Here's why teachers love David C. Cook Bible-in-Life, it:

  • Is easy-to-teach and easy to prepare!
  • Is Bible-based and Christ-centered.
  • Recognizes life needs of students and reveals biblical and practical application.
  • Incorporates teaching methods to developmental abilities of each age group.
  • Enables teachers to reach every student according to the individual learning styles.

Teachers love the Four-Step Learning Plan because it's designed to mirror the compelling approach that Jesus often used.

  • Jesus started where His students were.
  • Jesus shared life-changing truth.
  • Jesus explained how His truth applied.
  • Jesus called for action.

The Four-Step Learning Plan follows a similar pattern:

Step 1: Motivate
The purpose of step one is to link your students' life experiences (home, friends, school, etc.) to the Lesson Focus and to interest them in the topic.

Step 2: Learn the Facts
The purpose of step two is to present the Bible information to your students.

Step 3: Practice
The purpose of step three is to provide a variety of opportunities to practice the information they've just acquired.

Step 4: Apply
The purpose of step four is to encourage your students to apply what they've learned to their everyday experiences.
