Image of God series second edition, Who Has God's Life?
provides first grade students with an introduction to the
Trinity with emphasis on the life of Jesus. Students learns
about grace, what it is and does for us; become acquainted
with the Apostles and beginning of the Church; the plan of
salvation and the child's part in that plan. Children learn
about angels, sacraments and basic prayers.
The student
workbook is a perform-a-text which combines text and
activity in one book. Reading readiness activities - word
recognition, rhyming, and simple sentence reading - using
Catholic vocabulary are part of the workbook activities.
Clear, comprehensive and interesting presentation of the
Catholic Faith based on seven key concepts: God, Creation,
Christ, Church, Grace, Sacraments and Commandments. Stories
from Scripture, lives of the saints and contemporary
situations give students Catholic role models and examples
of living the faith. The lessons are complimented by
colorful illustrations.

detailed, thorough and full of practical
ideas.
