of each verse, and unleash the transforming power of God's Word, they must get creative.

  
Creative Bible Teaching is the perfect resource for anyone enthusiastic about teaching God's Word. Each section will teach you how to practically:

- Study the Bible
- Focus the message
- Structure the lesson
- Teach the class
- Evaluate the results

  
This updated and revised edition also includes guidance for adapting lesson plans and teaching styles for the digital age of learning. Creative Bible Teaching is essential for every teacher's library and will renew your passion for bringing God's Word to life.
