Topic: General Bible Knowledge
Background Info: I had a lesson planned to go verse by verse through the book of Romans. However, a throat injury that involved late-night bacon cooking, caused me to lose my voice, so I had to switch to a much shorter lesson. I asked the Youth Group a series of questions about the layout and format of the Bible. There was some side discussion, but that was kept to a minimum. Parents, you are encouraged to quiz the Youth Group on this questions. Answers are provided. :-)
