Scripture Alive
by C. Rosemary Marmouget Are you looking for an engaging, enjoyable and effective way of helping young people form conscience in light of the Scripture? The sixteen Bible based role-plays in this book do just that. The role-plays place young people in relevant and current situations in which attitudes are displayed and choices are made. Both the Scriptures and the interaction with peers challenge and throw new light on those attitudes and choices.
This book is complete with reproducible role-play scenarios, role-play cards, references to related scripture passages, reflection and discussion questions, and closing prayers. A detailed table of contents makes if easy to find themes that fit topics being addressed in youth ministry and religious education settings... themes that relate well with issues in young people's lives.
"Rosemary Marmouget puts Jesus and his message at the center of the participants through lively, interactive drama, bold questioning, and enticing discussion; all ending in a reflective pause in prayer."
Rev. Joseph J. Driscoll, Executive Director, National Assoc of Catholic Chaplains
"This book actually brings the Scriptures to life by applying them to everyday situations with which the participants can identify. The role-playing, combined with the Scriptures and text, typically encourages participants to reflect on their experience and become better acquainted with the Scriptures."
Tammy Burnett, Certified Recreation Therapist
"Involving young people in role-playing allows them to overcome their natural reticence in expressing inner feelings. Lifewise, the comprehensive detail and ease of presentation in Scripture Alive is invaluable for the busy youth leader."
