"If your vision is out of focus, simple tasks like driving, reading, and writing become difficult to do well. Faith is not all that different. In order to follow Jesus and become more like him, it helps if you can see your faith clearly―it helps to have a theology that you live by. Theology is simply the study of God and the Christian faith, and the understanding of how God and faith play out in our everyday lives. In Clear, you’ll walk through the foundations to a Christian theology so that you can better understand God and bring his truths into focus. You’ll learn more • God • Jesus • The Holy Spirit • Humanity • Sin • Salvation • The Church • Heaven At your own pace, you can work through the interactive exercises in this book to grow closer to God and to bring your faith into focus. You’ll have opportunities to study the Bible, pray, put your new knowledge into action, and much more. If any part of your faith seems a little blurry, this book will help you see it more clearly."

I've been using this study guide since February or so with my Teen Bible study at church. I have really enjoyed it and have found it quite educational for myself. I still have a few more lessons to do with the kids, but I decided to finish up the guide during my own personal Bible study time. This is a great resource for those working with teenagers and you want to get beyond fun and games lessons and/or for those that just want to dig a little deeper into theology for personal study.
