Messy lyfe is a child-led activity booklet/magazine that helps people to learn how to live life with Jesus. It is a `next steps' guide for families on the fringe of church. The booklet is pitched for children (aged 6-9years old) who we anticipate will be the driver of the family group/unit as they progress through the daily sessions. The booklet contains three daily sessions over a six-week period (18 sessions) based around the six lyfe areas-starting with prayer, followed by living a good life, working with the Holy Spirit, loving other people, knowing the Bible and living close to God. Simple to read, with space for writing, doodling, and so on.
