Living the Promise

Living the Promise is a unique Christian Religious Education course specially written in line with the new syllabus for secondary schools. 

The topics are sequentially ordered and taught through an imaginative mode beginning with topic discussion, content presentation, a short summary and review questions. 

The emphasis throughout this course is that Christian Religious Education must lead to a more disciplined and conscientious life; it must be an integrated and holistic lifestyle. Learning CRE is therefore integrated and contextualised to make learning more enjoyable and captivating by: 
• presenting sequentially well-organised topics and sub-topics. 
• integrating text, page design and illustrations to boost understanding. 
• giving numerous highly educative indoor and outdoor activities. 
• providing activities and exercises at the end of each sub-topic. 
• employing a user-friendly approach which is well-centred on the learner's own environment. 
• covering emerging and contemporary issues such as corruption, gender, the environment, and HIV/AIDS among others. 

Living the Promise Student's Book 3, has examiner-designed test papers complete with a marking scheme to guide learners on how their final examination will be evaluated.
