Teaching manual. "Creating a Christian Lifestyle" is a comprehensive course that addresses issues relevant to all states of life from a Christian perspective, treating them as foundational to any examination of single life, marriage, religious life, and ordained ministry. Five chapters (chapters 11-15) are devoted to the specific lifestyle paths, but the larger portion of the book focuses on life themes that are common to all of these paths: identity and autonomy, love, communication, sexuality, friendship, creativity and learning, work, money and possessions, and suffering and healing. Early in each chapter are thought-provoking stories, poems, or examples that can lead students into a discussion of the topic that follows. Engaging activities that invite reflection, discussion, and journal writing are interspersed throughout the margins of the student text. The full-color lively design and over fifty outstanding, original artworks by students help stimulate students' interest and illustrate the content.
