Believe~Student Edition

  I received a copy of this book from ZonderKids in exchange for a review.
                                                                                   The Believe Student Edition ( Randy Frazee general editor), written for teens and students, is laid out like a bible study.  The book is broken into 3 sections of 10 lessons or chapters each.  the book broken down into 3 sections: Think, Act and Be.
   Each of these sections has 10 chapter or lessons.  Think, the first section focuses on the core beliefs answering the question, What do I believe?   Act, the second section, focuses on the practices of Christian life, answering the question:  What should I do?  Finally Be, the third section, focuses on the Virtues of Christian life answering the question, Who am I becoming? I think this is important for any teen.  There is so much grown, development and change going on from 13-18, why not continue the first Christian values and instruction thru these years?
     The chapters on average are 10 pages each and consist of several sections: The keys, Our Map, Transitions, Key stories, Core truths,  Reflection questions and what we believe.  The Keys include a key question, idea and verse.  Our maps is a sneak peak of what will be covered in that lesson.  In the transitions area will guide you through the chapter where as the key stories are at the beginning and end of the Bible stories pointing out the characters that have the virtues or practice what is being taught with in that lesson.  The Core truths highlights and helps us to understand why that passage was chosen to teach us the particular lesson and the reflection questions are just that.  There are 5 reflection questions with in each chapter.  This allows us to stop and think about what we are reading, reflecting and journaling ( if you wish).  This give you the opportunity to also have a group discussion if you are working on this with multiple children/students.  The final section, what we believe pulls it all together.  With in section we wrap up what was taught or studied in the lesson and pull it all together.
     This book is well written and when paired with the Believe Kids edition and Believe (the adult edition) you can engage the whole family in the study!
