Heroes and Sheroes are 10 classic Bible stories made relevant to high risk and urban teens

Do even the Jesus freakiest teens in your urban youth program have gaps in their Bible knowledge? Then check out Heroes and Sheroes. It's the 5th Series in TastyFaith's SLAM! lessons for urban youth ministry and outreach. SLAM! is short-hand for Simple, Life-changing Applicable Messages that can make the hope of Jesus Christ a reality on the streets. These materials are intended for youth 12 and up.

Heroes and Sheroes focus on male and females in the Bible that innercity teens can relate to, whether it's because of the hot situation like TEENAGE MUTANT FURNACE FREAKS, or because of the character traits God is refining in them RICH GIRL DIRT POOR.

There are ten lessons in all, five males, four females, and the final lesson, FROM HERO to ZERO, which focuses on both. All of the Heroe s and Sheroes are from the Old Testament; a NT series is planned for the future)

Heroes and Sheroes was created after TastyFaith talked to several urban youth outreach programs across the country. These inner-city youth directors craved materials that focused on the classic Bible stories that un-churched teens might has missed earlier on.
