GUARD - Guys Understanding Authority and Real Discipleship - is a group study for teen boys. The book is written by Caleb Colley (sister Hannah wrote the GIFTS book). Based on initial reviews, the GUARD book promises to be just as successful as GIFTS.

Some of the topics covered include: the Divine inspiration of the Bible; who was Jesus?; being in Christ; idols; respecting yourself, others and God; dancing; drugs and alcohol.

The book is 13 chapters long. The GUARD program for Lads to Leaders & Leaderettes is structured the same as GIFTS. Groups of 3 to 10 teen boys meet monthly with an adult male leader to study through the chapters and work on projects that are included at the end of each chapter. The program is designed to be done over a 3-year period (one level per year) - Level 1 is the first four chapters; Level 2 is the second four chapters and Level 3 is the final five chapters.

GIFTS is an acronym for Girls In Fellowship and Team Study. It is a great guide for personal Bible study, for informal group studies or for teen girls’ classes. GIFTS is designed to foster a spirit of cooperation and fellowship among Christian teen girls; to develop a spiritual relationship and dependence on one another for strength to overcome temptation and serve faithfully; and to grow in the ability to lead and participate in ladies’ Bible classes. Some of the topics in the book are: modesty, using appropriate language, abstinence, faith and prayer.
