"Do you wish you could transform your life?" this site asks. It's a wide-ranging collection of Bible study material for teens, based on the book of Romans, which urges believers to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

There are commentaries on all 16 chapters in the book of Romans. (If you've got high-speed Internet, select the Shockwave version for an interactive version of the same material.) Visitors can download study sheets and quizzes for each chapter – no charge, and no need to register. There's a "Time Travel" section explaining the historical context of the book – defining terms like "zealots" and "Pax Romana." Teens are urged to apply the teachings in the section "Look at Myself," which poses questions such as "Do I boast?" and "Do I fast?"

This exhaustive site was created by Jason Barker, a member of St. Peter Orthodox Church in Fort Worth and part of the youth ministry of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of North America. According to Mr. Barker, it's the only multimedia Orthodox Christian Bible study for teens. However, visitors will find much of the material applicable for teens of all denominations.
