RECOMMENDED BOOKS
The journal is designed to be combined with a book of your own choice. Students will read a chapter each week and write a brief summary of its contents. To help you choose a book, we have prepared a list of books that correspond closely to the theme of each 12 week journal.
We have designed this resource to be affordable for you with the hope that all those will have an opportunity to take part. You will only need to purchase a book to go with the journal each semester. Why books you ask? There is no better source of content to promote significant growth.
We have come to know that, 'learning promotes growth! Imagine the growth of your children/students as they read multiple theologically based books over the course of several semesters.
Please note, the books are suggestions only to make this as simple a process as possible for you. By suggesting them we are not endorsing all content, we are simply pointing you to options that have been known to help many.
