An all-new youth edition of The Christian Institute’s popular Bible study series, Living Christianity, has been released.
Living Christianity Youth offers “clear, engaging and biblically faithful content to help young believers aged around 11-16 to follow Jesus in every area of life”.
It is adapted from the original flagship series, which has had sales in excess of 10,000 since launching in 2019.
Biblical worldview
The course covers: engaging with today’s world as disciples of Jesus; holding a biblical view of the world and our role in it; living as Christians at home, school and work; valuing God’s good design for all areas of life; and living fruitfully as a Christian citizen in today’s society.

The study materials are accompanied by superb graphics and animation, providing an engaging format for presenting a compelling biblical worldview.
Its strong focus on the Bible provides the foundation for tackling many of the controversies impacting young people today, including politics, gender identity and sexual ethics.
Equipping young Christians
The Christian Institute’s Ciarán Kelly, one of the team behind Living Christianity, said: “However young or old we are, we’re called to be full-time disciples – living the whole of life for God.
“Just like the original series, Living Christianity Youth is about having a biblical worldview for everything we do. There isn’t a separation between our ‘Christian life’ and the rest of our life. Following Christ transforms all aspects of the believer’s life, whether at home, at school or when we’re with our friends.
“There are so many pressures on young people today, especially when it comes to sexual ethics and ‘gender identity’. A Christian understanding of these issues is being marginalised, leaving many young people struggling to provide a biblical response.
“But if we want them to be faithful and effective Christian citizens, if they are to truly love their neighbours, they need to engage with wider society. That includes facing the difficult issues. The prayer of everyone involved with Living Christianity is that, through it, young Christians will be better equipped to follow Jesus in every area of life.”
‘Short, clear, well-illustrated’
Agnes, a children’s and youth worker in Glasgow said: “I am excited to put this excellent resource to use in our youth group.
“Short, clear, well-illustrated videos with printable handouts give everything we need to help our teenagers grapple with how to live out the Lordship of Christ in all of life.”
