extreme. It is what young Christians feel during their teenage years. Pulling

Max Q, written by Andy Stanley and Stuart Hall, has been an
encouragement to read! These authors have paved the way to some of
the most relevant and inspiring youth materials that is out! Along with
Seven Checkpoint, Max Q is a must read for any youth leader (volunteer to
full time leader). After picking up Max Q, I couldn't put it down! The reader
will learn about: A Ministry of Influence, Jesus & Influence, Maximum
Dynamic Pressure, Setting Standards, Establishing Priorities, Maintaining
Accountability, Unconditional Acceptance, Sustaining Influence, Using
Leverage, and Partnering with Parents. These are very simple but thought
wrenching topics that all youth pastors need to be refreshed on.
The book is a must to read when diving into the Max Q world. It
spans over just two parts, The Truth about Influence and The Principles.
These two chapters are filled to the brim with insightful material that will
keep ones' pen highlighting and making notes! Many respected youth
leaders such as, Louie Giglio, Chad Childress, Doug Fields and Matt
Brinkley have endorsed the reading of this particular resource.
Along with the hardback book entitled, Max Q, comes a valuable resource
that is in a form of a 9 week curriculum pack- The Max Q Student Journal.
Recognizing the pitfalls of postmodern student life, the Max Q
Student Journal gives students a real and relevant way to stay strong in
their Christian faith. With thought-provoking questions, the basic "Max Q"
principles, and space for journaling, this book will prepare students to
handle temptation and live the life of a true witness. As students learn to
live out their faith without compromise during high-stress times, they will
find new doors for peer evangelism opening before them. Students of
today long to make a difference-in order to do that they need something
true, something real, something called Max Q.
After picking up this material and thumbing through it, I found a
wealth of material that is needed in the life of a teenager! I believe
students, with the help of this book, will do more than merely withstand the
pressures around them. They will be a powerful force for good among
their friends. The curriculum is designed to help students discover what is
means to become spiritually influential and to provide them with the tools
needed to begin that process. One of the main goals is to shift their
thinking from traditional concepts of evangelism (knocking on doors,
inviting people to big events) to what is a more biblical concept: disciplism
("disciple" with an "ism") (pg.5 Student Journal).

The journal is divided, similar to the book, in two parts. Each day
has a Q Text, a Q Test, and a Q Point. The Q Text begins with a passage
of scripture that will guide the reader through the meaning of the daily
verse. Questions follow to apply and dive deep into thinking through the
verse for that day. The Q Test, is comprised of two or three critical
questions based on the thoughts presented in the Q Text. These
questions are crafted to create tension in the readers heart and mind. The
Q Point, are several paragraphs for information and insight designed to
help the student understand, personalize, and apply the principles of
influence they are discovering.
This curriculum represents a launch pad into the life of God
designed for the student. It is designed to impact a life of knowing him and
making him known to a lost world.
