Everyday you are faced with choices about your health, from personal nutritional choices and fitness to drug and substance use, relationships and social health. BJU Press Health offers teens and their parents a solidly biblical worldview to the challenges that surround us. Topically, students will study general health and happiness, health and safety, mental health and your brain, various mental disorders (anxiety disorder, depression, PTSD) and biblical counseling/life skills, nutrition and fitness, infectious and chronic diseases, physical/sensory/cognitive disorders, reproductive health, substance abuse, environmental health and more. Throughout the book, key questions students will answer include: Who did God make me to be? How can I interact with others so that we all flourish? How can I determine what is true when there is so much conflicting information? When faced with an ethical dilemma, how do I weigh the options and make the right decision? Finally, how can I become who God wants me to be? The full-color, well-illustrated, softcover Health Textbook provides student readings, section reviews, chapter reviews, chapter review questions, glossary and index. The Health Teacher Edition provides an overview of shaping a biblical worldview in health, teaching guidance, lesson plan overview, reduced student pages with teaching notes and strategies, chapter review answers, and more. It does include a one-semester or two-semester learning pathway. The consumable, Health Assessments (not reproducible), offers one test per chapter. Answers are found in the separate Health Assessments Key. Components are available separately or in a Homeschool Kit. Not compatible with the previous edition.
