From Brethren Press: Youth should each have a blank book for journaling if leaders use the reproducible handouts. The CO Journal, available at low cost from Brethren Press, takes the place of the reproducible handouts and the blank book. It contains most of the handouts, along with extra prayers and questions for journaling, and has been prepared so that it is possible for a reader to use independently. Because of this it varies slightly from the online version.
