A JOURNAL FOR D/C - 2nd Edition 2006

$12.95

The two part D/C journal, called The Journey, presents the story of God from beginning to end. One book explores the Old Testament and the other presents the New Testament and church history. The Journey encourages students to read their Bibles daily using passages that expand on the material presented in the journal. So the Bible is the central textbook for D/C and the journal becomes the guide or roadmap. 

THE LEADER'S GUIDE - 2nd Edition 2007

 $39.95

A loose-leaf notebook provides the teaching plan for each session in The Journey. Careful attention is given to include ideas that are appropriate for a variety of learning styles in each session plan.

The session plans are designed for a 60 minute time frame with options available to expand the time to 90 minutes. Also included are suggestions for adapting the plans for both large and small class sizes.

Other resources in the Leader’s Guide include:

• Introductory articles
• A list of the Building Blocks
• Appendix articles describing Why D/C, Parent’s Role, Mentor’s Role, a guide for game playing, Parent Forum ideas, and a creation and evolution article.

MENTOR'S GUIDE

$5.95

A spiritual mentor is a vital element in the spiritual growth of youth. Mentors encourage youth in their relationship with Christ.  Parents and other interested Christian adults can serve effectively as mentors. The acronym FAITH provides a reminder of the characteristics of a spiritual mentor.

• Faithful - dependable, fulfills commitments
• Available - willing to make time to invest in the life of a young person
• Initiator - initiates contact with the student
• Teachable - willing to grow, interested in learning
• Heart for God - desires to follow Christ wholeheartedly

HOW TO ADAPT D/C FOR ADULTS

$5.00

Churches that provide D/C for adolescents often have adults who  express interest in forming such a group. Although designed for early adolescents, some churches have discovered that The Journey is also helpful for adults. A resource, "How to Adapt The Journey Discipleship/Confirmation Curriculum for Adult Learners", was written to help churches evaluate and use The Journey as a resource for adult learners.
