Catholic morality draws on three sources of knowledge to help a person discern between right and wrong: human reason (using our God-given intellects); human experience (learning from the collective wisdom of others who have gone before us); and Divine Revelation (learning from God whose truth can be found in the Bible and in the teaching of the Magisterium of the Church).  Written and designed in the popular and field-tested Encountering Jesus series format  Your Life in Christ: Foundations in Catholic Morality centers each chapter in a student-directed focus question. The ensuing chapter material clues teens in to concrete ways to answer the question and apply it to their lives in the present as well as consider how their personal answer will have an impact in their lives many years down the road. Chapter assignments are a hallmark of the Encountering Jesus series. There are three chapter assignment options in every chapter. Each is pitched to a different learning style (defined in the Teachers Wraparound Edition) and created principally so that the students can complete their work on the assignment within a two-week period. There are several other new features in this edition of Your Life in Christ to help students learn and retain key course topics: Contemporary News Openers: Helping to balance the informative and formative aspects of the text  each chapter begins with a current example that connects with the chapter material while also helping students to personalize their responses to the main focus question. Note Taking Graphic Organizers: How do you encourage your students to complete their assigned reading? How do you assess that they have done so? Each of the five sections (including the introduction) of the ten chapters of the text includes a different note-taking prompt to help students highlight  outline  and remember what they have read. Questions geared specifically to the note taking are included with each section assessment Infographics and Photo Essays: Teens today read and communicate using digital devices. The text is designed with several infographic presentations of key concepts to resemble the type of presentation they view in an interactive online platform. Infographic features are both incorporated into the main text sections and in separate  pull-out material.  As with other texts in the Encountering Jesus series  Your Life in Christ: Foundations in Catholic Morality is available in several different platforms  including in the popular enhanced i-text version with several supporting embedded videos from sources such as Word on Fire Catholic Ministries  Catholic Relief Services  and expert teaching lessons tailored to the text by well-known educator Katie Prejean McGrady and bestselling and award-winning author and speaker Brandon Vogt. Also included are interactive charts and maps and online references for all Scripture and Catechism citations. Many ancillary online resources are available to accompany all forms of the text: directed reading worksheets  crossword puzzles  PowerPoint slides  YouTube writing and discussion assignments  chapter tests  handouts  and more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67687873314869,"sku":"ByrdShop_1594717362","price":67.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781594717369_015e35bd-ae13-47ab-8460-82611c0397a6.jpg?v=1792157485","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/your-life-in-christ-foundations-in-catholic-morality-encountering-jesus-9781594717369","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
