This Handbook is designed for young people on the CY course and is designed to use alongside the CY Leader's Guide. The Handbook features discussion and Bible-study questions, space to make notes and fun cartoons.
CY is a life-changing journey through the Gospel of Mark. In seven interactive sessions, plus a weekend or day away, 11-14 year olds will find out what Christians believe, discover the Bible’s answers to the big questions of life and explore what Christianity is really all about.

This is an excellent resource that you can have confidence in. I looked through it with my couple of younger leaders and we compared it with other resources. There are others out there that look more visually appealing and trendier but if you want confidence in content go for this. It is more intentional with conveying the gospel than the others we looked at. One of my young leaders said ‘we know they will have heard the gospel at the end. We will know what they are saying yes to or rejecting.’ 4 stars only because it needs a bit ...of a visual update on the booklets

Every year in the summer term, we run the CY course with our year 6 kids. I mix the CY material with the Epic Explorers material to get the right balance for these 10 and 11 year olds. I like the CY handbooks because it gives the kids something to take home each week, and therefore the potential to chat with their parents about things they've discussed in the group. It also provides a focus in the group, and makes each child think about their answers.

The structure of the course, the layout of the books and the content itself has worked very well for our group - the 'streetwise' art style doesn't detract but isn't massively attractive and is perhaps a little too try-hard for the youth we have been working with. Still, a reliable, recommended resource.
