Working With Intermediates

"Working With Intermediates" is a comprehensive guide dedicated to the religious education and spiritual development of young teenagers within the church setting. Written by the influential educator G.S. Dobbins, this work addresses the unique challenges and opportunities presented by the "intermediate" age group-typically those in their early teens. The book explores effective teaching methods, leadership strategies, and organizational structures designed to engage young minds during a critical period of physical and psychological transition.

Dobbins emphasizes the importance of understanding the social and emotional needs of youth, advocating for a pedagogical approach that combines biblical instruction with practical application. The text covers essential topics such as department organization, lesson planning, and the role of the teacher in fostering a supportive environment for spiritual growth. By focusing on the specific characteristics of intermediates, Dobbins provides a roadmap for church workers and educators to cultivate a lasting faith in the next generation. This foundational text remains a significant contribution to the history of Christian education and youth ministry, offering timeless insights into the mentorship of young people.
