With a goal of teaching the Bible to transform adult lives, I search for object lessons, illustrations, exercises, etc. I post these (and some original ideas) in hopes other teachers will benefit, too.

A letter, not an email
Want to do something meaningful after studying Ecclesiastes? Read Letters from Dad, by Greg Vaughn. The reviews on Amazon are great. I just finished reading it. A class exercise is take one of the sample letters from the book's appendix and show it to the class. Pass out note cards and envelopes and have members write a note to a loved one using the sample letter as a guide. Have members mail their notes and report back to the class later any reactions from recipients they want to share. The results might surprise you!
Hi J,
ReplyDeleteThe author advocates writing many letters over time so he mentions a “box” to contain the letters to be received in the future in addition to the initial letter.
Here is a link to the Letters from Dad website that has several example letters.

Hope this helps!
