More Young Searchers

Young Searchers has been a regular feature in the Open Bible Trust’s magazine Search. Although aimed at ‘young’ people we have found that many ‘young in the faith’ have enjoyed and learnt from these pages. A first collection of 52 of these was published some years ago. This book contains a second collection of another 52.
 
If any organisations wish to use the articles, puzzles and prayers contained in this book they are free to copy them, and there is no need to seek permission
