Gross, embarrassing, and just plain silly questions about boogers, bugs, smelly socks, itchy scabs, and more! Adapted from the hugely popular board game, this interactive and completely engaging book serves up hundreds of bizarre, embarrassing, sometimes ethical and sometimes stomach-churning dilemmas that kids will love to pose to their friends and siblings, whether in the backseat, on a sleepover, at a party, on a rainy day, or during a lull in the lunchroom (if you dare). Ponder the icky: Would you rather eat 10 pounds of cheese -OR- a bucket of peanut butter—with nothing to drink? The exponentially icky: Would you rather drink liquid found leaking from a garbage can -OR- chew on a hairy clump found between the cushions of an old couch? The fantastic: Would you rather be able to talk with all animals -OR- be able to understand all languages? The priority-testing: As a soccer player, would you rather mess up and score a goal for the other team but still have your team win -OR- play your best game ever even though your team loses? And the hair-raising: Would you rather swim across a river that is filled with crocodiles -OR- spend the night on an island where man-eating tigers live? Fascinating sidebars throughout are filled with interesting ancillary information—the nature of drool, left-handedness vs. right-handedness, what’s dangerously filthy and what’s just gross, why we blush when we’re embarrassed—so kids can learn something as they laugh!

What do we want for the next generation? What does our future hold? What can we do as adults to foster a positive future for our kids? Most parents, grandparents, teachers, and ministers I talk to want to equip the next generation with the necessary tools to be difference makers in their world, but they don't know how to. It feels as if we are fighting against a cultural wave that is making it harder and harder to lead our kids to love God and make a difference. So what do we do? This book takes a deep look into the culture of Generation Z and Generation Alpha. The intent is to create an understanding of how to raise a generation of contributors to the kingdom and how to remove the barriers that stand in our way. We all know that these emerging generations are welcoming us into a new digital frontier full of consumption, technology, and entertainment that is more focused on happiness than contribution. Our kids are also living in a world of skepticism about truth and faith. We will unpack these faith questions and explore the tensions that exist between older and younger generations. Our kids are the future of our churches, cities, states, and country. It is critical that we begin to acknowledge that as adults, we must be intentional in understanding the culture our kids live in and be humble in our approaches to developing them as faithful servants and successful adults. So how do we raise contributors? Let's begin to discuss practical ways to raise kids who are image bearers and difference makers. I call these kids contributors.
