"I totally had to get this book"
Jo writes regarding Not the Same Old, Done-it-before Youth Meetings ... "I think this book is really good and helpful. I first read the online version of the book because I did not want to pay for it. But after reading a couple of program ideas and having a very very successful youth program I totally HAD to get this book. It is well worth the money."
Hear what Cara of Goodreads says about Review: "Wow! Its one of the few realistic and useful youth books I've run across and is recommended for youth pastors and adult volunteers in youth." Thanks, Cara, for reading and sharing.

The Chest of Visions is a story of hope!
New Edition The Chest of Visions: Secrets of Caperston coming out in September 2020. THe edition is thirty percent longer with more details about the world of Caperston, located in a parallel universe and its customs. Details about the young people and significant adults in the story has also been added.
A review from Jim Penna, who read the new version summarized, "Tim Ferguson has written a story with biblical themes and some Star Trek type science fiction. The story moves right along, a real page-turner. I would recommend this book to any reader. The illustrator is quite good also."
Pastor Jada Hodgson writes ...
"Sometimes it seems different generations are from different worlds. ... I am grateful for this book. It is a good story, well told and delightfully illustrated."
Pastor Dianne Dunne writes ... "The Chest Of Visions is an excellent tool to reach our youth today."
"I read this book with a thirteen year old girl and once we were finished I asked her how she felt about our experience. She said it
definitely made her think about many things in her own life and in her walk with God."
