What on Earth Can I Do? Volume 4

Description

"What On Earth Can I Do?" is the fourth and final volume in Apologia’s What We Believe series. In this course, students will understand how to rightly relate to God and follow Him with their whole heart. Across eight lessons, they will learn what it means to love and follow Jesus, as well as how to be a “good and faithful servant.” Additional topics cover how God owns all things because He created and sustains all things; how He has entrusted them with specific gifts and wants them to use the gifts for His glory; how to honor and glorify God with money, time, talents, and their body; and caring for creation. Students will also come to understand that God rewards faithfulness. The Textbook contains student lessons, questions, and prayer points. Students will need a personal journal or notebook; you may want to use the companion What On Earth Can I Do? Notebooking Journal. Families doing the course together may find the What On Earth Can I Do? Junior Notebooking Journal helpful for younger family members.
