INTRODUCTION

We are sometimes asked if there are any units which could be substituted in the 100 Hour Curriculum or if we can recommend supplementary materials. Perhaps ministry leaders have already spent a lot of time on anger management, for example, and feel that exploring another area of social interaction, like Peacemaking, would benefit their clients even more. We have compiled two lists of materials (see below) that address these needs. Most of them are available from us. The first list is a compilation of other topics which are formated for small groups consistent with the 100 Hour Curriculum. The second shows useful resource books. Unless otherwise noted, all materials can be ordered from us. [Top] |

CONCERNED PERSONS - Because We Need Each Other [Back][Top]
| This
is a group
for loved-ones of a person held in the grips
of a life-controlling problem. Not
only
does such a person need support from others and knowledge as to how to
cope,
he/she also needs to understand how to be kept from coming into bondage
oneself
when helping the struggling person and making the problem worse. Unintentionally,
the helper may
“enable” the
bad behavior and become “codependent”
himself/herself. 9 Sessions. Price and Order Form |

GODLY PARENTING – Parenting Skills at Each Stage of Growth [Back] [Top]
| Ever
wanted to go to a class that
will teach you every thing
you ever needed to know about raising children the right way at every
stage of
their life? Godly Parenting won’t quite do all that but it
certainly will help
you focus in on the most important things.
Many parents are totally
taken off guard by the changes their
children
go through as they go through their “stages”,
whether it be
“terrible twos” or
young adult. As the
children mature,
parents should expect these changes, and be ready as they approach the
next
stage. This study
covers every
single
stage and is equally important for parents with young or older children. Grandparents
can also benefit by combining
their accumulated wisdom with the understanding of changes throughout
the life
span that this study provides. 13 Sessions. |

RESTORING FAMILIES – Overcoming Abusive Relationships through Christ [Back][Top]
| You
may be in a
dysfunctional family and not even know
it. What is a
dysfunctional
family? What is
emotional abuse, and
why is it so
common yet so unrecognized. Knowledge
gives power and freedom in this area for those who are serious enough
about it
to seek a better way? This
is definitely
a class that all families can benefit from.
The self-assessment itself is
worth the time spent in the course. 10 Sessions. |

SEEING YOURSELF IN GOD’S IMAGE – Overcoming Anorexia and Bulimia (and Overeating) [Back][Top]
|
An idol is something that receives more attention from us that God does. Our health, appearance, reputation can interfere with our obeying the first of the ten commandments – to have “no other gods before me”. As Christians we certainly desire to have our priorities straight so that we may please our God to the greatest degree possible. Besides
doctors,
medication, and therapists, we need
spiritual help and understanding to break the cycles that bind us and
to truly
set us free. The
real things driving us
– our past, our failures, our disappointments –
need to be
understood better
and put into subjection and the covering of God.
Our
“Christ-esteem” needs to be high so that
our “self-esteem” will reflect His image. 13

THE SINGLE CHRISTIAN – Living as one in a world of twos [Back][Top]
| Single
Christians are
an isolated and underserved group in
the Church. They
are a diverse group
with unique problems. Often
they are
forced to face many difficult situations alone, such as in areas of
single
parenting, adjusting to loss, ex-es, poverty, and gaining positive
identity and
purpose in Christ. There also dating and courting issues. Many of them don’t want to be single and need guidance in accepting singleness and in preparing themselves for a life of service and dedication to their Lord. Price and Order Form |

UNDERSTANDING
DEPRESSION – Overcoming Depression through Christ [Back][Top]
| Depression is an area where many seek help but only find much confusion. Medical practitioners may totally ignore spiritual implications or well-meaning Christians may deny the situational or chemical bases which require the intervention of medication or support groups. Then, too, there is the constant folk lore passed off as fact by many who don’t really know what they are talking about. There can be widely different views expressed among counselors, including Christian ones. This course, not a substitute for medicine or professional counseling, focuses on the spiritual dimension of treating depression. It will help anyone to do the overcoming with Christ we need to do as we go through this life. 9 Weeks. Price and Order Form |
