Our God, the Great I Am
The 2008 Youth Ministry Resource Manual, Our God, the Great I Am will help our young people know God as creator, challenger, comforter, and friend.
The sessions are developed so that youth ministry, campus, and catechetical leaders may address the many salient ways we encounter God through Scripture, sacraments, the discernment of gifts, in our family and friends, by serving others, and in the Eucharist.
