Shiny Gods

Finding Freedom From Things That Distract Us

Plot

What happens when we truly put God first in all aspects of our lives? In a culture guided chiefly by shiny, life-promising distractions, “enough” seems elusive and keeps us indebted to that next source of satisfaction. What if the Giver of Life offered freedom from this downward spiral—would you take it? In "Shiny Gods," pastor and author Mike Slaughter helps readers reassess priorities and create a culture and a lifestyle of giving with a special emphasis on missions.

The 64-page Leader Guide contains everything needed to guide a group through the "Shiny Gods" Bible study program. Includes session plans and discussion questions, as well as multiple format options. The Shiny Gods Leader Guide and DVD are also part of the "First: Putting God First in Living and Giving" stewardship program, also by Mike Slaughter.

This four-week all-church stewardship program encourages parents to educate and model generosity for their kids. Components for children and youth help families explore financial decisions together.
