Who Is My Neighbor? And Why Does He Need Me?, Textbook (3 What We Believe)(Hardcover)

Volume 3 in Apologia’s What We Believe series, Who is My Neighbor? And Why Does He Need Me? Helps children understand how to live as Christians who are salt and light in the world, in their country, in their family, and in their lives wherever they go.
Designed around a notebooking concept, instructions provide opportunities for students to think and ponder the questions given, as well as consider their own thoughts in the “Make a Note of It” section. Each lesson features an introduction to the main topic, learning objectives, a short story, thought-provoking questions, important vocabulary words, two Bible memory verses, interesting interdisciplinary topics, godly character traits that students should demonstrate as a response, prayer, discussion questions, and a story about a person who encountered Jesus during His time on earth. The multi-chapter stories focus on a family during the Civil War as well as the life of an early Chinese immigrant family.
Customize the schedule to your students’ level; most chapters can be covered in two weeks, and this study may be used independently or with a parent. A suggested lesson plan is included for guidance if desired. Ages 6-14, NIV, NLT, and NCV Scripture verses are used. 276 pages, hardcover, indexed.
