When Life Has Been Broken: The God Who Heals, Rebuilds, and Restores Teacher Ed
This Teacher's Edition contains the complete Student Edition lesson for every week, together with an entire layer of teacher-only material — allowing you to prepare and teach from one volume. For each of the 52 weeks, you'll find:
Clear teaching objectives and a full materials list
Both a 75-minute full session and a 60-minute short session schedule
Expanded historical and biblical context beyond what students receive
Expanded word studies, with guidance on what's worth sharing in class versus what's for your own preparation
Additional cross-references for deeper teacher preparation
Pastoral cautions specific to that week's content — including trauma, grief, abuse, disability, suicidal despair, and other sensitive material
Common misapplications to watch for, and how to redirect them
Ten of the study's most sensitive weeks also include a "Questions Participants May Ask" section, anticipating honest questions and providing pastorally sound answers
Teacher's Insight callouts at key interpretive, historical, and theological points
Full discussion-question guidance and Digging Deeper teaching notes
A complete Ten-Question Review answer key for every week — 520 answers in total
A Teacher's Closing Checklist to help you debrief your own preparation
Across six units and fifty-two weeks, this study moves from understanding brokenness itself, through God's restoration of specific people in rejection, moral failure, and unexplained suffering, into Christ's own restoring ministry, and finally into the Church's calling to practice restoration together — closing with the certain hope of the new creation.
Every week distinguishes carefully between what Scripture explicitly states, reasonable interpretation, and pastoral application — equipping you to teach with real confidence where the text is clear, and real honesty where it isn't. This is not an answer key. It is a complete leader's teaching system for walking wounded people toward the God who heals, rebuilds, and restores.
