Faith and Life 1-8, Ignatius

A comprehensive Catholic program that combines traditional Catholic artwork with a thorough doctrinal and scriptural presentation of basic Catholic teachings. The series focuses on what we believe (creed), what we do (commandments), the means to our end (sacraments and liturgy), and what we hope for (prayer and Scripture). Eight grade-level themes include the Trinity, Sacraments, salvation, Creed, Ten Commandments, grace, church history, and the structure of the church.

Student Books which are not consumable, have full-color photos and classic art. Question-and-answer sections emphasize the doctrinal elements. Quotations from Scripture, the liturgy, church documents, and the saints highlight important points. Each student book has vocabulary, a glossary and basic Catholic prayers.

Teacher/Catechist Manuals for each grade are 9 x 12 with a layout that wraps around reduced size student pages. They include detailed plans for lessons, games, songs and activities, along with appendices of tests and quizzes.

The program also includes an Activity Book for each grade level. These provide students with four activities for each lesson and are designed for classroom or home use.
