| How high can you jump? Guaranteed, the talented teens of Jump5 have got you beat. Singers, dancers, and role models, the members of Jump5 exemplify the very best of their generation. The music of the Nashville-based group is thoroughly modern pop, high-spirited and 100% fun. This group is simply about making people happy, which these days counts for a lot. "We love what we do," says Libby, "but we don’t let it go to our heads and we don’t take it too seriously." Someday they hope to expand their artistic horizons. Writing and producing records, appearing in film and television, nothing seems beyond their eventual reach. Yet if you ask them, the members of Jump5 are less concerned about their own glory, and more focused on the audiences they touch. Says Brandon, “We’re kids trying to help other kids.” |

| Lori Copeland continues her historical romance series, Brides of the West, with book 2, June. As June leaves her Michigan home to become the mail-order bride of a Washington State preacher, readers will learn the important lesson that God is ever faithful, even when we don't understand his plan or purpose in our lives. June delivers a lighthearted, entertaining story along with strong moral values and a Christian worldview. Mail-order bride June Kallahan arrives in Seattle from Michigan to discover that her intended, Eli Messenger, the assistant to a famous evangelist named Isaac Inman, is ill. After he dies, June stays on to work at the local orphanage, where she realizes Inman is allowing the orphans to go without in order to build a showy tabernacle. A romance blooms between June and Parker Sentell, a friend of Eli’s, as they try to convince Inman of the errors of his thinking. |

| A Celtic punk band from the working class south side of Chicago, this band of brothers and a bagpipe player stirred things into a circle pit frenzy with their debut release “Knuckles Up”. After a packed year of non-stop touring and shows with the likes of Flogging Molly, 7 Seconds and The Business, Flatfoot is set to release their spirited follow-up “Jungle of the Midwest Sea”. In what the band describes as a “more mature sound…more grown-up” the band manages to grow up without leaving their roots behind with songs like “Loaded Gun”, “Warriors” and “Hoity Toity”. |

| Rowdy, restless, silly, out of control, moody, vulgar, disrespectful, unpredictable -- this may be the junior high stereotype, writes youth ministry expert Wayne Rice. But early adolescents' enthusiasm, loyalty, energy, candidness, and willingness to learn -- these more than compensate for the well-publicized hazards of working with middle schoolers. In this edition of Junior High Ministry -- updated and expanded to reflect the realities of middle school ministry at the turn of the century -- the cofounder of Youth Specialties takes a comprehensive look at the early adolescent experience: - A case for junior high ministry -- and what it takes to work effectively with junior highers. - New material of turn-of-the-century trends in the youth culture -- and on programming for kids living in this culture. - A chapter each on the five pivotal areas of development -- physical, social, intellectual, psycho-emotional, and faith -- among junior highers. - Altogether new chapters on parental involvement and mentoring in the context of junior high ministry . . . all topped off with 50 creative and practical ideas -- fun and games, Bible study openers, mixers, entire events -- that are tailored for junior highers in Sunday school, the youth room, or your living room. Whether you're training for youth work or a trainer of youth workers, Junior High Ministry will keep finding its dog-eared way to the top of your most used resources. |

| Lutheran Libraries This short book provides an immediate source of help for adolescents as they begin their middle or junior high school years. This manual offers the reader information with a Christian perspective on how to set goals, make decisions, and develop friendships, followed by discussion questions for each of the twelve chapters. Although designed primarily for individual use, pre-teen youth groups would benefit from studying this book before they enter junior high. In the church library, this book would be a valuable resource for parents to consult and/or read with their sons and daughters as they live out their teen years. In addition, the book will help both generations make the most of the relatively short time a teenager spends in junior high or middle school. |
