Teens of the Bible Jephthah Son of Gilead

This biographical story teaches things such as why it is best to not pass judgment, how crucial it is to be good to people, how difficult forgiveness often is, the fact that apologies are not guaranteed, what fair conflict resolution looks like, the negative and positive consequences of success, the fact that you are likely to face your own loved ones on the spiritual and emotional battlefield with long lasting consequences if not already experienced, the power of words, the folly of rushed actions based on unnecessary misunderstandings, and the distress and misery one can experience honoring man's words and promises over God's words and promises. Jephthah's life is a great and difficult Bible Study for older teens and young adults who are developing character strengths for a stronger life.
