Imagine a guy who was the son of an unwed teen mom. Someone who grew up in a part of town that “nobody thought anything good would come from”. Someone who got sentenced to death but was completely innocent. That could be any of a number of teens you know today. Or it could be Jesus.

Another Boy from the Hood is a Bible study coming soon from TastyFaith. This multi-ethnic bible study is due out mid-summer 2007, and is ideal for urban youth and high-risk kids of all backgrounds. Along with covering the life of Jesus, it contains real stories of guys from the streets whose lives have been radically changed by Christ, from the heroin addict to the inmate to the gang-banger. It demonstrates how Christ’s life wasn’t a cakewalk: Jesus dealt with the same issues inner-city teens deal with today.

While this urban Bible study can be used in male and female groups, Another Boy from the Hood is a great mentoring tool to disciple young men in outreach programs, from the incarcerated to the basketball ministry. It can help new believers apply scripture and biblical principles to their lives and situations.

Another Boy from the Hood Bible Studies for Urban Youth is also ideal for Domestic Mission Trip Groups and Student Missions. It can help “bridge the gap” between suburban groups and the teens indigenous to hard-core urban neighborhoods.
