Contenders for the Faith begins with Little Contenders and proceeds to Contenders for the Faith for Young Men. These handbooks will take your sons from just four years old to sixteen years or even beyond. They cover nearly everything your sons will need to learn to become godly young men, strong, fully capable of being and doing all God would have them to do. Our job, as parents, is to teach and train, and we pray that these materials will do just that.
We do encourage you to purchase the Essential Guide as that will be your guide through the next years.

Contenders Companion Notebook is designed to make it easier for the parents and children to complete the requirements in the Contenders for the Faith handbook in an organized fashion. It parallels the handbook, and every requirement in the handbook that specifies notebook work is reproduced in the notebook with plenty of room given to answer or finish the requirement. It does not, however, reproduce the requirements for all skills in the handbook, only for those requiring outside notebook work. The pages are reproducible if desired.
