Syler Thomas and Chris Folmsbee, both youth pastors, and I have combined to write a Jesus Creed book for students.
This is a completely new book from anything I’ve written. It has been edited and edited to make it understandable and useful for students.
Today we are making a very special offer.
We are giving away 50 free copies of The Jesus Creed for Students: Loving God, Loving Others.
Here’s what you have to be willing to do:
To qualify for a free copy, you have to be willing to post something about this book on your Facebook page or on your blog. That’s all.
How to get one?
Write immediately to Jesus Creed for Students.
Very excited about this! just posted to my blog and facebook

I just posted it to my Facebook. I’m also a big fan of The Blue Parakeet.

I love youth ministry and free. What a great opportunity! In the spirit of ‘Love Wins’ are we supposed to blog about what we think it is going to say, or do you want us to actually read it first. Because I am willing to do both.

I’d love a copy to look over for use with my students!
I loved the original version and would love to adapt what’s in it to teach my students!

also, I was looking at preview of it on Amazon
apparently this book is filed under catholic youth and catholic authors??? That seemed strange!
Comment by angela — March 22, 2011 @ 10:47 am
Very exciting. I just posted about it on Facebook.

Comment by Justin Wevers — March 22, 2011 @ 11:35 am
Sorry but you need to get a copy and then blog about it. That clear?
Comment by Scot McKnight — March 22, 2011 @ 11:40 am
I so enjoy getting to see resources for youth ministry that get me excited! I posted about this on my blog http://noggingrande.wordpress.com which, through the magic of the internet has been sent out to both Facebook and Twitter!
Comment by Joe Watkins — March 22, 2011 @ 11:42 am
Ha! It’s clear now, I was just so excited for something cool for free. Thanks.
Comment by Joe Watkins — March 22, 2011 @ 11:43 am
I just got my copy of One.Life last night. I can’t wait to get started reading it. I moved it ahead of “Love Wins”, which I also got and “Evolving in Monkey Town”. Scot set a high bar with A Community Called Atonement, I hope One.Life compares well to it.

When is Jesus Creed for students going to be released on book shelves? Anytime soon I hope?
Comment by Aaron — March 22, 2011 @ 11:59 am
Alright it is now on my Facebook page…
Comment by JJ Johnson — March 22, 2011 @ 12:02 pm
Scot,
What do you mean? I have to get the book, read it and then blog about it? What fun is that?
Comment by Kathy Khang — March 22, 2011 @ 12:10 pm
Just posted it on Facebook.
Comment by Jay W — March 22, 2011 @ 12:17 pm
Can’t wait to get a copy of this book, whether it is free or not! But I am a youth pastor so I love free things!
Comment by Josh Hetrick — March 22, 2011 @ 12:17 pm
We’re in the middle of changing how we “do outreach” as a youth ministry, moving from the event-driven/altar-call method to equipping and empowering the students to be the truth and love of Christ everywhere they go. Any resource like this book would be AWESOME to use! Thanks for writing it, and thanks for offering it for free!

Look forward to doing a review of this.
Comment by paul — March 22, 2011 @ 12:52 pm
Look forward to reading this and teaching it to the kids at my Youth Group. I will surely put a review of it on Facebook.

Posted on my FB page. I work with college students, would love to get my hands on this.
Comment by Jaime B — March 22, 2011 @ 4:28 pm
This sounds like a book that has a chance to make new inroads for Christ with a young segment of our population.
Comment by Michael Bedevian — March 22, 2011 @ 6:37 pm
would love to have this for my 14 year old son, he volunteers every sunday with the elementary students and would greatly benefit from it. God bless you guys for doing this.
Comment by kristina recknagel — March 22, 2011 @ 6:51 pm
Jamie, first write to Paraclete — link above — then they’ll send you a copy and then you can post about it.
Comment by Scot McKnight — March 22, 2011 @ 6:52 pm
Posting it tomorrow on my blog. Can’t wait to read it!
Comment by Paul — March 22, 2011 @ 7:07 pm
I just posted on my FB page. I can’t wait to get my hands on this. I have a confirmation class that will eat this up.

I am really, really, really hoping Twitter counts because I tweeted this article on my Twitter profile. Facebook is blocked at this computer. http://twitter.com/woundedmonk
Comment by Chris Burgett — March 23, 2011 @ 8:27 am
Chris, Did you first click through to Paraclete and ask for a book?
Comment by scotmcknight — March 23, 2011 @ 8:29 am
Scot, so if we did click through to Paraclete yesterday, but didn’t hear anything, does that mean we weren’t part of the lucky 50?
Comment by Christine — March 23, 2011 @ 7:33 pm
is it still possible to get that free book? Just posted on my facebook about it. thanks!!
Comment by Josh Pezold — March 30, 2011 @ 11:05 am
Sorry brother, too late. … they’ve given the free copies away.
Comment by scotmcknight — March 30, 2011 @ 11:38 am
I picked up the Jesus Creed for students this morning. Love it.
If there is a re-print, could you possibly consider putting the Hebrew Transliteration in the back with the prayer? I think that it would be meaningful to be able to say it as Jesus may have said it (as close as possible, unless the Aramaic is available), and an added challenge for us ADD prone…!!
