I imagine we have all had an experience in Junior High or High School with a Slam Book or Burn Book (as made popular by The Plastics in the teen movie Mean Girls). I still remember sitting in the choir room and seeing the dreaded notebook being passed when the teacher would turn her back to the class. It was filled with mean-spirited words that targeted anyone and everyone in my class.
Not all Slam Books are meant for evil. Many are used as a fun and creative way to build community and poke a little fun at the same time.
This got me thinking...what if there were a Bible High, all the people in the Bible were classmates, and a Slam Book was passed around? Who would be who? Below are my nominations. Feel free to comment and suggest new categories and/or your own nominations.
Two rules:
- God, or any form of God (Jesus, Holy Spirit), cannot be used. Nominating Jesus as the most likely to succeed is too easy!
- Please cite Scripture references next to your nomination.
Most Likely to Succeed: Joseph (Genesis 29:23)
Most Athletic: Elijah (I Kings 18:44-46)
Hottest Guy: The Rich Guy (Luke 16:19-24)
Hottest Girl: Esther (Esther 2:12, 15-18)
Cutest Couple: Aquila and Pricilla (Acts 18:2) Come on, their names even rhyme! You know they had air brushed T-shirts that read "Aquila loves Pricilla" and vice versa!

Biggest Flirt: Potiphar's Wife (Genesis 39:7-20)
Most Likely to Wind Up in Prison: Paul (2 Corinthians 11:23-28)
