Teens in our parish are on fire because of The Teen Timeline. It has inspired our youth to attend Mass regularly and get excited about their Faith. 
The Great Adventure is the perfect way to begin Catholic Bible study. This system gets my highest recommendation as the best way to begin studying Scripture. 
Our Church family has seen how participation in The Great Adventure Bible studies not only touches and transforms their lives and their homes, but also blesses our entire local community through our lived response. 
The canonical approach that The Great Adventure employs is a marvelous way to introduce the faithful to salvation history. When Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the Magisterium are all brought together in study the result is a clearer picture of God’s will, resulting in a road map for living. 
If every parish did this program, we’d see a true revolution in the Church. 
I consider The Great Adventure to be one of the most important contributions I have made to the parish, a legacy I leave my successor after my retirement soon
