The Rooted and Grounded A Guide for Spiritual Growth Teacher’s Guide includes student lessons, with teacher’s notes, suggested answers, application helps, visual demonstrations, and review/quiz answer keys. The teacher’s guide was designed by teachers for busy teachers. Verses used in each lesson are included and printed in both KJV and NIV for a teacher friendly format.  As a bonus and in addition to the focused study of the core principles of God’s word and personal application, each weeks’ Bible study begins with one of Julie Bosacker’s beautiful unreached people sketches,  cultural information, and a location map.  This profile of an unreached people group gives each student an introduction to the spiritual needs of our world and a challenge to prayer.  The Teacher’s Guide makes teaching easier since all the preparation is completed for the teacher.

The Rooted and Grounded Student Workbook is designed to give the student space to write answers. There is a memory challenge with each lesson and a memory challenge review schedule included in the student and teacher’s guide. Lessons include writing assignments when appropriate. Reviews at the end of each lesson can be used as quizzes if preferred. Enjoyable artwork illustrates each lesson. The unit tests cover principles and concepts taught and studied in the lessons, and they are essential for evaluating the student’s grasp of application of the principles and concepts. Encouragement for Christian living is presented in an appealing and easy-to-use format. 

Discovering Our Amazing God,  7-9th Grade Bible Curriculum (Book 1)
 Jan L. Harris, Howard & Bonnie Lisech   Deeper Roots Publications

This exciting Bible Curriculum deliberately focuses on some of the less familiar stories and events in the Bible to give Junior High students a new appreciation of our loving God.  Beautiful artwork, line drawings, and suggested activities intermingled with inductive Bible study will interest and motivate students for study and discussion. 

The Teacher’s Guide will help teachers present fresh new ideas, and the Student Workbook includes reflection or journal pages to help students organize and record their new appreciation of our amazing God. 

Each lesson also introduces an unreached people group to broaden students’ understanding of the world beyond our borders.  This profile with artwork, regional maps and cultural specifics focuses on larger blocks of unreached people and gives each student an introduction to the spiritual needs of our world and a challenge to pray for them.

Discovering Who I Am In Christ,  7-9th Grade Bible Curriculum (Book 2)
 Jan L. Harris, Howard & Bonnie Lisech, Deeper Roots Publications

Second in the Deeper Roots “Discovery” series, Discovering Who I Am In Christ–book 2 is an exciting new addition that will help Jr. High age believers understand take ownership of their personal identity in Christ.  This life changing principle is the main focus of these studies.

The Teacher’s Guide and Student Workbook are similar in layout and function to those found in Book 1.  Each lesson also introduces an unreached people group to broaden students’ understanding of the world beyond our borders.  This profile with artwork, regional maps and cultural specifics focuses on larger blocks of unreached people and gives each student an introduction to the spiritual needs of our world and a challenge to pray for them.
