Juvenile Justice Ministries
  
   Created in co-operation with motion picture producers and distributors around the world, The 
   HOPE is an 80 minute dramatic presentation of God’s epic story of redemption as revealed
   in the Bible. Can be viewed online or by purchasing the DVD. Excellent evangelism and 
   teaching aid.        http://www.thehopeproject.com/		  
 
  This 702 page book is really three books in one; a text on delinquency, a guide to juvenile 
  evangelism, and a book for parents about drugs, gangs, and sexual activity. The book contains
  several true and dynamic case studies that allow the reader to play the role of judge and guess
  the outcome of cases. This book was strongly endorsed by Charles Colson who said "Don 
  Smarto knows firsthand about ministry to juveniles. This book is a powerful resource!" Used as
  a text book in Juvenile Delinquency classes at major colleges.    http://youthdirect.org/		  

 
  The 265 pages of this book are divided into 51 subject headings as a practical and easy to use
  reference guide. The principles for mentoring can be used for juveniles or young adult offenders.
  It also contains a contact form, a bibliography, and an interesting interview. Mentoring is one of
  the most important ways to help a prisoner become a stable citizen and a true disciple of
  Jesus Christ. Subjects include: fear of failure, boundaries, suicide symptoms, communication,
  culture, materialism, matching people and screening mentors.      http://youthdirect.org/

  
  Using the American Bible Society's Good News Bible, this word-for-word production is
  meticulous in its detail, and exquisitely acted and filmed. The Gospel of John emphasizes
  the divinity of Jesus, and has some of the best loved passages of scripture, and perhaps the
  most well known verse in the New Testament, John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He
  gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have
  everlasting life". The superb cinematography, the authenticity of the costumes and sets, and
  the marvelous acting make this production a must in every Christian film library, and it would
  also make an excellent teaching tool.         http://www.amazon.com
