     Let God Be God: A Study of the Attributes of God (Grades 9-10)

 
PDP High School Bible:  Let God Be God
A study of the character and attributes of God, this course encourages teens to wrestle with questions they frequently ask in a framework that draws the answers from Scripture. The course is designed on the premise that the more we come to know God through a careful study of His Word, the greater will be our challenge to maintain a right relationship with Him. The attributes are organized into helpful categories: the knowledge of God, the Trinity, God's unshared attributes, and God's shared attributes.
 
The workbook helps students tackle each attribute through appropriate exercises and activities and guides students in translating their knowledge into personal application. The teacher edition provides extensive lesson helps along with detailed content overviews, blackline masters, and assessment tools.

PDP High School Bible:  Missio Dei
 
 
This course includes three essential components:
 
The student edition introduces the term Missio Dei — 'Mission of God.' It provides opportunities for students to explore and engage in God's mission as the foundation for the story of the Bible, as the lens through which we all relate to others cross-culturally, as the centerpiece of history, and as the driving force for living "missionally" in whatever context we find ourselves.
 
The teacher edition will guide you step-by-step through the teaching of the material and through the leading of various activities and assignments.
 
The journal (Missio Dei: The Journey) was developed as a companion piece and an integral part of the student's study. The journal is filled with article excerpts, Bible verses, quotations, places for reflection, and activities directly related to the lessons.
 
Please note that the Missio Dei journal is out of print and available in e-book format only.
