Jesus Our Guide Grade 4 (3rd Ed.) Student Book: Faith and Life

The Faith and Life Third Edition series is a minor update to the Revised Edition series so that all text and liturgical references conform to the implementation of the new English translation of the Roman Missal. Revised Edition teachers' manuals may continue to be used with Third Edition student text and activity books as the changes are relatively few. A list of textual changes with side by side comparisons to aid teachers using the Revised Edition teacher's manual is available from the Faith and Life website.

The Faith and Life student textbook lessons incorporate the four principal components of catechesis: the Creed, the Commandments, the Sacraments and Liturgy, Prayer and Scripture. But besides giving a clear and comprehensive presentation of our faith, the student textbook is rich in artwork, both original and Classico.

THEME: God's plan to save his people from sin (Salvation History), how we participate in that plan, and the many ways God helps us in our pilgrimage on earth to Heaven through his word, his law, and his Church.

 
SEQUENCE: B.C.: Before Christ Ch. 1-14: The fall and the first murder. The sin and suffering of mankind. God chooses his people and their leaders. A.D. In the Year of Our Lord

 
Ch. 15-30: History changes when Jesus the King comes. Through grace, especially in the sacraments, we receive the strength to do good.

 
AIM: To help fourth-grade students understand their purpose and goal in life, and to see God's plan in history and society to lead us all to Heaven, our true, eternal home.
