Alpha Omega LIFEPAC Bible
Each set of ten LIFEPAC worktexts provides a
complete, year-long Bible curriculum. From a
Christian publisher, this Bible course is a nondenominational doctrinal approach to Scripture
mastery. Both Scripture reading and memorization is included in each LIFEPAC and both Old
and New Testaments are studied at each grade
level. This program is very easy to use, with
minimum preparation time, colorful worktexts,
and self-paced instruction. Complete Boxed
Sets include all teacher and student materials;
sets of LIFEPACS only (no teacher materials) are
also available for additional students.
teacher. 30 lessons (five days per lesson) cover
the Old Testament at a very basic level. Since
attention span is limited at this level, lessons are
designed to be short and fast-paced. Lessons
stress God's love and include the following: a
Bible story in simple language, key discussion
ideas, definitions of any words or phrases that
might be unfamiliar, a model prayer, review
questions, shortened or paraphrased Bible verses, songs and hymns, and "Virtue Lessons"
to help a child apply God's word in his life.
Hymns used in this program come from My
First Hymnal, which is currently out of print. A
simplified version with 15 simple arrangements
and a recorder is currently available. The CD,
which includes all the hymns, is still available.
Bible Beginnings II is designed for the young
reader/writer in the early elementary years and
features large print lessons that are perfect for
the young Bible scholar who is ready to read
and write on his own. Beginnings II contains
two books, Jesus, My Shepherd New Testament
Lessons and God’s Promises Old Testament
Lessons. This series correlates with the lessons
in the first level. This study contains 30 large
print lessons (five days per lesson) with Bible
stories and questions which are either multiple
choice or short word answers. Other elements
include Bible Words to Remember to encourage
memorization skills, Prayer Thoughts to help
each child learn to talk with God, Think About
which helps students to apply God’s Word to
his/her life, and Words to Know which defines
difficult words or concepts. Allow about thirty
minutes per day for these lessons.
Discovery lessons are divided into five-day
sections. Each section covers specific Bible
verses, which are quoted using the New King
James Version. Next, definitions are given
for any words that might be unfamiliar to the
students. Finally, 10 to 15 comprehension
questions about the text complete each section.
Map activities are sometimes included as a portion of the comprehension questions. After Day
5, review questions are given which cover the
entire five days of the lesson. Half an hour per
day should be adequate to cover the day’s work,
but you might allow an extra five to ten minutes
on Friday to do the lesson review questions.
Quest lessons are also divided into five-day sections. Day 1 is typically a vocabulary review,
or a review of material previously learned. Also
on Day 1, the student reads through the several
pages of notes included at the end of the lesson.
These notes are a commentary on the scriptures
that will be studied during this week’s lesson.
The remaining four days of the lesson typically
ask the student to read a section of the Bible and
then to answer questions relating to the Bible
reading. These questions are typically comprehension questions, although some questions
require application of scripture or ask opinions
of the student. At the end of the week, the
student reads through the several pages of notes
included at the end of the lesson. These notes
are a commentary on the Scriptures that will be
studied during the week’s lesson. Depending
on the amount of Bible reading, plan to spend
a half hour to an hour per day on each section.
The Explorer’s Bible Study is quite well done.
Its emphasis is on studying the Bible, not on
promoting any particular denominational viewpoint. Although the NKJV is quoted in the Bible
738
Bible
Discovery level, any version of the Bible can be
used with the program. Teacher preparation
time is minimal, and most of the family can
study the same sections of the Bible at the same
time. This series would be an excellent starting
point for lifelong Bible study.

Curriculum (PK-12)
I can see why we have had multiple requests
for this Bible curriculum. Originally written for
Christian schools, the popularity of this curriculum has continued to grow in other countries
as well as in the United States. They now make
their materials available for homeschool as they
strive to teach the child’s heart as well as the
head.
Grades PK-6
Each grade has a different focus and presents
concepts that will enhance a child’s life by building their Bible knowledge which in turn should
strengthen their relationship with the Lord.
Preschool - Takes young students from
Creation to the ascension of Jesus in 40
stories. Activities include puzzles, coloring,
cut-and-paste and more.
Kindergarten - Teaches children about God
through the lives of major characters from
both the Old and New Testament: Adam
and Eve, Joseph, Moses, Jesus, Zacchaeus,
and Paul are just a few. Activities help children comprehend and apply Bible truths.
Grade 1 – Enjoying God’s Gifts: Aspects of
creation, our families, friends, possessions,
Jesus Christ, and God’s care.
Grade 2 – Finding God’s Promises: Study
the life of Moses and the Israelites as they
experience God’s promises, victory, and
tribulation as they learn to trust God.
Grade 3 – Growing with God: Students
will develop character through the lessons
learned from Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, and
Daniel concerning the rewards of living for
God.
Grade 4 – Building Life Castles: Focus on
the life of Christ, work of the Holy Spirit,
and the Apostle Paul teach students to build
their lives to be strong and beautiful.
Grade 5 – Possessing the Land: A survey
of the Old Testament helps students gain
insight into how the Old Testament stories
fit together into one pattern.
Grade 6 – Winning the Race: Students learn
how the principles of God’s Word help
them gain victory in the race of life. This is
done through studies of Bible characters and
an overview of Revelation.
The teacher manual CD-ROM offers suggestions for 3, 4, and 5 day a week lessons, a
scripture memory program, and an accompanying music program. The music program teaches
students hymns and choruses to complement the
lessons and are taken from the books “Sing & Be
Happy” and “Treasury of Hymn Histories.” The
words only are printed at the back of the student text and on the teacher CD. 35 lessons are
presented in PDF format and include vocabulary, objectives, character trait activities, lesson
quizzes and small-format student pages with
answers. The colorful student workbook offers
a variety of activities which may include crosswords, wordsearches, writing, and fill-in-theblanks. The exercises reinforce the key concept
being taught in the lesson and incorporate new
vocabulary, thinking skills, and life application.
This course can be used successfully with the
KJV, NKJV, NIV, NASB, and ESV. ~ Donna

focus, its own specific message, there is a common theme and story that ties them all together.
Route 66 is a survey of both the specific and
overall themes encountered throughout the
Bible. It works through all of the individual
books, in the process laying the groundwork
for a solid understanding of the Scripture and
the principles within. Though I don’t know if
there is an official term for it, this is definitely
an “open-Bible” study: students (and probably
parents too!) will need to have their Bibles out
and open as they work through the lessons.
The student’s manual plunges right into the
lessons, using a consumable format that, once

completed, will result in an attractive keep-sake
full of easy-to-reference overview and summary
information for the entire Bible. The teacher
CD-ROM contains PDF files of all the completed pages from the student’s manual as well
as a huge teacher section. The teacher section
is split between an introduction to the course
and a notes section. The introduction describes
the advantages of a Bible survey, the purpose
of the course, methods used, teaching tips, lesson objectives, and a memory verse program.
The notes section is 121 pages of teaching tips
and suggestions for discussion topics, activities,
games, projects, and questions for enhancing
the lessons. Some of the suggestions in the
notes section are for groups or classrooms, and
would be hard to do without a group, but most
will work well in a homeschool setting. The
last section on the CD is a test file containing
13 tests, a mid-term, and a final exam. Positive
Action Bible Curriculum has done a commendable job putting together this comprehensive
Bible survey. – Zach

☼Wise Up: Wisdom in Proverbs (6-8)
Young people today are bombarded with
examples of foolish behavior and humanistic
thinking. How can we as parents, teachers and
youth group leaders equip them with wisdom
for making right choices through their later teen
and adult years? How about guiding them into
a right understanding of wisdom? Looking at the
differences between Godly wisdom and worldly
thinking as well as wisdom and foolishnesses,
this study leads students in understanding what
God’s word says about every decision they
will make in life. Topics include: Attitudes,
Friendships, Loving people, dealing with the
flesh, walking in the Spirit, integrity, meekness
and humility, self-control, finances, controlling our words, being a good leader and much
more. Consumable SC Student Manual contains
introductory reading assignments and lesson
reviews, outlines for teaching sessions and
inductive study questions designed to challenge
students to “dig into” God’s Word. The Teacher
Manual on CD contains 35 lessons, schedules
for three-, four-, or five- day per week Bible
classes, learning objectives, teaching strategies,
optional scripture memorization plan, weekly
quizzes and unit tests (answer keys included),
and reduced student pages with answers. ~

☼Dynamic Christian Living: Basics of the
Christian Life (8-9)
Written from the perspective that spiritual
growth has five essential stages, this yearlong
study covers the basics of Christian living with
the engaging, in-depth studies we have come
to expect from Positive Action for Christ.
Beginning with salvation and our new birth,
consequent chapters explore the Bible as the
inspired Word of God along with the intrinsic
value of daily study, developing a prayer life,
telling others about Jesus, and glorifying Christ
in our daily lives.
Consumable SC Student Manual contains
Scriptures for memorization and reporting sheet,
teacher lesson outlines, brief explanations and
inductive study questions designed to challenge
students to “dig into” God’s Word.
The Teacher Manual on CD contains 35
lessons, weekly schedules for three-, four-,
or five- day per week Bible classes, learning
objectives, teaching strategies, optional scripture memorization plan, weekly quizzes and

for upper middle and high school, this could be
an excellent resource for a new believer at any
age. ~ Deanne

☼Behold Your God: Magnifying His Majesty
(9-11)
Designed for the serious student of God, this
awe-inspiring study focuses on the God-head
and what it means to magnify His Majesty.
Beginning with the knowledge of God, you will
dig deep into the nature of God, the attributes of
God, the History of Christ, the Person of Christ,
and the Holy Spirit. A recommended reading list
is included with aligned application activities
to expose the student to the important works
of great men of God, like A.W. Tozer, Thomas
Watson, C.H. Spurgeon and many others.
Consumable SC Student Manual contains
introductory reading assignments, charts/diagrams and outlines corresponding to the teacher’s lecture, inductive study questions completed independent of class time, application
activities, and a glossary. The Teacher Manual
on CD contains 35 lessons, weekly schedules
for three-, four-, or five- day per week Bible
classes, learning objectives, teaching strategies,
optional scripture memorization plan, weekly
quizzes and unit tests (answer keys included),
and reduced student pages with answers. While
designed for upper level students, I suspect
many adults will be brought to their knees as
they study the fathomless topic of the God-head.
I personally was overwhelmed by the complexity of the One I call my Lord and Savior as I read
through this book. ~ Deanne

Proverbs (9-AD)
This study of Proverbs is not only well done,
it’s the kind of book you want to hold and
peruse for its texture and inviting allure. Positive
Action for Christ has written a study that will
prepare your high schooler for what lays beyond
the high school years, by helping lay the foundation for wisdom and character. This 35 lesson
study is completely focused on wisdom and its
life-application. Charles Bridges said of Proverbs
and the young, “It takes them as it were by
the hand, sets up way-marks to warn against
coming danger and imminent temptations, and
allures them into the bright ways of God by the
most engaging motives.” The first eight lessons
prepare the student for the remainder of the
book, which focuses on the Christian walk and
fruits of the spirit, and their relationship with
others. There will be reading, discussion topics,
and note-taking during the instructor’s lecture.
An optional indexing activity encourages the
student to categorize the topics in Proverbs
using chapter and verse, which can be a help-

ful tool for future reference. Opportunities for
assessment are provided through quizzes and
tests. In every lesson there is a short amount of
reading and an application section for the student. It is followed by a teacher lesson in which
the student fills in notes as the parent/teacher
speaks. ‘Developing the ideas’ is the closing
section of the lesson and includes memory work
and project suggestions to put the new lesson
in practice. The teacher CD-ROM contains
PDF files of valuable information. It not only
includes answers in small format student pages,
but offers grading rubrics, further explanation of
the program, and the lecture portion on which
the student is to take notes in their book.
This would be a great study to do with a group
of students because of the discussion opportunities. If you do this study one-on-one, you
could use the questions as a family discussion
time. This is a study to benefit your high school
student or even you as a parent – it’s that good!

Life of Christ From the Gospel of John (9-12)
Jesus Christ is acknowledged to be the most
influential person to have walked this earth. In
fact, to know Him, to be like Him, is the goal
of earnest Christians everywhere. The foremost
means of attaining this goal is through studying and considering His life, His deeds, and
His teachings – in essence, His person. The
Gospel of John is the perfect account to use for
this purpose. John has considerable focus on
who Jesus is, while the other three Gospels are
more of an account of what He did. This study
works through John with the following objectives for students: to see His brilliance, to know
His compassion, to thrill at His courage and
power, to weep over His death, and to rejoice
in His resurrection.
This is accomplished
through a pairing of the student book and the
teacher’s manual, which go hand-in-hand for
a full, complete study of the person of Jesus.
The student book gives a textual introduction
for the section of John studied in each lesson
followed by a consumable Q&A section, a fillin-the-blank bullet list of notes that summarize
the lesson from the teacher’s manual, and a
“Digging Deeper” section of activities and indepth studies for students to complete. The
teacher’s manual contains the entire student
book in reduced and corrected format, and has
instructions, objectives, discussion points, and
teaching points for each lesson. The teacher’s
manual on CD-ROM contains what would be
considered the text of the course – as a companion to the Gospel of John, of course – so it
is required to complete the study. While this
study can be used at whatever speed best suits
the student, the teacher’s manual includes plans
for 3-, 4-, and 5-day-a-week, year-long schedules. Quizzes, unit tests, maps, reading lists,
and charts are also included on the teacher’s
manual CD in PDF format, as well as overhead
transparencies, and Quicktime and Powerpoint
slideshow presentations that cover all of the
teaching points from the course. Can be used
with any translation. – Zach

Christian Adventure (9-AD)
The Christian Adventure begins for your student as they do an in depth study of Pilgrim’s
Progress and take a walk with Christian, the
main character of the story, through the adventures of being a believer.
Although written as a 10th grade Bible study,
this can be used at the junior high level, with a
combined group 7-12, or even use it alongside
the book of Pilgrim’s Progress as a literature
study. Each chapter begins with a reading from
Pilgrim’s Progress (excerpt is included in the
book). There is a bit of work to be done by the
student before the lesson is taught in order for
them to get the most from the teaching/lecture
time. Charts and diagrams are found in the
student book to help them focus on the point of
the lesson and it should be filled in and studied
for the quiz which will be taken at the end of
each lesson. Application activities are included
to help students develop, think about, and apply
the principles from the lesson. Scripture passages are taken from the KJV, but students could
use other versions with little difficulty.
The content is broken down into 35 lessons
and the teacher manual CD-ROM includes
options for a 3, 4, or 5 day a week format.
Other items found on this CD-ROM in PDF.
files are lessons, lesson quizzes and answers,
unit tests and answers, a scripture memory program which includes 2 passages per lesson, and
small-format student pages with answers.
This meaty study is relevant to the obstacles
faced by young people today, and will prepare
them with scripture and understanding to face
life with confidence. ~ Donna

☼Inner Man (11-12)
The purpose of this study
is to develop character and
maturity in the “inner man”,
making the focus of this particular study to be who you
are rather than what you
do or what you look like on
the outside. Showing from
Scripture how righteousness is the result of the
Lord changing us, and how our actions should
be the result of inward purity, this study leads
us through effective spiritual leadership. Student
manual includes a complete copy of J. Oswald
Sanders’s Spiritual Leadership.
Consumable SC Student Manual contains
introductory reading assignments, charts/diagrams and outlines corresponding to the teacher’s lecture, inductive study questions completed independent of class time, steps to take
toward effective leadership (application questions), and a recommended reading list. The
Teacher Manual on CD contains 35 lessons,
weekly schedules for three-, four-, or five- day
per week Bible classes, learning objectives,
teaching strategies, optional scripture memorization plan, weekly quizzes and unit tests
(answer keys included), and reduced student

level students, adults desiring to develop leadership skills would benefit from this thorough
study. ~ Deanne

Bible
Bible Study Guide for All Ages (PK-12)
A very comprehensive and usable program
for gaining Bible knowledge. The program
consists of four units, each with 104 lessons.
Units are neither strictly chronological nor
strictly topical, but are devised to cover aspects
of the Old Testament and the New Testament,
while putting events in historical perspective.
The program uses a wide variety of methods to
help us remember the stories, including mapwork, drawing stick-figure pictures of the Bible
stories, review of previous lessons, and drill of
important facts. This course is designed to be
led by a teacher and is not self-instructional.
Lessons require little preparation time, since
the drill, review, scripture texts, explanation of
terms, questions, mapwork, timeline placement,
songs, memory verses, and prayer suggestions
are all on one page and story visuals are available for each lesson. However, as with any
lesson, preparation will make for a better presentation. It should be noted that this is a very
complete guide for your family Bible study and
the program can be done simply and thoroughly
from just these guides. While any version of the
Bible can be used with the Units, the Student
Pages use the vocabulary of the NIV.
Additional but extra-cost aids include Student
Pages, Teacher Guides/Answer Keys, the Wall
Maps and Time Line Packet, the Beginner
Time Line, Children’s A Cappella Song CD, the
Picture Names and Label Packets, and Teacher
Visuals.
Student Pages for the Beginner level (age
3-grade K), Primary (grades 1-2) Intermediate
(grades 3-4), and Advanced (grades 5-6) help
students visualize and interact with the lessons.
Each set of student pages contains 26 lessons,
which are similar in format between levels.
Beginner level activity sheets include memory
work, time line activities (which reference
the Beginner Time Line), activities to become
familiar with the structure of the Bible, pictorial representations of Bible stories, and Bible
study application. Primary, Intermediate, and
Advanced student pages include comprehension
activities, more advanced memory work, map
and timeline work (using the Wall Maps/Time
Line packet), activities for interacting with Bible
stories, and Bible lesson application. While the
use of the Wall Maps/Time Line and Beginner
Time Line is referenced in the material, small
time lines and maps are included with the lesson pages. The Primary Teacher Guide (spiralbound) is necessary in order to use the Primary
student pages because it provides lesson plans
along with the answer key. The Intermediate
and Advanced Teacher Keys provide answers
and suggestions for using the Wall Maps and
Time Line. While helpful, these would not be
absolutely necessary if the teacher was comfortable with determining the answers. Both the
Student Pages and the Teacher Keys have a very
minimal binding and it’s obvious the pages are
meant to be removed as they are used.
The CD consistently gets nice reviews from
customers, and contains all the music used in
the program. The mix of common children’s
songs with less popular songs and a variety of
action songs will provide a nice accompaniment
to your Bible study. Other maps, visuals, and
charts are helpful and add a nice visual component to your studies (see below.)

☼Beginner’s Bible Curriculum Kit: 30 Lessons (PK)
The Beginner’s Bible was the first Bible story
book that my children read by themselves. It
will always have a fond place in my heart for
that reason alone. But the brightly illustrated,
simply written book that tells the story of God’s
people and His Son, Jesus, is a favorite of many.
You can take that well-loved story book one
step further with this curriculum kit. Designed to
provide 30 preschool lessons based on the stories from the Beginner’s Bible, each video lesson covers three or so book lessons and utilizes
the same artwork but with dramatized audio.
You can either watch the video lessons or read
the stories from the Bible (or both). Additional
Resources in the Kit include PDF files for each
lesson. A teacher’s lesson sheet includes a
master supply list and an optional supply list,
step-by-step lesson plans, suggested activities,
and applications for the lesson. Color sheets and
a family page outline devotion activities for the
week. Included in this kit: The Beginner’s Bible
hardcover storybook Bible, The Beginner’s Bible
Curriculum DVD-ROM (28 animated stories,
2 review lessons, 30 printable lessons in PDF
format, and a Getting Started Guide). Although
technically designed as a preschool curriculum,
I could see this being used as a young family’s first homeschool Bible curriculum; it even
provides reading practice for emerging readers.

short, but not too short to begin laying a Bible
foundation. This program is written just for that
age group with with short, easy to implement
lessons. Bible Nuggets from A to Z has 34
lessons which are intended for one per week.
The Bible story is short, 3 to 4 paragraphs, with
a colorful illustration. Each lesson is a 2-page
spread and includes a short memory verse
(NKJV), 3 discussion questions, and a Bible truth
to be learned. Lessons 1 and 2 answer the questions “Who is Jesus” as he calms the storm and
feeds the five thousand, lessons 3 through 30
follow the alphabet with stories like A for Adam,
B for Best Buddies: Jonathan & David, and Z for
Zacchaeus. Lessons 14 and 25 take a break to
teach about Christmas and Easter, and lessons
31 through 34 teach stories about obedience
to parents, God’s love for children, and God’s
power and plan for His people. Parents are to
read the story to their child every day for one
week and complete crafts and activities found
in the complementary activity book. A very
short introduction explains how to use the program. Bible Nuggets from A to Z Activity Book
includes one activity per lesson and vary – coloring pages, cut and paste activities, drawing,
circle the objects, memorize the 12 disciples,
sequencing the story, tracing, and more. These
tempting little nuggets of Bible stories and truths
are a great introduction for your little ones –
easy to use, priced right, and solid. ~ Donna

☼Bible Treasures (K-2)
This series is wonderful for your young ones,
especially if you just want
simple, straightforward
Bible stories presented in
chronological order. Each
consumable (non-reproducible) book has 36 units
(one per week), each unit
is divided into 5 lessons,
and each lesson is one to two pages in length.
The first four lessons in each unit include a Bible
story that has been adapted from The Child’s
Story Bible by Catherine Vos. At the end of each
story, there are two questions about the story,
one thought question, one question from the
First Catechism, and a memory verse (this is the
same for the whole week. The questions about
the story can be answered with a word or two;
the thought question is for discussion with your
child. The fifth lesson in each unit is a ‘review’
lesson and includes a review of the memory
verse and Catechism questions from that week
along with a reinforcing activity – draw a picture of ways you can obey, retell the Bible story
in their own words, build a miniature tabernacle
of craft sticks, etc.
An answer key is included at the back of the
book for your convenience, and a colorful illustration is found at the beginning of each unit.
Scriptures are the New King James Version. ~

Studying God’s Word (K-7)
Struggling with Bible study or devotions at your
house? Over the years we’ve tried a variety of
approaches from several different publishers,
from felt scene stories to just using the Bible.
Studying God’s Word, from Christian Liberty
Press, takes the workbook approach. Books for
Kindergarten and 1st grade cover basic doctrine.
Beginning in 2nd grade, the student studies
the main events in the Old Testament, with an
emphasis on the application of God’s Word to
his life. The 3rd grade course concentrates on
the life of Christ. Grades 4 through 7 provide a
chronological study of the Bible. Grade 4 covers Genesis to Ruth, and grade 5 completes the
Old Testament. In grade 6, the student studies
the gospels, while grade 7 covers the Book of
Acts. In these lessons, background information
and an outline of the Bible chapters are listed.
A timeline is provided to put the lesson in perspective, as well as giving the important events
of that time period. Review questions are given
at the end of each lesson to make sure that the
main points have soaked in. All in all, Studying
God’s Word is a solid yet inexpensive Bible
course that can be easily implemented.

☼Journey Through the Bible (7-8)
Students raised in Christian homes are often
(and hopefully) surrounded by the stories of the
Bible. Yet, there comes a time when each needs
to move beyond listening/reading the stories to
reading scripture directly. This series – Journey
Through the Bible – is designed to provide
just enough structure and guidance that the
student not only benefits from the actual Bible
reading but has the opportunity to dig into and
understand the reading as well as to seek ways
to apply it to his life. A three-year series, each
course is divided into three units, each with 40
Bible reading-based lessons. Over the course of
the three years; reading on average four chapters a day, the student will read through the
Bible. The courses are based on the New King
James Version (the most widely read translation
in a version that is easier to read); while it is
possible to use other translations, some questions use the particular language and phrases
of the NKJV.
Each course includes both a Student Exercises
Workbook and a Textbook. The Workbook lists
the Bible reading expected for the day along
with ten questions from that reading that the
student is to answer. Occasionally, an outside
resource like a dictionary will be necessary to
answer a question. Also included in the onepage-per-day workbook exercises are three
questions that come from the Textbook. The
Answer Key provides all answers for the workbook questions. The Textbook provides short
lessons (usually less than one page) designed to
help the student understand what she is reading
- to bring clarity to the reading rather than teach
742
Bible
a particular theological perspective. Textbook
lessons coordinate with the reading passages
rather than the workbook lessons which means
there might be more than one workbook lesson
per textbook lesson. In the textbook, notable
vocabulary words are shown in bold. Likewise,
thought questions end most lessons and are
designed to help students think about the reading in a more critical manner and to apply it to
their own lives. A separate Test Packet provides
one test for every twenty lessons in the course
and covers material from both the Textbook and
the Workbook.
To give you an idea of how these course
components work together consider Lesson
105 which covers I Chronicles 19-21. Textual
content is one and a half columns concluding
with a single thought question. This coordinates to a single workbook page for the same
reading passage. However, by comparison, the
next reading passage (I Chronicles 22-29) and
textbook lesson correlates to three workbook
lessons, 106-108, and the student is encouraged
to re-read the textbook lesson alongside each
workbook lesson.
If you’re ready to have your students dig
deeper into the Scriptures and learn how to
study for themselves, this course is an excellent
starting point and will give you basic structure,
provide overall biblical coverage, and require
your child to read completely through the Bible.

Life of Christ (8-10)
From His birth to the day He ascended to
Heaven, this study follows the earthly ministry
of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Every
chapter is based on Scripture and follows
Christ’s life as well as the times in which He
lived here. The book explains relevant history and significant customs to provide a better
understanding of Jesus’ life and actions. The
study attempts to enrich our comprehension
of everything Christ did while on earth; the
parables He told, the miracles He performed,
and all of the other important things He accom-
plished. Maps placed throughout the book provide a visual reference of where Christ walked
and where specific events took place. Chapter
questions are included for reflection and discussion. From Christian Liberty Press. ~ Stephanie

Telling God’s Story (1-4)
As Christian parents we yearn to pass our faith
on to our children and know instinctively that
this is one of the most significant challenges
that we face. Taking our “job” seriously, we
often turn to well-known curriculum options
which tend to fall into one of several camps –
the Bible story approach, the character study
approach, the book-by-book approach, or an
apologetic approach – failing to realize that by
doing so we may miss the glorious “big picture.”
Besides just asking our children “How does this
apply to you?” we need to be asking the much
more important question – “What does this tell
us about God?”
We are on a journey – a growing-in-faith
journey – and we have the privilege of providing the love and care our children need as they
begin a similar journey. The Bible is not a book
primarily devoted to what we should or should
not do. Rather, it is devoted to telling us who
we are and how our behavior should reflect that
reality. The single most important biblical concept for living the Christian life is wisdom. In
their daily decision-making (just as in ours), our
children will need to be able to call upon the
wisdom they have been accumulating over the
years – wisdom based on the whole of scripture
and not on a random verse from here or there.
Telling God’s Story provides a roadmap for
teaching the Bible – thoughtfully and thoroughly
– to our children. The Parent’s Guide outlines
this approach and could stand on its own as that
roadmap, but it also serves as an introduction to
what will ultimately become a fully developed
curriculum – complete with scripted lessons,
activities, and lessons plans. The Parent’s Guide
describes three stages of teaching the Bible.
The primary emphasis of the elementary stage
(grades 1-4) should be on Jesus. Teaching children about the life and message of Jesus builds
a foundation that allows better understanding of
the broader biblical story. So what is covered
at this level? Jesus’ numerous acts of mercy
and compassion, the major episodes of Jesus’
life, and what it means to be His follower. The
middle grades (5th – 8th) are the perfect time to
place Jesus within the larger context of Scripture
and to look at the grand narrative as a whole.
The third stage (grades 9-12) involves interacting with the Bible within its historical context.
If this sounds a little like a classical pattern,
you would be correct. Telling God’s Story
provides a thorough grounding in the Gospel
Message during the grammar stage, encourages
critical thought and analysis as it investigates
the biblical narrative during the logic stage, and
gives rhetoric-stage students the opportunity to
understand both the history and implications of
the biblical story.
See page vi for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels.
Part Two of the Parent’s Guide provides an
introduction to the narrative pattern of the Bible
– that larger historical context previously mentioned. The author calls the biblical narrative
the “Five Acts of the Bible.” These are Creation
and the Fall, Abraham and Moses, David and the
Problem of Kingship, The Return from Babylon,
and, finally, Jesus: His birth, life, death, resurrection, and the story of His first followers.
We expect the complete K-12 scope and
sequence of this Bible curriculum to be fleshed
out over the coming years. Currently, Years
1-3 are available. While Year 1 is designated
a first grade curriculum, it seems meaty enough
to use anytime during grades 1-4 during this
interim period of curriculum development. In
the meantime, we’re assuming that (at least) the
first four years will follow the pattern we see
in Year 1: Meeting Jesus. The Instructor Text
& Teaching Guide (125 pgs, pb) provides the
textual lesson content for 36 lessons divided
into 8 units – Stories Jesus Told, Miracles Jesus
Did, Teachings of Jesus, Sermon on the Mount,
Jesus’ Early Life, Jesus’ Disciples, Opposition
to Jesus, and End of Jesus’ Life. Three supplemental lessons tell The Rest of the Story – the
King on Trial, Crucifixion, and Jesus is Alive!
Each lesson (2-3 pgs each) provides background
information (orienting the parent to the biblical
passage) and scripted lesson material which
includes reading and discussing a scripture passage. The Student Guide and Activity Pages
(405 pgs, pb) include a list of possible activities
to reinforce the text lesson. A wide variety with
a different selection for each lesson is provided.
Among the possibilities are art history (b/w art
reproductions included), music, crafts, history,
memory work, science, cooking and games.
For each project there is a list of materials
needed, easy-to-follow directions, and illustrations where applicable. All patterns or worksheets (well-done, by the way) are provided and
reproducible (for families). Coloring pages (also
well-done and reproducible) are provided for
each lesson with the assumption that the student
will be coloring while the parent/teacher is reading through the scripted lesson. Teacher prep
is very minimal – just become familiar with the
information and gather a few household-type
supplies. [There are master lists of materials
needed for all projects in the beginning of the
Guide.] Since the lesson material is designed
to be covered over a week’s time, lesson plans
are simple – read the lesson on the first day and
complete projects on the second and third days.
Since there are at least 4-5 projects for each lesson, instruction could be spread over 4-5 days if
preferred. This material could be easily adapted
to a classroom setting since there are both group
and one-on-one projects provided.

Bible Studies for Elementary Children (1-7)
Produced by Queen Homeschool Supplies,
this series of books is a solid, biblically-based
approach that will teach children what it means
to live as Christians with upright character.
This series has been designed with the intent
that children could complete the lessons on
their own, but both parents and children could
certainly work through the books together in
these twelve-week studies. It is recommended
that children use a King James Version Bible
and Noah Webster’s 1828 edition dictionary; in
addition, since the books are consumable, each
student should have his own copy of the chosen
studies. – John

☼Friends & Heroes DVDs
Each episode is presented through the eyes of
Mackey, a 14-year-old boy living in Alexandria,
Egypt 2000 years ago, and contains two thematic stories: one Old Testament and one New
Testament. What is special about Mackey is that
he believes in Jesus of Nazareth. Through his
many adventures, Mackey learns about trusting
God, doing what is right, forgiveness and much
more. Each DVD episode is approximately 25
minutes.

God's Great Covenant (3-6)
Stories abound in the Bible. In fact, the
stories all connect to give the entire message
that is so important. So, in order to make that
importance relevant to children, this curriculum
uses some of the stories found in the Bible to
reveal the faithfulness of God. There are four
titles in the series, two on the Old Testament
and two on the New Testament. The courses
are each designed to take one year to complete
at the elementary level. Each book contains 32
chapters (one per week for a full-year study) in
which kids will learn how the Old Testament
stories begin to point mankind toward the coming Savior in the New Testament. Chapters all
follow the same basic layout – lesson scope,
chapter theme, memory verse of the week, key
facts, things to remember, an explanation of
one of God’s characteristics, the two-plus page
story, the review worksheets, and the chapter
quiz. The stories and the questions are all written to the child, making it easy for them to use
on their own, while still being fun to use with
parents. Illustrations are used throughout and
there are several maps in the back if the book.
The chapters are divided into five themed units,
and the final chapter in each unit is intended
as a review – looking back over what has
been taught, and preparing students for what
is to come. The program definitely promotes
knowledge retention through its abundance of
activity worksheets and reviews. Old Testament
Book 1 covers from Genesis through Ruth,
and Book 2 covers Samuel through Malachi.
New Testament Book 1: The Gospels, builds a
foundation through a brief introduction to the
historical and political history of the 400 years
before Christ was born. Four Units then build
upon this foundation and take your child on a
delightful journey through the life of Jesus Christ
and God’s plan for His life, from prophecies of
his birth to the Ascension. NT Book 2 is a study
of the book of Acts, presenting it as adventure
that continues today with ongoing missions
work. Like the Old Testament books, there is a
variety of learning activities provided: memory
Bible
continued...
743
verses, stories, key facts, review worksheets and
quizzes. Primary Bible text is NIV. Each child
will need their own student book, as it is not
reproducible. Approx. 350 pgs. The teacher's
editions contain minimized versions of the student text, with answers provided and additional
teacher's notes to expand on the lessons.
Several supplemental items are available to
enhance your studies. MP3 Audio files on CD
contain all of the readings from the corresponding student book, read by Dr. Christopher
Perrin. Please note that these must be played
on a MP3-compatible CD player, on a computer, or an MP3 device. The Old Testament
Timeline and Map set corresponds to the Old
Testament Books 1 and 2, and includes a quality
timeline of OT events and six maps which bring
together the history and geography of the times.
The double-sided timeline offers a completed
timeline with all events and images shown on
one side, while on the reverse side, it provides
a blank timeline. Also included are images and
events (to be cut out) which gives older children
the opportunity to create a timeline of their
own. The timeline can be cut apart, expanding to 76”, or left intact for families with less
wall space. The full color maps measure 13”
x 19” and are printed on semi-glossy, durable
cardstock. Included are: Abraham’s Journey,
Israel’s Exodus, Kingdoms of Saul, David and
Solomon, the Twelve Tribes of Israel, the
Divided Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and the
Assyrian and Babylonian Empires. Clear and
uncluttered, you can have confidence in the
solid biblical grounding of this program. - Zach/

assignments, and references for other Scripture
on the same topic or teaching notes to reinforce the lessons learned. The end-of-the-week
activities, which were previously located in the
student books have been moved to the teacher's
manuals. These include geography and mapping, timeline exercises, discussion questions
based on the illustrations, drawing suggestions,
and memory verse review. The back of the
teacher's manual contains answers to the appendices of the student books as well as unit tests
for each group of five lessons.
Grade 3 focuses on the creation, the patriarchs and the exodus; students read Genesis,
most of Exodus, and parts of Numbers and
Deuteronomy. Grade 4 is also concentrated
in the Old Testament, mainly in the books of
Joshua, Judges, Ruth, I & II Samuel, and I &
II Kings, while students learn about the rise of
Israel and the prophets. Grade 5, covers much
of the New Testament as students study the
main topics of Jesus' early years, the crucifixion,
and the early church. Grade 6 offers students
a chronological survey of the Bible. This book
can be used as a review after Book III, or can be
used as a stand-alone survey study. Either way,
it will prepare your student for studying early
church history in junior high or high school.

☼Christian Studies Lesson Plans (3-6)
Depending on your definition of “lesson
plans,” these may seem more like a checklist
to you, but they do provide just that little bit of
structure that can assure you that you’re doing
what you’re supposed to be doing. A brief halfpage of teacher’s notes precede the weekly
checklists. These indicate how/when the teacher
should interject into the reading, how to handle
the comprehension questions, and the basics of
the map activities. Then for each week, there’s
a checklist for indicating completion of reading
the story, the workbook and memory verse,
and the quizzes, reviews, and tests. In typical
Memoria Press fashion, these are straight to the
point yet helpful. 7 pgs, comb-binding ~ Janice

☼Wars of the Jews (9-AD)
“There will not be left a
stone upon a stone.” Christ’s
prophesy might perplex
us or amaze us depending on how well we understand what happened in 70
A.D. when Jerusalem was
destroyed by the Romans.
Part of Memoria Press’
Classical Studies, Wars of the Jews is a short,
ten lesson study based on the first-person testimony of Josephus. A Jew who became a Roman
citizen and accompanied Titus’ army as they
encamped around Jerusalem, his account is eyeopening. The Book provides the Josephus text
that describes this event (translated by William
Whiston) – eight chapters from Book V and ten
chapters from Book VI of Josephus’ historical
accounts. Some related artwork and a thorough
set of helpful endnotes complete this little book
(141 pgs, pb.) The Student Guide divides the
readings into ten lessons (plus an ending review
lesson). Each lesson starts with a Facts to Know
section that identifies some of the mentioned
people and gives event times. Then follows
a set of Comprehension Questions (sentence
answers) and occasionally a vocabulary section
(define words used in selection). The review
lesson has sections for vocabulary; important
people, places, and things; Who said that?; and
comprehension questions. The Teacher Guide
is a replica of the student book with answers
included. 26 pgs, pb. ~ Janice

City of God Study Guide (10-12)
Augustine possessed one of the most brilliant
minds in the history of Western civilization. The
City of God is a monumental work in which the
author represents his view of two cities: the spiritual City of God and the Earthly City. Augustine
responds to the accusation that Christianity was
to blame for the fall of the Roman Empire.
Memoria Press breaks down this complicated
work of literature for parents and their students. Characters are laid out. Scenes are set.
Questions are answered. Quizzes are written.
Chapters are summarized. This is one of those
books that a parent may avoid teaching because
it is just too daunting of a task to take on. Let
this study guide help make the job easier! The
teacher book has all of the answers to the exercises and quizzes and is 312 pages. The student
book is about 150 pages, pb. Both study guide

☼Bible Telling (4-9)
We easily recognize the value of stories in
relaying our personal or family history but how
often do we stop to recognize that the majority
portion – about 75% - of the Bible is stories?
We’re accustomed to teaching our children
the Bible stories, but do we realize that we
should also be teaching them to tell the stories?
Missionaries will often spend months, maybe
years telling stories from the Bible before ever
presenting the gospel. They recognize the power
of the narrative “hook.” We should as well,
whether it’s in discipling our own children or
teaching them to disciple others.
The Bible Telling series teaches you to
tell Bible stories without memorizing them.
Different from the listening, discussing, or
analyzing approach of most Bible courses, this
one focuses on learning in order to tell them
to others. Clustering and Storyboarding are the
keys to learning the story well. The process
seems surprisingly simple – read, cluster, listen,
storyboard, listen again, tell, review, and then
tell some more. Practice will help you become
comfortable with the process.
Start by reading the scriptures and filling in the
blanks of a written narrative. A scripture crossword helps you become familiar with the facts
of the story. Then the student is encouraged to
“cluster” the main events of the story into three
groups, the idea being to become very familiar
with these clusters so that you internalize the
basic structure of the story. Workpages for each
story include space to “storyboard” – summarize
your clusters into words or pictures. The student
is constantly reminded to think about what they
learn about God from the story; what they learn
about people from the story; to identify their
favorite part of the story; to boil the story down
into a proverb (a succinct statement of the central truth); and to find a tie to the previous story.
Other activities for each story might include
constructing a banner or bumper sticker, mapwork, acting the story out or writing a ballad.
NT worktexts include a section on history and
customs for each story. The “main event,” of
course, is putting the story into your own words
and telling it to someone else – or better yet, a
number of someone elses. Everything leading up
to the telling is designed to help you “own” the
story – to make it truly yours.
Although the general process is the same, the
OT and NT materials are packaged differently.
The OT course provides four worktexts (about
120 pgs each) which walk the student through
the story-telling process with activities and quizzes. Each workbook covers nine stories and is
accompanied by an audio CD which provides
the author’s version of those nine stories. A
supplemental, instructional DVD gives both
wonderful visual examples of several of the
beginning stories as well as an instructional
“walk-through” on the process of creating a
storyboard. There is no answer key for the OT
worktexts. The NT material provides twelve
much smaller (about 30 pgs, stapled) unit worktexts that each cover three stories each plus
quizzes and review. There is a pull-out Unit
Test in the center of each and four answer keys
each covering three units. These are sold as a
13 book set. Supplemental NT material includes
a set of three DVDs which provide stories and
Bible
continued...
745
storyboarding instruction for each of the first
three units plus ideas for getting started and for
“owning” the entire process. There is also an
audio CD which includes those same stories in
audio form.
I love the premise of this program – training
our children to be tellers of Bible stories. While
the stories covered are what you would expect
to find in elementary level Bible courses, the
storytelling aspect of this program makes it
useful for middle school or even high school
students. At those levels, it would probably
be considered an interesting application of the
“speech” category. These skills would be useful for older students in ministry and missions
work as well as in training their own children.
Theoretically, the consumable worktexts could
be used as stand-alones, but the audio and DVD
companions add not only illustrative information but also further techniques for effective
story-telling. ~ Janice

Most Important Thing You’ll Ever Study (6-10)
OK, I will have to confess that lately I’ve
“treated the Bible like a box of fortune cookies – reach in, grab a handful at random, break
them open, and read the short writings inside.”
This revelation dawned on me as I started to
look over this series. The primary purpose of
Scripture is to reveal who God is and what He
is like. However, we also need to understand
the intention of the human authors and likewise
that it is also God’s Word to people in all times
and places. Lastly, we must have the help of
the Holy Spirit so that we are not just able to
explain biblical ideas but also to be moved to
love, worship and obey God. The shallowness
of the fortune cookie approach is painfully obvious, and I was struck by the beauty of treating
my Bible like the book it is – a book to be loved
and obeyed, and a book to be read and studied. Written by Starr Meade, author of Training
Hearts and Teaching Minds, this series provides
a user-friendly, empowering (not so overwhelming you’re afraid you’ll never get finished), and
systematic tool for such Bible study.
The Most Important Thing You’ll Ever Study is
an overview course of the entire Bible that can
be used either as a supplement to a read through
the entire Bible plan or as a stand alone survey
course. Bible passages to accomplish either
goal are icon-designated right in the worktext.
Although the general approach is chronological through first the OT and then the NT, there
are plenty of back-and-forth references along
the way. Chronological means that the Bible
history sections (Genesis through Chronicles;
746
Bible
Gospels & Acts) provide the framework and
the OT prophets and the NT epistles are woven
in at appropriate places. Although there are
not daily or even weekly lessons, there is a
systematic approach to each reading assignment: read, answer questions (both recall and
thought-provoking), and be tested (after one
or more reading assignments). The student (or
parent administrator) can pace himself, and time
needed to complete each assignment depend
on whether the student is reading completely
through the Bible or only the suggested study
passages.
Each worktext has around 200 pgs (actual
range: 186 – 227). There are two volumes for
the OT and two for the NT. Old Testament
poetry is covered in a 50 page section at the end
of Volume 2. For a high school student working at a one-credit pace (i.e. an hour per day),
I think both OT and NT could be completed
in one academic year, but there would be few
liabilities to slowing the pace and spreading it
out over two years. Volume 5 is the answer key
for all four volumes. ~ Janice

DEEPER ROOTS BIBLE CURRICULUM (6-12)
4 Discovery Series (6-9)
These are serious inductive Bible study courses
with a strong missions emphasis. The authors
believe that studying the Bible is the most
important subject to be done each day. Since
most of the common Bible stories are familiar
to students by this age, they have attempted to
put important but less well-known Bible reading in the lessons. Components of the program
include the teacher’s guide and the student
book. “Suggestions for Younger Children” books
are available for the first two books that provide
ideas for covering similar content with youngsters. You will also need a Bible, and the course
is designed so you can use your own or any
version you like.
Each book is divided into several meaty lessons
that focus on a specific topic, and span 10 or
more days of study each. Topics vary in each
book, from studying attributes of God in Book 1
to studying our identity as believers in Book 2 to
developing Christian habits in Book 3 and finally, learning about aspects of Christ's character
in Book 4. Topics have been carefully chosen
by the authors to represent the most important
or foundational ones for junior-high students to
understand, and are presented in logical order.
For instance, in Book 1, students study God's
power and then His creativity, so they can see
both of these attributes in the light of each other.
Text and discussion questions are provided in
both the teacher guide and student books. The
text is the Bible, with questions in the student
book providing the references to be read. The
amount of Bible reading required in a day would
generally amount to a chapter or two in total,
although verses might come from any book of
the Bible. Student books provide enough space
for answers to be written in. A Bible verse is
memorized with each lesson. Occasionally, the
day is devoted to some special project, such as a
writing assignment or skit. Study pages (answer
keys are provided) help students prepare for the
test, which is given on the last day of the lesson.
As previously mentioned, missions emphasis is
evident throughout the program. Each chapter
begins with information about a different people
group. Students pray for this people group daily
during the time it takes to complete the lesson.
Books are black-and-white and illustrated with
light-hearted line drawings. The Teacher Guide
lists some introductory and helpful teaching and
background notes, as well as answers to the
discussion questions. Suggestions for Younger
Children includes some of the line drawings
from the student book (enlarged) to color, and
suggestions of a Bible story to tell (not provided)
or an arts-and-crafts project to do. One story
suggestion and two project suggestions per lesson is the norm.
If you are looking for a good course to begin
the transition from Bible reading to more serious
Bible study for your junior high student, consider this one. More details on specific topics
covered in the individual books are provided
with each book below.
Discovering Our Amazing God - Book 1 (6-8)
Eight lessons are provided, each of which is
based on an attribute of God: wisdom, power,
creativity, love, holiness, faithfulness, justice,
and mercy. While this list is not comprehensive,
these eight have been selected as a good "base"
to start with. Related attributes are presented in
sequence, so students can see the relationship
between them (like power and creativity). Each
lesson is designed to take 10-12 days.

Discovering Who I Am in Christ - Book 2 (7-9)
This second book in the Discovery series examines the identities that we have as Christians,
including: our status as both sinners and saints;
that we are "new creations" in Christ; that God
is our Father; God loves us unconditionally;
we are "citizens of heaven" and yet sheep that
need a shepherd; that Jesus is our High Priest,
like the priests of the Old Testament were to the
people); recognizing God's actions and our own
in our daily walk, and our redemption is complete. Drawings, cartoons, and suggested activities intermingle with inductive Bible study to
help students grow spiritually and discover the
principles of walking with Christ on a momentby-moment basis.

Jesus Storybook Bible (PK-3)
This is a great book for introducing younger
children to the moving and powerful stories
from the Bible. In a storybook format, it takes
the reader through Genesis to Revelation, showing how the Bible is one big story about God
and His plan for the world. The stories are
paraphrased and written so young children can
understand them and what they mean. They are
surprisingly insightful and will captivate kids
while they learn more about God and become
familiar with Bible stories. Full-color pages feature illustrations of the stories, and the book is
great for reading out-loud or for slightly older
kids to read independently. Measures 6.5” x

From the same publisher as the storybook with
the same name, these are complete text hardback children’s Bibles in two different translations designed to provide parents with valuable
helps as they share the familiar Bible stories and
basic Christian concepts with their children. The
Bible text is interspersed with inserts that have
full-color pictures and familiar Bible stories in

listeners. Although similar in size and format,
there are a few differences between the two

Children’s Favorite Bible Stories (2-5)
Written for older elementary and middle
school students, this book uses the International
Children’s Bible to provide an authentic retelling of God’s message. Beginning with Genesis
and ending with the new heaven and Earth
described in Revelation, students will learn
about the character and glory of God. Each of
the stories begins with a short introduction and
concludes with a concise prayer. Along with
the stories are “Going Deeper” activities which
incorporates a scriptural reading and “Do it”
activity to reinforce the lesson. Let me share
from “The Good Samaritan” from Luke 10:2537. After the one page reading, the prayer focus
is thankfulness for blessings we have and for
open eyes to see the needs around us. In the
Going Deeper section, children are encouraged
to read Matthew 5: 43-48 and answer the question “How can you be a good neighbor?” The
Do It activity is to “think of something you can
do to help a ‘neighbor’ in need. Collect cans of
food for the hungry or shampoo and soap for the
homeless shelter.” An abundance of graphics
and a comprehensive index makes this a wonderful resource for pleasure reading or family
read aloud. 410 pgs, hc. ~Deanne

The Action Bible (5-10)
As parents, we want our children to be
excited and eager to dive into the original and
real-action heroes found in the Bible. Let’s be
honest, how many of our young people think
of God as an Action Hero? Young people are
enthralled when Superman blows a car over
with his breath, yet when you stop to consider
God created the whole universe with his breath,
who is the real Super Hero? Written to communicate Biblical Truth clearly and forcefully,
the Action Bible contains over 200 fast-paced
narratives in chronological order, making it easy
to follow the historical flow of the Bible. Old
Testament covers creation, fathers of the faith,
the life of Joseph, Moses, Joshua, God’s Judges,
the Kings, the Prophets, and the Exiles, covering
Genesis 1 through Malachi and including a brief
look at the four hundred years between the OT
and NT. The New Testament encompasses the
birth and ministry of Jesus, Jesus' Final Days, the
birth of the Church, the life of Paul and the final
days of Revelation. Graphically illustrated. 750

☼New Living Translation: Wayfinding Bible
(PK-AD)
Have you ever decided that you were going
to read the Bible, start to finish, only to be sidetracked because the task seemed so daunting?
The Wayfinding Bible offers you alternatives to
help you navigate through portions of Scripture.
This Bible is the New Living Translation and
offers you three different routes – flyover route,
direct route, and scenic route. The flyover route
is divided into 54 readings to help you get a
chronological overview of the Bible. The direct
route divides the readings into 215 sessions
that help you get a complete perspective on the
entire Bible and how it fits together (in less than
a year). The scenic route is divided into 386
readings that will take you on a journey through
passages that may or may not be familiar. Each
route is marked with colored arrows at the top of
the pages – blue for the flyover route, green for
the direct route, and orange for the scenic route.
Those arrows will tell the reader if they should
continue reading on the next page (straight
arrow), skip pages (arrow curved up), jump to
a different book (dotted curved arrow), or go
backward to read in a previous passage (arrow
curved back).
Along the way, readers will find written introductions for each book, historical markers that
emphasize specific locations, scenic overlooks
that will also help the reader understand the
history and people of the Bible, and Side Trips
that highlight passages on certain topics. Getting
Your Bearings are found in 8 different places
of the Bible to help you look back and look at
where you are going next. Photos, maps, illustrations, and a timeline will help you keep on
track as you travel through the Bible. An itinerary is found at the back of the Bible for each
route, which allows you to keep track of your
readings (stops) along the way. A fourth route
is found at the very back of this Bible – “ThruHike.” It takes you chronologically through
every word of this Bible. This is the most intense
of the reading schedules and you can check off

as you read through your journey.
Choose the route that fits your schedule and
get familiar with the flow of the Bible. Enjoy
the journey as you learn what God’s Word has
to offer. Read through as a family or read for
personal devotion time – but get started finding
your way through the Bible. pb. ~ Donna

Homeschool Mom’s Bible (AD)
Making the decision to homeschool our children is often one of the most complex decisions
we make. Although much has changed since I
began homeschooling nearly 20 years ago, often
times there is still a sense of “going it alone” or
even a misplaced sense of reproach that comes
from the multitude of ‘working moms’ resources. Prepare to have your spirits lifted and your
encouragement cup overfilled! These insightful
Bibles written by and for the homeschool mom
is sure to encourage and edify you in your calling. Within the pages of the Bibles, you will find
365 daily readings designed to inspire and personally encourage the heart of the homeschooling mother. Each reading begins with a Scripture
reference, followed by the short devotional and
a guided prayer. Devotional readings are a compilation of daily email devotions entitled Daily

CHILDREN’S BIBLE STORIES
Books
Good Morning, God (PK-K)
Good Morning, God tells the story of a fouryear-old boy as he goes through a week with his
family. Through this simple story children are
reminded of their parents love for them and the
ways they teach them throughout the day. Each
day presented in the story provides fresh opportunities for living out Deuteronomy 6:6-7 as
every morning is greeted with a “Good Morning,
God” thought and ends with a bedtime prayer.
This charming children’s book introduces children to the simple ways we can worship God
daily by thinking about Him from sunrise to sunset and inspires them to enjoy God throughout
their day. At the end of the story are discussion
questions and activities that correspond to the
specific day’s events, making this an effective
book for family devotions and discipleship. For
example, on Friday, children are reminded their
parents teach them when they are sitting and
when they are standing and especially when
they are listening. The corresponding discussion questions for Friday reflect on what we
like to think about (with corresponding verse of
Philippians 4:8), and discussion of examples of
noble thoughts, praiseworthy thoughts and pure
thoughts. Children are then asked to draw an
ear and discuss why God gave us ears, and if
they prefer to listen to songs or stories as well as
what things they should not listen to. The final
Bible

question focuses on the ways Jesus loves them.
Suggestions for how to use the story book for
family discipleship are included making this a
delightful introduction to the ways of God for
young children. Scriptures from the NIV (1984)
Bible. Beautifully illustrated. 42 pgs, hc. An
optional coloring book provides black and white
illustrations that correspond to the pictures in
the text giving parents a fun way to reinforce the
concepts taught. ~ Deanne

Jesse Tree (PK-12)
If you haven’t yet done the Jesse Tree, I highly
recommend it. You can do this Biblical study
about godly characters (most in the lineage of
Jesus) at any time, but it’s particularly effective in the month of December, culminating
with the celebration of Jesus’ birth. The first of
20 lessons explains the Jesse Tree, referring to
Isaiah 11:1. Subsequent lessons are chronological, beginning with God the Father, then Adam,
and continuing through the years until the birth
of the Messiah. Each contains a meditation,
the retelling of a Bible story or reading from a
Bible story book (for younger children), and a
Bible study, complete with referenced verses
and questions. Instructions are included for
making an ornament to reinforce each lesson.
These can be hung on a branch, small evergreen, wreath, or Christmas tree. We found a
tree-shaped branch and rooted it in a pot with
gravel for our “Jesse tree” - then decorated it
with the ornaments made during the study. The
craft projects symbolize the people or event
studied in each lesson and their construction
was a highlight of the study for my children as
well as a continuing reminder of the material.
I confess to embellishing several of the craft
ideas - I’m downright dangerous when armed
with a needle and thread or glue gun! But, for
those less inclined, simpler ornaments can be
substituted for the crafts by copying and coloring the patterns included. We enjoyed ours for
years, with a new crop of ornaments each year!

100 Bible Stories, 100 Bible Songs (PK-2)
“Read it! Sing it! Learn it!” This 202 page,
hardcover book is full of 100 paraphrased Bible
stories for you to read to your children. Each

depicting the main parts of the story and a Bible
truth on the right-hand page. The 100 kidfriendly stories go from Genesis to Revelation,
making sure to introduce your children to many
of the key characters and important lessons that
the Bible has. The two CDs contain over two
hours of quality musical entertainment. The
songs are all new arrangements of familiar and
not-so-familiar songs. Some you might know
and love, like: “Father Abraham,” “Joshua
Fit the Battle of Jericho,” “Climb Sunshine
Mountain,” “Away in a Manger,” “I Will Make
You Fishers of Men,” and “Sing Hosanna.” A

True Account of Adam & Eve (3-AD)
This beautiful hardback book is the perfect
tool to walk your children through the history
of Adam and Eve and how their sin turned a
perfect world into the death and decay we
see today. Full-page illustrations help bring to
life details of the Garden of Eden, the fall into
sin, and the consequences that have followed.
One of the best things is that a focus is placed
on our personal sin natures that came from the
first Adam, and how we can find redemption
by trusting in the perfect sacrifice made by the
last Adam, Jesus Christ. So many answers to
questions your children have can be reinforced
through this book, including why we die, why
we wear clothes, what our purpose is, and how
our lives can be restored to walk with God. By

book which Ken Ham says is, "…a fantastic

for non-Christians to challenge them concerning

☼D.L. Moody’s Child Stories (4-AD)
Children love stories; that’s a
fact! What better way to help
instill biblical truths in their
impressionable minds than to
let them read (or listen to) stories that share those truths? First
published in 1896, this collection of 113 stories taken from
D.L. Moody’s sermons all have one thing in
common: children are at the forefront. Most of
the stories are very short—some even less than
a page long—but they are full of spiritual value.
Some, like Hold Up Your Light and The Lost
Kiss, deal with matters of character and morals
or the Christian life. Others stress the importance of coming to Jesus Christ for salvation or
being a witness for Him, like The Orange Boy
and A Boy’s Victory. Handsomely illustrated in
the classic style of the late 19th century, this
volume is perfectly suited to become one of
your children’s favorite bedtime storybooks.

☼Bible KidVentures Old Testament Stories
(3-9)
Growing up, if I was given historical fiction
presented in clear language for my age level, I
was hooked in a matter of minutes. KidVentures
presents four Bible stories in this same manner.
Trouble Times Ten features an Israelite boy
named Ben who is afraid of water. When Moses
tells his family that they need to cross the Red
Sea to freedom, will he be able to trust God or
will he be left behind? Ruled Out tells the story
of Ethan who lives with the people who made
it out of Egypt. Moses has been up on Mount
Sinai for a while, and the people are starting to
change, which scares Ethan. Galen and Goliath
tells the story of Galen, a young Philistine who
is told to kill a young boy to prove his bravery
and loyalty. Trouble comes when Galen must
decide if he wants to honor the giant Goliath or
the God of the Israelites. The Prophet’s Kid tells
the story of Ezra, who just wants to have fun.
He goes to a meeting he isn’t allowed to attend,
which lands him in a heap of trouble that even
causes someone’s life to be at risk!
All these stories are bound into a 313-page
softcover book that includes a parent/teacher
guide filled with discussion questions, background information, and learning activities.
Great for Bible studies or recreational reading.

Bible Story Builders Stickers (PK-3)
Looking for an easy and inexpensive way to
reinforce Bible stories or add some hands-on
fun to Bible lessons? These colorful sticker
packs make for an easy craft project. Each pack
includes 6 identical sticker sheets so they’re
good for 6 kids (or 1 who wants to use a lot of
the same stickers). The tops of the sticker sheet
have a larger scene sticker measuring 4.5” x 3”,
which displays a full-color background that the
story takes place in. Then the bottom of each
sheet includes 5-6 stickers of characters or props
that you can place in this scene to tell the story.
The background itself is a sticker so you can
decorate a sheet of paper with all the stickers,
or just add the character stickers to the scene
on the sheet. Children will have fun creating
these scenes as they learn about popular Bible
stories. Stickers are not repositionable or reusable. ~ Rachel

☼Bible-Story Doodles: Favorite Scenes to
Complete and Create (2-9)
Here’s a really fun way to spruce up Bible
time! Give Samson a haircut, design Joseph’s
coat of many colors, and fill the table with food
for Jesus and his disciples. My older girls and I
are slowly reading through the Bible one chapter at a time, and this was a good find last year
for the occasional entertaining activity in their
workbox when doodles lined up with chapters
we read! Some doodles take up both facing
pages while others are just one page. Each
doodle has full-color illustrations to start with,
a scroll with the corresponding Bible chapter at
the top, an excerpt of the verse that serves as the
basis for the doodle, and short directions. Many
of the doodles are what you would expect to
find (baby Moses in a basket, animals on Noah’s
ark), while others are surprises (for II Samuel 18,
you draw Absalom with his hair caught on a tree
branch). 100 doodles total on 160 thick pages,
about 2/3 from the Old Testament and the other
1/3 predominantly drawing from the gospels of
Matthew and Luke. Compared to #50786, The
Bible Doodle Book, this one is color while the
other is black and white, and the other also
holds 100 stickers. There is some overlap but
many unique doodles as well. Both are great
fun! – Steph

Hands-On History Activity Pak Bible CDs (3-8)
If you’re looking for a fun, hands-on way to
help your young students learn Bible stories and
lessons, you should check out these CDs. Since
they’re composed of PDF files, the CDs are both
Windows and Mac compatible and just require
Acrobat Reader to work. Each CD has pictures,
text boxes, illustrated creative writing boxes,
Bible verses, and more to print out and create
15 lapbooks. There’s a wide range of topics covered (see individual descriptions), and creating
the lapbooks themselves will help kids remember the Bible stories and the lessons learned.
All the print-outs are in black and white, so
kids will get the added bonus of coloring and
designing everything as they see fit. Each of
the 15 lapbooks on each CD tells a Bible story
or has one central theme to focus on. Kids are
essentially creating a poster of a specific story/
theme, with fold-outs, mini-books, pictures,
personal research, and more that add plenty
of visual appeal. The CD contains directions
for each project, with all the printable masters
needed, and a gallery of what the finished
projects should look like. Besides masters for
the lapbooks, each CD includes a newspaper
project composed of a several-page newspaper
scroll with titled articles for students to write
about and fun advertisements to fill in and illustrate. Whether you’re studying the New or Old
Testament, lapbooking provides a great way to
get students personally invested in the material.
Easy to use, and you can print out as many items
as you need for individual family use. ~ Rachel

☼You Can Draw Bible Stories for Kids (2-6)
Bring Bible stories to life by cartooning through
them, honing drawing skills while you illustrate
what you read. This fun little book contains
eighteen Bible stories, from both the Old and
New Testaments. You’ll start with Adam and
Eve and end with the Resurrection. Each chapter
begins with a “big idea” then starts into a retelling of the story. There are pauses in the story
where the child is asked to draw a person, add
to an existing drawing, or sketch some scenery.
For example, in The Exodus, readers begin by
following a step-by-step sequence to draw both
Pharaoh and Moses. The story begins, and then
there is a scene illustrated from Pharaoh’s throne
room, and the reader is asked to add some
snakes to the ground. Then we read about the
plagues, the wandering in the wilderness, and
then the reader finishes the story by drawing a
scene of Moses parting the Red Sea. Because
the drawings are very cartoon-like, they can be
sketched quickly as you read through the chapter. It’s a nice way to keep active kids engaged
during Bible time without spending time drawing an elaborate scene for each story. The book
is in small, horizontal format, and you will
likely be drawing right in the book, so you may
need a couple of copies if using with several
children. ~Sara

help the message hit home. This silver and

Salvation, Breastplate of Righteousness, Belt of
Truth, Spirit-of-the-Word Sword, Shield of Faith,

Everything is made out of sturdy, safe plastic

Performer cards require acting or pantomime
skills. Word Worm cards have spelling and

short answer, true/false). If your team successfully completes an activity, you roll the die and
move along the game board to the next color
indicated on the die. The first team to reach the

board unfolds into 3 sizes so you can select

☼Resurrection Eggs (20th Anniversary Edition)
(PK-AD)
As someone who was homeschooled, I fondly
recall my mother turning anything and everything into a teaching moment, and an Easter
egg hunt is no exception. I remember using a
much earlier set of Resurrection Eggs to learn
the Easter story in a very fun, practical, and
hands-on way. Each of the 12 plastic eggs contains a small object that pertains to a part of the
Easter story, such as some small silver coins, a
cross made of dulled nails, or a figure of praying
hands. Simply open the egg, look at the object,
then read the relevant scripture and short devotional in the provided instruction book, written
in both English and Spanish.
The eggs can be used in two different ways.
Either set aside some time to go through an egg
every day leading up to the holiday, or have
an indoor egg hunt with a lesson afterwards!
Two sheets of stickers show the same objects,
great for a craft project or lesson. Everything fits
perfectly into a special plastic egg carton to be
tucked away safely for next Easter. – Laura

My ABC Bible Verses from the Psalms (PK-5)
With a passion to help children discover Jesus in
all of the Scriptures, Susan and Richie Hunt have
developed another beloved, hard-cover book
to introduce children to praising God through
the Psalms and point them to Jesus. This book
follows the same format as their first book, My
ABC Bible Verses, and centers on the same
family characters. Each reading begins with the
Psalms verse to be memorized, followed by a
brief story illuminating the verse and a New
Testament connection. “Let’s Talk” and “Let’s
Pray” sections conclude the reading to encourage understanding and application of what has
been learned. For example, the first lesson, A,
is based on Psalm 29:2: Ascribe to the Lord the
Glory due His Name. (ESV) The story elaborates
on what it means to “ascribe to the Lord” and the
New Testament connection is John 1:14, “And
the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only
Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” The
Let’s Talk then focuses on story recall and the
meanings of ascribe and glory. Let’s Pray invites
us to “Thank God that Jesus became a man and
showed us God’s glory.” Warm and inviting illustrations. 54 pgs, hc. ~ Deanne

Awesome Bible Verses Every Kid Should Know (2-6)
Everyone needs to be well-versed in the Word
of God! This book pulls Bible verses together
for 34 specific themes, like Creation, the Ten
Commandments, discipline, and guarding your
mind. Each theme is divided into several sections that help explain the topic and verses
being discussed. These sections begin with the
verses themselves and an introduction. Then
they go into devotionals, with the following topics for each verse: “What I Think,” “What God
Wants Me to Know,” “Look at It This Way,” and
a prayer. For instance, on the theme of anger,
the book looks at Proverbs 22:24-25, 29:22;
Ephesians 4:26-27; and James 1:19-20. The
introduction speaks of how anger is a normal
human emotion, but explains that it can lead
to sin. Some common thoughts about anger are
shared. Aspects of anger are discussed, including what it does in our lives and how it can
be controlled. A story illustrates the danger of
directing fleshly anger at other people. Finishing
out the study is a prayer for God to help learning how to control anger and to show kindness
to others. Written by Rebecca Lutzer (wife of
Moody Church pastor Erwin Lutzer), this book
can be a welcome addition to your family’s
devotional repertoire. 111 pgs, pb.

Bible memorization on your “to do” list? With
a focus on young children, this inexpensive
little book provides both well-chosen verses (in
KJV, NIV, and NLT) and some background and
devotional information that will help keep you
motivated. There are 52 verses (one per week),
from both old and new testaments. Included
with each verse is brief “about this verse” information, a memorization guideline (something
that will help you remember), learning tip, and
a section on “going deeper.” That “to do” item
just became “do-able.”

☼Scripture Memory System (8-AD)
A workbook for scripture memorization? Yes,
it does seem a bit unusual, but wait until you
begin to understand this program and you will
see the benefits. According to the author, “the
goal is to know Christ and to let Him rule your
heart.” Scripture memorization is a means to that
end and these workbooks provide the plan for
a multi-sensory method of writing God’s word
on our hearts – whole books of the Bible, one
passage at a time. Dividing the book or passage
into a number of weekly segments (Galatians –
33; Philippians – 23; Psalms for Praying – 24;
Sermon on the Mount – 23), the books each
represent a significant chunk of time.
There is an overall emphasis on covering
your memorization efforts in daily prayer. The
lessons are multi-sensory, encouraging visual
(reading the passage), auditory (hearing as you
read it out loud), and kinetic (writing it out)
engagement as well as repetition. Although the
student is encouraged to study the passage and
seek to understand it, the author also recognizes
that understanding will increase as the passage
is recited and reviewed and the total book is
learned in context. The particular – even peculiar – task of filling in the blanks of a partially
provided passage engages the mind in an active
way and aids both in retention and understanding. The pace can be either slowed down or
speeded up and the author suggests ways of
doing so.
Weekly lessons follow a consistent path:
• Day 1 – read passage once, study it, read two
more times, copy it
• Day 2 – read passage three times, copy it, fill
in missing words (about ¼ of the passage)
• Day 3 – read passage once, identify key
words, read two more times, copy it, fill in missing words (about ½ of the passage)
• Day 4 – read passage three times, copy it, fill
in missing words (about ¾ of the passage)
• Day 5 – recite
• Review
The workbooks provide everything you need
for learning and reviewing the passage: The
weekly passages, daily lessons with lined space
to copy the passage, and fill-in-the-blank passages for the various days.
If you and your student are ready to get serious about Bible memorization, this is a wellorganized, systematic approach. It gives you a
plan. Currently, the books are only available in
the King James Version. Books range from 202

Truth Tats (PK-AD)
I’ve seen scripture memorization songs, charts,
flashcards and programs. But I’ve never seen
anything like these! Yes, you guessed it – Truth
Tats are temporary, removable tattoos that
you apply to your hand, wrist or anywhere
else you’ll see it throughout the day. As you
go about your business, you can’t help but
constantly read and reflect on the verse, and
there’s always the possibility that someone else
will notice your “tat” ask you about it, opening the possibility of sharing your faith with
others. The pack is designed for the whole
family to use together over a 13-week period
and includes a devotional booklet and sheets
of temporary tattoos in four different styles per
verse (yes, larger families will need two packs
but at under $5 each, it’s affordable!). The
tattoos have thoughtfully been designed in four
different styles, intended to appeal to different
ages. One is plain black text, one is “tribal-like”
calligraphy, and the other two are designed for
youth appeal, one with more boyish design
elements (like medieval crests/scrolls) and one
with floral and nature elements that will likely
appeal more to girls. Each week’s devotion
begins with the verse (all three translations are
provided in the booklet), then continues with a
devotional reading. At the end of the devotion,
everyone applies their tattoo, and proceeds to
memorize and reflect on its meaning throughout
the week. At the end of the week you get back
together, recite your verses by heart, and maybe
record some thoughts on what the verse means
to you and how you applied it during the week.
Available in two translations: NLT and HCSB

Scripture Memory Game (K-AD)
Learning Scripture has never been more fun!
This simple game for two or more players/teams
allows children (and parents!) to show their
knowledge of Scripture. After placing the stack
of cards upside down, the first player decides
if they want to answer an easy or hard question. The other player then reads the verse with
missing words and awaits the answer. Here is
an example of the questions included: Easy,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the
skies proclaim the work of his _____(Psalm
19:1)” Hard: “But the fruit of the spirit is
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness,
_________ (Galatians 5:22-23).” Answers are
provided, although you may choose to keep
a Bible handy for extra practice in looking up
verses. An excellent way to reinforce Scripture
learning for homeschool or Sunday School
classrooms. Contains 50 glossy, color-coded
cards, each containing two Scripture verses from

Westminster Shorter Catechism with Cartoons
(7-AD)
The Shorter Catechism is often used to teach
younger children Christian truths. However, it
can seem pretty dry at times going through all
107 questions and answers the way they are
printed in some publications. Here is that same
Shorter Catechism in cartoon form - that's not
comic book form, but cartoon form. Cartoon
pictures are used to illustrate the points of the
Qs & As, the Bible verses, and to expand the
explanations of certain terms and phrases used
in the Qs & As. The actual wording has not
been changed from the original catechism, but
the explanations are already in fairly simple
language so even children can read and understand them. If children need to visualize what
they are learning, then these books will come
in handy. The first volume contains the first 38
questions from the Catechism. ~ Zach

Route 66: A Trip Through 66 Books of the
Bible (2-5)
Roaming around the country to various homeschooling conventions, I’ve spent my share of
time on historic Route 66. However, I’ve never
seen the theme of Route 66 used in such a fun
and productive way. Oftentimes Sunday School
and Bible classes get in a rut of telling the same
basic stories and doing the same activities over
and over again. There’s no danger of that when
using this fun theme, because lessons and activities are provided for every book in the Bible.
Students learn about each book (author, setting,
etc.), as well as important stories and lessons
within them. The book seems intended to be
used in a Sunday school setting, with lessons
divided into three 12-week units, but it could
easily be used for a Bible class with just a student or two, or each activity page could also
stand alone and be used to supplement other
materials. Each lesson begins with a travel guide
for teachers, which includes an overview of
the featured book, key verses and stories in the
featured book, warm-up questions, and ideas
and suggestions to help with lesson planning.
The lessons can require fairly small amounts
of prep work, or you can go all out with the
Route 66 theme; the material is pretty flexible.
Three reproducible activity pages are included
in each lesson, based on that particular lesson’s
book of the Bible. Activities can be completed
with pencil or markers and include things like
crosswords, word searches, hidden pictures,
fill in the blanks, short-answer questions, and
more. Fuel Up pages have short answer questions challenging students to read specific verses
in the Bible to find the answers. Review pages
(or Remember Where We’ve Been? sections)
are provided at the end of each unit, which
offer cumulative review questions for students to
answer alone or in groups. The Route 66 theme
helps students feel like they’re really going on an
adventure as they work their way through the 66
books of the Bible. There are even instructions
and reproducible pages for making a Souvenir
Scrapbook, which is a creative and fun way to
keep track of what they learn. If you’re looking
for a fun way to educate your child or Sunday
School group on each book of the Bible as well
as the author, era, purpose, key verse, and the
main characters and stories of each book, you
should definitely take a look at this book. With
all of the different components, your students
are sure to get a solid overview of the Bible. By

Balancing the Sword (7-AD)
Things without structure have a way of failing
at the most inopportune times. Things without
structure can tend to languish behind in the forgotten world of “I’ll get to it when I have time.”
One of the most helpful and uplifting things for a
Christian is to have a steady structure for spending time in God’s Word – which is Life itself.
Balancing the Sword is a meticulous study of
the Bible, designed to give its users a comprehensive working knowledge of what the Bible
actually says. Each volume of this two-volume
set covers every chapter of all 66 books in the
Bible, though each set of questions is different.
With over 7,000 questions in all, the average
verse to question ratio is 2.7. There are also
54,000 cross references, over 1,000 quotes from
famous people who acknowledge the Bible’s
greatness, and over 1,000 illustrations, literal
depictions, charts, and maps. The answers to
all the questions are actually included, and
space is provided on every page to make notes
of things that occur to the reader along the way.
The set now comes with the online Balancing
the Sword Reading Planner software that will
help you customize a reading schedule all your
own. The software's flexibility is impressive and
is compatible with a range of internet browsers,
including Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome and
Opera. The code for accessing the software is
included with the book set (this replaces the CD
version of the software that used to be bundled
with the set). The introduction in the books
includes ideas and tips for getting the most from
this comprehensive and dedicated Bible study
program. Each volume is 589 pgs, hc. - Zach

Dallas High Schools Bible Study Course (9+)
Can you believe that as recently as the
early 1950s, the National Education Association
encouraged Bible reading in public schools?
Times have changed. This course was the one
used in the Dallas, Texas, public schools for
several decades. The books are divided into lessons based on some common theme; a lesson,
depending on the amount of reading required,
may take one to several days. Bible references
for reading are listed by subtopic. References
list chapter and verses to be read, so any version of the Bible will work with this course.
After the reading selections, comprehension
questions ensure that the student remembers
and understands what is read. A memory verse
is included in each lesson; this is given in the
King James Version, so you might want to
substitute the version that you normally use for
this. Follow-up exercises also include locating
places on a map (maps included are limited,
so you will want another source), giving definitions of terms (most of which are included in the
glossary), and identifying principal characters
in the readings. Various and sundry information is given in the appendix. All in all, these
inexpensive books provide an excellent in-depth
study of the entire Bible suitable for individuals
or groups of youth or adults.

Survey of the Bible (9-AD)
Contained within this wonderful resource is
a systematic study of the Word of God. This
“treasury of Bible information” is designed
to reach all classes of people whether their
knowledge of the Bible is meager or great. The
systematic nature of this book has you not just
look at the individual stories, books, or chapters, but at the Bible as a whole. This type of
study is necessary if you desire to be able to
interpret the Bible in an accurate fashion and
fully understand the Bible in its entirety. This
survey of the Bible is written by a conservative
theologian, William Hendriksen, who holds the
position that the Scripture is the infallible Word
of God, inspired from beginning to end by the
Holy Spirit. It is also important to note that this
book is not a book on Bible interpretation (a.k.a
hermeneutics), Bible history, or an introduction
to the Old and/or New Testament. Instead,
this book’s main goal is to create interest as it
provides a “survey” of both the Old and New
Testaments. This book is designed as a springboard for these related Bible studies that you
may conduct in the future.
Part One gives you many facts about the Bible,
then provides you with brief instruction on how
to study and interpret the Bible. Part Two offers
an overview of Bible history with the help of
seven chronological charts. Then you are given
an introduction to the sixty-six books of the
Bible as you venture into Part Three. These sixty-six books are divided into twenty-one groups
covered in chronological order beginning with
the law all the way through the prophets,
epistles, and revelation. As Hendriksen briefly
covers each book of the Bible you are given a
brief summary of the book, Bible references and
cross references, charts, diagrams, maps, blackand-white photographs, and helpful insights
regarding history and culture. This comprehensive volume also contains study questions for
each chapter, section by section, and it is fully
indexed. This paperback, 497-page resource
uses an educational approach that is sure to
increase your understanding of each Bible book
and its significance. A great addition to your
Christian library! – elise

Draw to Learn Series (PK-AD)
Looking at this series reminded me of Bible
study when my siblings and I were younger.
For every chapter of the Bible we read, we’d
draw a picture and put it in a binder. Boy,
were they fun to go back and look at after a few
years! This series from Notgrass takes that same
concept, and elaborates on it somewhat, giving drawing instructions to accompany specific
Bible verses. Each page contains a scripture
reference at the top, a summary idea from the
scripture, and a large empty frame with instructions underneath. Students begin by reading
the referenced scripture, thinking about it,
then drawing a picture following the instructions beneath the frame. The pictures are sure
to serve as a great reminder to students in the
future about the verses and their meaning. For
example, my sample is for the Book of Proverbs,
and several of the assignments are: drawing a
gorgeous crown for Proverbs 4:7-9, drawing a
person who has been on a long search and has
finally found treasure for Proverbs 2:1-5 and
drawing highway signs for Proverbs 15: 18-21.
Each volume in the series contains 150 lessons,
and is designed to complete throughout the
school year. Because the lessons include drawing practice, the authors recommend taking this
portion seriously, using drawing pencils and a
good set of colored pencils. Advice for drawing
the best possible pictures and suggestions for
expanding the Bible study into a unit study are
included in the introduction. – Jess

Hidden Treasures in Philippians (3-8)
This inductive Bible study of Philippians aims
to get children digging their way through the
Scripture for themselves. Much more of a
guide-book than a "this is what it says, this is
what it means" book, this one will help children
discover the truth in the Word of God and how
to apply it to their own lives. This course has
a strong emphasis on those aspects important
to any study: prayer, Scripture memory, and
cross-referencing, while also having a more
lighthearted side using puzzles, word finds,
and other activities to reinforce principles and
aid in the "discover for yourself" process. The
course is divided up for twelve weeks of study,
each week containing five sections and a new
memory verse. Learn more about Paul and his
ministry to the Philippians and how his message
still applies to us today. ~ Zach

Family Bible Study Series (4-AD)
Author and homeschooling father Kevin
Swanson believes that parents are given responsibility to educate their children, particularly in
the critical area of character. He also believes
that God has provided parents great tools to use
to carry out that responsibility. Based on his
experience with his own family Bible studies,
he put together this series to make it easier for
the rest of us.
The series includes guides that delve into
three books of the Bible – Genesis, Psalms, and
Proverbs. Each guide is divided into a hundred
or so “parts”, essentially a daily lesson. Each
lesson is short, generally one to two pages, and
includes the Bible verses covered, the author’s
comments on the passages, and two or three discussion questions. Verses are quoted using the
King James Version modified to change “thee”
to “you” and removing the “eth” from the end of
verbs, for a more modern feel. The studies are
purposely brief, usually covering a short section
of Bible verses. The author’s family allows time
for each person in the family to read the passage
aloud and then say it together, with the goal of
memorizing the passage. Discussion questions
are open-ended to promote greater interchange
for practical application of the verses.

of Proverbs: God’s Book of Wisdom series
or as a standalone study. It provides you
with the questions, memory verses, and
activities to remember the important lessons presented in Proverbs. Format of
each of the 31 chapters is identical. Two
vocabulary words are studied: look up the
dictionary definition, restate the meaning
in your own words, and use the word in
a sentence. Answer several short-answer
questions after reading the referenced verses. Match 6 proverb beginnings and endings and fill in the verse number from the
chapter. Fill in the blanks of the selected
memory verse. Answer the two application questions. Finally, fill in the blanks on
another verse, then find those words in the
word search. The book is consumable, with
space provided to answer all the questions.
Answer key is provided. This book makes it
easy for your kids to “receive wise instruction in righteousness, justice, and integrity.”

☼Successful Living Studies in the Book of
Proverbs (7-AD)
When my husband was a young man he
memorized the first nine chapters of Proverbs in
order to prepare for being a godly husband and
father. To some extent, the Successful Living
studies are based on the same premise although
764
Bible
the application is broader – the principles for
living a godly life. In the very first few verses,
Proverbs states its purpose as “to know wisdom
and instruction, to perceive the words of understanding.” This series of workbooks will help
you study line-by-line through the first nine
chapters of Proverbs.
If you’re wondering why “just” the first nine
chapters, it’s because the study’s author maintains that the first nine chapters are essays on the
subject of wisdom while the last twenty-two are
the collection of wise sayings we normally think
of as “proverbs”. He indicates that Chapter One
is an introductory essay, Chapter Nine is the
conclusion and the seven chapters in between
are essays covering the basic subjects of commitment, happiness, education, marriage,
work ethics, temptations, and finding wisdom
throughout life. Designed as small, inexpensive workbooks (about 30 pgs each), the study
combines fill-in-the-blank coverage along with
overview, detailed analysis, instruction, writing
assignments, historical illustration, and “think
about it” questions. A pull-out test is included
with each workbook, plus there are three quizzes spaced throughout the study with a pretest
at the end for review. Each of the twelve workbooks follow this pattern and progress through
the first nine chapters of Proverbs but obviously
not one workbook per chapter. Answer keys are
provided for workbook pages, quizzes, pretests
and tests in the Answer Key volumes.
The study could be completed, I think, in
either a calendar year (one book per month)
or an academic year (three weeks per book)
depending on the pace you want to keep.
Reasonably priced, you could approach this
study in a number of ways – either done individually by one student or as a group/family study
where several secondary students complete their
own workbooks at the same time. Regardless, I
think it will be time well-spent, and your students will be better prepared to live a worthy
Christian life. ~ Janice

Taking the Old Testament Challenge (9-AD)
Imagine you’re in heaven and the prophet
Zechariah walks up to you and asks, “So what
did you think of my book?” You sheepishly
look down, shuffle your feet, and mutter, “Uh,
I never read it.” So begins the introduction to
this book. Whether you desire to read the OT
and struggle to trudge through Numbers or you
feel the children’s Sunday school stories taught
you all that you know of Old Testament theology, this book will guide you into a deeper
understanding of the sacred writings that Jesus
studied. This significant resource is divided into
two reading options - a full version reading
guide, which organizes the OT into 40 weeks
of readings and reflection questions, or the fast
track version, a 32-week study with readings
and reflection questions covering the main
themes and key points of the OT. Highly recommended for any high schooler or adult who
desires a comprehensive understanding of the
Old Testament. 191 pgs, pb ~ Deanne

☼Selah: Studying God’s Songbook (AD)
Selah. Stop. Listen. Pause. Reflect. In Hebrew,
the systematic meaning of this word is unknown,
yet it has been widely speculated. One thing
translators and commentators do seem to agree
on is that the word intimates the importance
of the passage preceding it. This word is used
predominately in the book of Psalm. Personally,
I believe there is no greater place in Scripture to
slow down, hear from God and reflect on Him
than God’s songbook!
Inviting you to drink deeply from His Word,
this self-pacing study offers twelve lessons on
Happiness and Righteousness; Songs for waking and sleeping; Considering God’s Name, His
Enemies, His Creation; Declaring His Glory;
God’s Goodness; Waiting on God; Godliness
and much more. Each lesson begins with
scripture to read, an introduction to the study,
related topical questions with additional scripture references and concludes with the Selah,
Pause, and Think on These Things points. Space
is provided for short answers although I suspect
keeping a journal nearby would be beneficial to
your personal quiet time reflections. As some-
one who spent several months learning from the
book of Psalms alongside Charles Spurgeon’s
Treasury of David, I can assure you that a journey into Psalms can be quite satisfying. KJV
is recommended although other versions may
work if you have access to an online KJV for any
translation differences. 105 pgs, pb. ~ Deanne

God / Life of Christ
3 in 1 - A Picture of God (K-3+)
Do you find the concept of the Trinity hard to
explain for young children? Well, it's no wonder as most adults don't truly understand all the
intricacies of the Trinity themselves! However,
this simply written and illustrated book provides
amazing insights into this difficult topic through
the metaphor of God and an apple. Yeah, so it's
hard to explain on paper, but if you could just
see this book. In the very beginning it catches
your attention with "Here is 1 apple. There is
only 1 true God. The apple has three parts: the
peel, the flesh, the core. The 1 true God has
three persons; God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Holy Spirit." Although there is
text, the meaning is effectively conveyed more
through the use of simple but highly conceptual
illustrations that really capture the essence of
the comparison. This is one of those rare and
insightful books that, although easily readable
for the very young, also can teach those of us
who are older. - Jess

Young Person’s Guide to Knowing God (4-8)
Here are 46 short stories (8 pages or less),
crafted by Patricia St. John to encourage readers
to grow in greater knowledge of God and the
principles in His Word. Each story begins with
a Scripture reference that hints at the concept
of the story, and ends with three or four of the
following insightful pointers: an author’s note
(some extra exhortation), keynote (emphasizing
the biblical point of the story), a prayer, and a
topic for further consideration. From God and
Jesus to the sacrifice of the cross and the Holy
Spirit, to spiritual growth and trusting God –
these stories are an encouragement that touch
many aspects of our lives. 35 pgs, pb. – Zach

Holiness of God (2nd Ed.) (AD)
We often talk about how God is love, yet
we rarely speak of God as holy and just. As
author R. C. Sproul probes into the depths and
riches of the holiness of God, the true nature
of God is revealed along with what that means
to us as Christians. Chapter themes such as:
“Holy, Holy, Holy,” “The Fearful Mystery,”
“The Trauma of Holiness,” “The Insanity of
Luther,” and “Holy Justice” is enough to make
it clear that this theologically rich book is also
a page-turner! In the end, Sproul gets down to
the simple fact that Christ is our only bridge to
God’s holiness. His rationale and theology is
very sound, and his illustrations are excellent.
This book is perfect for anyone who struggles
with God’s command to us in Leviticus 11:44,
“Be holy, because I am Holy.” If you are striving
to reach that ultimate goal, you must first understand what holiness is. 225 pgs, pb. – elise

and examples to illustrate the name, along
with verses reinforcing the traits of God. Each

Tea Party Bible Times for Mom and Me (2-8)
Ready for some “quality time” with your
daughter or daughters? This sweet book guides
you through 6 different Bible study chapters
consisting of a brief, preliminary lesson and
some Bible study pages, plus several craft
activities, plus ideas for a special tea party.
The preliminary Bible lesson consists of a page
of teaching and a verse for memorization.
Then, each preliminary lesson is followed by
a “Sharing Our Thoughts” page, which has
great discussion questions about various life
issues. The additional Bible study pages usually
involve looking up some Scripture together and
then having your daughter draw, write, or discuss her answers to questions pertaining to the
Bible verses. After that, there’s another page of
thought-provoking questions, and then it’s time
for the crafts projects and preparing for a special
tea party. Each chapter has a different kind of
tea party: a formal tea, backyard garden tea, a
moonlit night tea, school days tea, rainbow tea,
teddy bear tea party. As the author suggests, you
can always invite other moms and daughters to
make one or more of these a group event! The
book is full of many, many ideas for creating
great memories together. 128 pgs, pb ~ Caryl

Starting Strong (4-6)
Engage your children in discussions and activities that will give them confidence in the fact
that they can read and understand the Bible for
themselves. The three main topics looked at are
the life of the Apostle Peter, friends, and young
heroes. The three studies use short stories and
retellings of Bible passages, along with questions, crosswords, pictures, stickers, and other
means to explore various fundamental Bible
truths. In Peter, we see a charismatic leader
who God used in mighty ways – in ways He
can also use us if we give our lives to Him.
Through the study on friends, we will learn how
to have a friend, how to keep friends, the kinds
of friends to avoid, what to do when friends
let you down, and about the one friend that
will always be there. The last section looks
at six heroes and heroines, as an example of
the amazingly fruitful lives that can be lived
when a person responds to God at an early age.
Straightforward and clear, these studies can be
used one-on-one, or in a group. A Sonlight

Because You Are Strong (5-AD)
Where does real strength come from? Maybe
we should also ask, “What is real strength?”
The answers to these questions will differ
dramatically, depending on who you ask.
Christians know that the foundations of true
strength are found in only one source – Jesus
Christ. To know Him, we must study God’s
word. It all comes down to familiarity – the
more we study, the greater the understanding
we will have. Geared toward young men (with
alternate studies for young women), this study
will teach students in real, biblical strength as it
pertains to: our perseverance, the omnipotence
of God, wisdom, temptation, valor, weakness,
battle, serving, age, and faith. The skills honed
during this course are: use of a concordance,
studying Greek and Hebrew words, performing
character studies, using marginal notes from the
Bible, using free computer-based study tools,
and studying passages and topics from the Bible
in depth. The basic framework of this course
is organized for a 74-day study, though there
are 40 additional study suggestions throughout
for expansion. Daily study time is estimated
at between 5 and 20 minutes. Recommended
resources are Nave’s Topical Bible and Strong’s
Exhaustive Concordance. This study is in consumable workbook format and permission is
granted to copy the pages for household use.

billboards, television and the like. Have you
ever wondered how to teach your daughter
what really matters when it comes to defining
beauty or how to show her what God’s word
say about beauty?
With over ten weeks of in-depth studies on
the topic of beauty, this excellent book will
provide your daughter a thorough understanding of beauty from God’s perspective. Topics
included are Beauty in Submission (I Peter),
Beauty in the Heart, Beauty in Trusting God
(Sarah), Beauty in Humility (Esther), Beauty in
Modesty (I Timothy), Beauty in Serving, Beauty
without Discretion (Proverbs), Beauty under
Pressure (1 Samuel 25), and Beauty in the Gates
(Ruth). The book concludes with a review of
Biblical beauty.
While a thorough understanding of the above
concepts is invaluable to our daughters, one
of the greatest treasures of this study is that
our daughters are taught how to study the
Word of God. Through inductive, topical and
character studies which compare passages of
scriptures, research Hebrew and Greek Words
and teach how to effectively use printed and
online study helps, our daughters will become
well-equipped to study the word of God for a
lifetime. Recommended materials include internet/mobile apps, Nave’s Topical Bible, Strong’s
Exhaustive Concordance and a Bible you don’t
mind marking in. KJV and ESV are the versions
utilized throughout the study.
Additional study ideas are included at the
end of each study if you wish to examine the
concept more in-depth. Incorporating additional
topics will provide a thorough, year-long study
on beauty. While primarily written for girls, the
author provides alternate questions for young
men designed to help them understand true
beauty, making this a flexible resource for families. Consumable workbooks are reproducible
for family use. 128 pgs, pb. ~ Deanne

Living the Fruitful Life (6-9)
Living a “fruit-filled” life is an outflow of a
spirit-filled life, and as Christians, we also have
a responsibility to make wise choices in our
responses and behavior. Wisdom and discernment to make wise choices often comes from
understanding what God’s word has to say. This
self-pacing, in-depth word study on the fruit
of the spirit may be exactly the tool you are
looking for to develop discernment. Each of the
‘fruits’ is examined scripturally using the Greek
word as the basis. At the conclusion of the
word studies, a place is provided to journal final
thoughts and impressions. This book is an effective resource to introduce your young people
to the word-study approach that is crucial to
understanding and applying God’s word in our
lives. 95 pgs, spiral-bound. ~Deanne

☼Growing in the Word (7-12)
Basic Christian doctrine is covered in this
series of Bible study guides from Christian Light
Publications. Each study provides 13 weekly
lessons, each with seven days of Bible readings
and commentary. Day 1 is the primary, subjectsetting study for the week. Here the week’s
primary Bible passage is provided (in KJV) with
commentary that includes “Thinking Through
the Scripture” and “The Heart of the Matter.”
Then follows an applications commentary section (Related Ideas), a series of comprehension
questions (To Think About), and discussion
questions (Meditation and Discussion). The sections for days 2-7 suggest related passages with
a brief follow-up devotional commentary. God,
Jesus & the Holy Spirit explores the attributes
and works of the triune God in each person of
the trinity. Man, Sin & Salvation explores the
many facets of God’s glorious salvation plan.
The Church demonstrates how God is revealed
by the life of the Lord Jesus in the lives of its
members. The Christian Life explores Christian
growth, victory, simplicity and conformity to
Christ. These studies would work well for either
personal or group use and provide a solid basis
of discussion for families on these basic doctrines of the Christian life. 125 – 130 pgs, pb.

Everyday Battles (9-12)
From the author of Boyhood and Beyond,
Created for Work and Practical Happiness - this
final book written by Bob Schultz uses real life
examples to show young men how they can
better know God, what He is like, and the
purpose of conflict in life. As sure as you live
and breathe, there will be conflicts in life. God
already knows that and has given you what is
needed to survive and thrive in the face of those
battles. Every chapter of this book includes
good, practical information, scripture and questions to help solidify the message. The author
uses examples and events from his own life,
some humorous and others more serious, but
all things that relate a Biblical principle. The
writing is sincere and you can tell that the
author truly believed what he penned on the
pages. Topics found in this book include: Why
God allows battles and suffering, What to do at
the first sign of conflict, What God really thinks
of you, How to gain the wisdom you need to
make decisions, and One decision left for you to
make. This book is to help you deal with battles
here on earth, both small and large, in order to
gain the ultimate prize. Bob Schultz went to be
with our Lord in 2008 just after speaking at the
ICHE convention in Illinois. This book is what
he had finished at the time of his death, and his
daughter has done her very best to present his
book the way he intended without change – not
presuming what he might write, the content and
message are Bob’s. These aren’t just words;
they are to be a way of life. ~ Donna

Loving God (9-AD)
When Billy Graham calls a
book, “One of the most spiritually satisfying books I have ever
read,” you know that you are
about to be challenged! Loving
God is one of the easiest things
to say that we do, but what
does a life that loves God look
like? Author Chuck Colson’s treatise insightfully
looks at a believer’s love relationship with God.
Covering topics such as obedience, the power
of God’s Word, sin and repentance, holiness,
suffering and loving God in life and death, you
will be compelled to experience loving God
more deeply. As I read the intermingled stories
of people with real hurts, I felt urged to love
God more in my own life. It is easy to see why
this is a required resource for the My Father’s
World US History program at the high school
level; Christian young people and even their
parents will be challenged. Pb. ~ Deanne

Adventure Bible Handbook takes children on a

Garden of Eden, then go to the flood and see
how large the ark really was; visit the Tower
of Babel, meet Abraham and his family, then
travel with Joseph to Egypt before moving on
through other Bible events. For each stop in the
story, you will not only read about the group of
travelers, there will be photos of the area, items
found there, explanation of unusual terms, and
a Bible summary of that particular event. There
may also be a scripture quotation (NIrV unless
otherwise noted) or reference, so you can read
more on the subject. The good news is that the
children find their father, but they learn so much
as they are searching.
Some great resources are also found in this
handbook. In the front of this 240-page hardcover book is a list of the pages on which you
can find references to the books of the Bible
(chronologically) and a list of the stories that are
covered in the Adventure Bible Handbook. The

God wrote it using various men over a period
of time; how it became the Bible of today; and
maps of Bible lands. Successive chapters cover
a specific book of the Bible, give background
on author and title, the setting in which it took
place, main figures in the book, an outline of
the key events, and how the book relates to the
Bible as a whole - as God’s unfolding plan.

Biblical History & Culture
DC Cook Journey Through the Bible (3-AD)
Formerly titled Victor Journey Through the
Bible, this is a wonderful reference to accompany your own Bible reading or family Bible
studies. It covers selected (major) Bible events
chronologically, providing helpful historical and
cultural information about traditions, clothing,
everyday objects, places, and more. For example, the Tower of Babel entry discusses its location, possible excavation sites, what the name
"Babel" means in Akkadian, information about
ziggurats (the most probable form of construction), and the birth of nations after the flood.
Very interesting, informative and colorful, this
profusely illustrated volume abounds with photographs and artistic renderings, besides maps,
charts, lists, and diagrams. Although the title
has changed slightly from "Victor" to "DC Cook,"
the interior content has not been changed. A
welcome addition to your library.

Unveiling the Kings of Israel (7-AD)
Lavishly illustrated and packed with engaging

introduction discussing the challenges facing the
authority of Biblical history, archaeologist David
Down stresses the importance of understanding historical records and timelines, and how
a correct interpretation of historical records in
Egypt and Israel show a remarkable consistency
with Biblical records. Each successive chapter
explores the history and geography of Israel
through her prophets and kings. Topics include:
Noah and the worldwide flood; Abraham In
Ur and Canaan; Isaac and Rebekah; Jacob
and Esau; Joseph to Moses; Crossing the Sinai
Peninsula (Red Sea); desert wilderness; crossing
the Jordan; Joshua to Judges; Samuel and Saul;
David as King; Solomon; Israel and Judah; Israel

Books, this book is an indispensable guide to
understanding the Bible’s archaeological history. 170 pgs, hc. ~ Deanne

☼Old and New Testament Geography (8-AD)
Do you want to add
some
geographical
depth to your Bible
study program – or
perhaps you’re reading
through the Bible in a
year (like I am) and want
a light touch of geographical perspective. These
workbooks would be perfect for either purpose.
I think they could also be used successfully with
family devotions as the maps are easy to read.
Each book covers the basic geography of a testament in 13 lessons. Lessons are four pages each
and include a page of questions about a certain
time period (i.e. period of the Judges – about
1370 – 1030 B.C.) These questions are historical and are a combination of multiple choice,
short answer, or in the case of Judges, put the
judges in order. Questions typically include
Scripture references. Although lessons always
include a map and often a timeline, the other
content can vary. For instance, in the Judges
lesson there are thought questions referencing
certain portions of scripture. One question in
this lesson asks about Abimelech, who some
books call a judge but this book considers an
oppressor. The student is asked to determine
which and defend his answer. The last page is
a chart listing the judge, “his/her” scripture passage, and a place to write interesting information. There are more maps in the NT book as
the lessons follow first the life of Christ and then
the missionary journeys of Paul and the other
apostles. A one-page final quiz answer worksheet holding write-in blanks is provided at the
end of each book, but the teacher is expected to
choose the questions from the previous course
content. These books are consumable worktexts
(non-reproducible) but the price point is reasonable. No answers are included, so this really is
a workbook to use alongside your reading of the
Bible. 54 pgs, pb. ~ Janice

History and Geography of the Bible Story
(9-AD)
If you are looking for a practical, workbookbased Bible study, this is a good one to consider. It completes a survey of the history and
geography of the entire Bible, from Genesis to
Revelation. In 52 lessons (which conveniently
work out to one per week for a calendar year),
students will be engaged in learning about the
geographical features and the roles they played
in the histories of the various nations involved
with the Holy Land. The workbook is divided
into two main parts: the first is a brief look at
the physical attributes of all Bible lands in seven
lessons, while the second (which contains the
rest of the lessons) correlates the history and
geography. The text in each lesson is descriptively detailed and is also consumable (though
not reproducible). At various places throughout
the text, biblical references point students to
the passage that will help them find the answer
to fill in the blank. Map activities also abound,
and there are both blank outline maps and full
color reference maps throughout the workbook.
Students’ knowledge is tested through eleven
periodic review lessons. The only additional
resource that is required to complete this study
is a Bible. However, there is a companion
CD-ROM available that comes packed with info
and resources to dramatically expand on this
study. This CD-ROM contains a corresponding 52 lessons on the history and geography of
Bible times. The lessons are presented on 1320
PowerPoint charts, so you will need Microsoft
PowerPoint (or at least PowerPoint Viewer) to
be able to use the CD. Although the lessons are
based on the study guide described above, they
can easily be used with any Bible or even history class curriculum. The lessons give a good
summary of the history of Biblical nations and
will help students learn the geography of the
Bible lands. Basically, it gives a general survey
of the Bible from Genesis through the close of
the first century. High quality, full-color maps,
charts, and photographs are included on the
slides, and when students click on the screen,
information pops up. Info is presented sentence
by sentence so students can click at their own
pace to follow the lessons. Sometimes the info
is presented in outline form, with several bullets per slide. The 52 lessons are divided by
geographic areas, time periods, and books of
the Bible with instruction on the geography of
Palestine, promises to Abraham, the conquest
of Canaan, the empire of Solomon, the fall of
Israel, the life of Christ, Paul’s journeys, and so
much more. There are reviews of some of the
books of the Bible, which quickly sum up what
happened and where it happened in that book.
The history and geography of the Bible really
comes alive through the charts, maps, and other
graphics, and the concise text sections make it
easy for students to focus on the key facts about
a large variety of Bible stories. The very first
lesson shows students (and teachers) how to get
the most out of the presentations and explains
why learning geography along with the history
of the Bible is so important and effective. With
a good summary of the entire Bible, facts on the
geography of the Bible lands, colorful graphics,
and an interactive computer interface, this is a
great way to learn historical details about the
Bible

Bible. A recent update to the CD has made
it even more useful. It now includes student
questions (with answers) for every one of the
52 lessons. If students understand the material,
they will be able to answer the 10-20 questions
per lesson, which are provided in PDF format.
This will work on any operating system, as long
as you have Microsoft PowerPoint or Viewer.

Noah’s Ark: Thinking Outside the Box (7-AD)
Almost everyone knows the story of Noah and
the flood but the picture that many Christians
have of the ark’s design, construction, and
function are not only inaccurate but detrimental
to the belief in a global flood and a literal interpretation of the Bible. In this fascinating book,
the author, Tim Lovett, unveils a new ark design
based on biblical information and ancient
shipbuilding capabilities. As Lovett takes you
through the planning, designing, construction,
sailing, and living in the ark, you’ll begin to
understand the hard work on Noah’s part and
follow the evidence that there was indeed a
worldwide flood that his ark survived. I grew up
knowing all about the flood and ark but reading
this book was the first time it was brought to life
in a real way. Throughout the book are beautiful, full-color illustrations and photographs of
design, construction, and life aboard the ark that
make it even more real. With scientific, historical, and biblical evidence, this book offers one
of the best, most realistic looks at what Noah’s
ark was really like. 74 pgs, hc. ~Rachel

Noah’s Ark: Thinking Outside the Box DVD
(7-AD)
Whether or not you've read the book, this is
a fascinating DVD. You learn a lot about the
construction and theories about the ark, while
on-screen models are built at high speeds. It
takes it much further than just covering the different theories; it shows what other people think
about the ark’s design. It also shows different
ark designs and describes why some designs
wouldn’t actually work. It’s a very good DVD
for learning about Noah’s ark and all the surrounding debates about it. The computer-generated images are nice, too, like the two-by-two
animals walking into the ark. 25 min. ~ Stephen

Bible Atlas and Companion (3-AD)
As far as biblical atlases go, this one really
caught my attention. Its clean, uncluttered layout, and colorful, clearly labeled maps combine
with numerous photographs and illustrations
to deliver a uniquely vibrant look at the lands
described in the Bible. The 75 maps explore
biblical history from the time of Abraham to the
Revelation, while the accompanying texts and
charts help to explain what the reader is looking
at. A great companion to any Bible study, and
an intriguing book to simply browse through.

Rose Book of Bible Charts, Maps & Time Lines
(3-AD)
This book is a visual treat for visual learners (like myself). I am a huge fan of the Rose
Publishing pamphlets due to the wide variety of
visually-pleasing Bible charts, maps, and time
lines they offer. As a result, I was thrilled when
this amazing book wound up on my desk. I had
to force myself to stop looking through the pages
so I could write this description! This book has
188 pages of spectacular full-color charts, maps,
and time lines – many of which you can buy
as individual pamphlets, but some that are not
available individually.
The content of this book can be broken up
into six different categories. The first category
is a section dedicated to general Bible charts.
In this section there are charts that present
the books of the Bible, an overview of the
Old and New Testament, insight on how we
got the Bible, lists of 100 well-known people
and prayers, and a Christian history time line
(which is really good!). Next you move into
the Old Testament Charts, which provides you
with an outline of creation, 100 well-known
events, family trees, names of God, insight to
the Ten Commandments, and wonderful charts
that bring clarity to Judges, Kings, Prophets, the
prophesies of Daniel, and important archaeological finds that support the Old Testament.
The third section of this book gives New
Testament charts. This section includes charts
on the genealogy of Jesus; 100 prophesies fulfilled by Jesus; events, miracles, parables, and
teachings of Jesus; information on the twelve
disciples; 100 well-known events from Acts
to Revelation; archaeological finds that support the New Testament; and other charts that
cover well-known portions of scripture such as
the Armor of God and Fruit of the Spirit. The
next section contains twenty beautiful and welllabeled maps that highlight different features of
the Middle East and The Holy Land, as well as
showing where Jesus walked and the locations
of Paul’s missionary journeys. The fifth section
includes colorful illustrations and diagrams of
places described in the Bible, such as Noah’s
Ark, The Tabernacle, The Ark of the Covenant,
Solomon’s Temple, Herod’s Temple, and a
detailed diagram of Palm Sunday to Easter.
Lastly, the final section provides information on
Christianity, Cults, and Religions, denominations comparison, the Trinity, and a comparison
of Islam and Christianity.
This book is hardcover and has a spine, but
it has a hidden spiral binding that allows you
easily reproduce the pages for your classroom.
This resource may seem a little pricey; however,
if you bought all of these charts separately in
pamphlet form, you would pay much more.
Plus, you will be hard pressed to find another
resource that so clearly presents the truths of the
Bible in such an amazing visual format! – elise

A biblical timeline – and beyond. Way
beyond. Biblical history – from Adam through
the life of the Apostle John – as well as the
parallel world history is presented in timeline
form on oversized (12 x 17), accordion-folded,
expanding panels. Based on the biblical chronology compiled by Archbishop Ussher in the
seventeenth century, the interpretation is traditional. Well-organized and highly detailed, biblical and world events can be located quickly.
Corresponding detailed world history means
you can just as quickly put those biblical events
into world history perspective. The sixteen panels can be viewed in book form (hard cover)
or drawn out and spread to provide a stunning
view of continuous history. But there’s more!
Timeline information covers ten of the panels,
but the remaining twenty (fifteen front and
back) are a compendium (accompanied with
illustrations and maps) of detailed and interesting information including History of the Bible
in translation, distribution of the nations after
the flood, Holy Land maps, the Jewish captivities and ancient Jerusalem, the New Testament
World, The Ten Commandments, The Lord’s
Prayer, Old Testament information, Moses and
the Exodus, Kings, Conquerors and Prophets,
Wars and Battles, New Testament information, information about Jesus Christ and the
Apostles. The actual timeline information was
first published many years ago and there have
been numerous re-publications, the most current being the Adams’ Chart or Map of History.
This one is smaller and more focused. It’s THE

Abolition of Man (9-AD)
This classic by C.S. Lewis shares his views on
the education of older students (and how educators of his day were leading students down a
dangerous path), and uses that as a starting point
to stress the importance of good values, courage, and honor in our society. He warns of the
consequences of an education or social thinking
that undermines the importance of good values
and treats everything as relative. He states that
some things are in fact objective (they are without doubt good or evil) and criticizes the way
society is trying to rationalize the diminishment
of the belief in natural values. Finally he warns
of a future in which the values and morals of
the majority are controlled by a small group of
people who rule by a perfect understanding of
psychology. One of most debated of Lewis’s
work, this book stresses that above all else,
people should be taught to love good and hate
evil. 114 pages, pb. ~ Rachel

Bondage of the Will (9-AD)
This famous, long-appreciated text by Martin
Luther delves into a variety of theological issues,
many the primary doctrines of the Reformation.
Translated by Packer and Johnston in a way that
captures the emotion and style of Luther’s original Latin, the book covers many Biblical topics,
focusing especially on free-will and predestination. Much of the book compares Luther’s
theology to that of Desiderius Erasmus, another
notable religious figure in the 1500s, and multiple scripture references are included. Though
the language and vocabulary of the book may
be challenging for contemporary readers, the
thoughts and theology it contains spurred the
Reformation and has since guided many to a
deeper understanding of theological issues. For
those not familiar with Luther’s views, these
writings defend predestination and highlight
man’s inability to save himself. 320 pgs, pb.

City of God (9-AD)
This classic work by the great theologian
Saint Augustine was begun in A.D. 413 and
took thirteen years to complete. City of God
was originally written to refute the charge that
Christianity was to blame for the fall of Rome,
but ultimately the work interprets human history in relation to eternity by exploring the
struggle between good and evil from a biblical
viewpoint. In this heavy theological volume,
Augustine explores two co-existing cities: the
city of God and the city of man. By contrasting
an earthly, pagan, secular city with a devout,
God-fearing city, he concludes that salvation
through God is the key to eternal life. City of
God is also notable because it provides a history
of the early church. The Marcus Dods translation includes an introduction by Thomas Merton
with an index included. Recommended by the
Well Trained Mind. Approx 900 pgs. The other
version is edited by Vernon J. Bourke and is
used for the Memoria Press City of God study.

Confessions (8-AD)
Saint Augustine (AD 354-430) is known as one
of the most influential thinkers of Christianity,
and many of his prayers and meditations are
still used today. What many people don’t know
is that before Augustine came to Christ, his life
was full of all kinds of waste, lust, and evil.
Augustine himself recounts his life journey
and how he slowly transformed into such an
effective activist for Christianity. This interesting autobiography shares the details of a life
that was turned around, and also touches on
fundamental issues of Christian doctrine. This
edition includes an introduction discussing Saint
Augustine’s intentions for this work. Translated

In this novel, we follow the writer as he takes

there are ultimate consequences to everyday
behavior. This novel, another of C. S. Lewis's

translated into modern English and organized
into paragraph form. This newer format makes
this Christian classic much more readable and
understandable than previous editions. These
meditations by a German priest on the life and
teachings of Jesus offer great spiritual guidance.

In His Steps (9-AD)
When a stranger challenges a congregation to
consider what it really means to follow in the
steps of Jesus, it certainly has an effect. Over
the next year, six people in particular who
decided to make that effort to walk in His steps
experienced the Christian life as they never had

Mere Christianity (9-AD)
C. S. Lewis had a remarkable talent for using
the English language, and when he was given
the opportunity in 1942 to explain the Christian
faith on air with the BBC, he began something
that is still benefiting people more than sixty
years later. The 33 talks that have been compiled into this book are Lewis's explanation
and defense of those points that are common
to nearly all Christians, on various topics: law,
the invasion by Germany, the "cardinal virtues,"
morality and psychoanalysis, forgiveness, faith,
the three-personal God, the new man, and
many others. Easy to read and understand, the
simple language has not dumbed down the con-

Mere Christianity Study Guide (7-AD)
This study guide to C. S. Lewis's Mere
Christianity bridges that time and space gap
between 1940s England (when the talks compiled in the book were written) and the world
we know today, wherever we may be. The
guide accomplishes this by keeping things
simple - first, students of the book are taken
through a quick overview of the major themes
and structure of Mere Christianity, and in
the second place, they are taken step-by-step
through the book itself. Quick and easy to use,
this guide will help to bring out the message of
C. S. Lewis' writings. ~ Zach

Practicing His Presence (9-AD)
What can be learned from the letters of a man
who lived 350 years ago? Perhaps very little if
the man had not walked trustingly through life
as Brother Lawrence did. Not much if he had
not had an amazing way of speaking from his
heart and sharing the life-lessons learned as he
grew to know God more deeply and more personally every day. This small book provides the
life-changing letters of Brother Lawrence (edited
into language more comfortable for today’s
ears) as well as those of Frank Laubach, another
godly man writing letters through the first part of
the 20th century. Enjoy this book as part of your

Rule of St. Benedictine English (11-AD)
For fifteen centuries, Benedictine monasticism
has been governed by a “Rule” that is strong
enough to keep order and yet flexible enough
to be followed fifteen hundred years later.
Translated into English by Timothy Fry from
the Order of St. Benedict, this classic text for
monastic life shows the guidelines that monks
in his order live by. Striving for equality in
community, the book touches on charity, humility, submission, prayer, personality, integrity,
spirituality, listening, and the fact that all are
equal before God. Can be read to see how sixth
century monks lived or even as a devotional
booklet. 96 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel

Screwtape Letters w/ Screwtape Proposes a
Toast (7-AD)
C. S. Lewis’ brilliantly insightful book about the
activity of the devil’s assistants as they endeavor
to steer a person onto and along the path of
destruction. Through letters received from an
uncle, we see how the battle the evil tempter
Wormwood is fighting unfolds. Also included
in this book is the article “Screwtape Proposes a
Toast,” in which Screwtape (the uncle sending
the letters to Wormword), as the guest of honor
at the Tempters’ Training College, is giving a
speech about temptation and how it is used
effectively. Though a work of fiction, this book
is an encouragement to all Christians to stand
firm against the temptation to sin and turn from
the Cross. Available in paperback or hardcover;

Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and
Other Puritan Sermons (7-AD)
Many Christians have read, or at least heard
about, the famous sermon by Jonathan Edwards
that gave a vivid description of the torments
of hell and urged listeners to receive salvation before they faced the agony that awaited the unrepentant. Given during the Great
Awakening, this sermon has been regarded as
both the greatest sermon ever and as a traditional “fire and brimstone” puritanical speech.
The sermon is presented in its entirety here,
along with other sermons and speeches from
nine other influential Puritans of the sixteenth
to eighteenth centuries. Whole or parts of sermons are included for such figures as Thomas
Shepard, Cotton Mather, John Cotton, John
Winthrop, Increase Mather, Jonathan Mayhew,
Thomas Hooker, Peter Bulkeley, and Samuel
Willard. More than one sermon is given for
some of the men, and many of the sermons
have similar themes of hell, God’s anger, and
repentance. These sermons had a lasting impact
on American Christianity and should be read
for their historical value as well as for religious
studies and spiritual exploration. 208 pgs, pb.

Answers Books for Kids (2-5)
Ken Ham and his team saw the need for
information about the Bible for the younger
crowd and wrote this series based on the questions they ask. Each of the 4 volumes addresses
questions from kids within a different topic in
this order: creation and the fall, dinosaurs and
the flood of Noah, God and the Bible, and Sin,
Salvation, and the Christian Life. These little
books are simply written to appeal to ages 6-12.
The first page of each 2-page spread presents a
question in a child’s printing along with the age
and name of the person asking the question.
The second page offers scripture and the answer
composed by the authors. Colorful photos and
illustrations are found on every page, and each
hardcover book includes 22 questions. These
books will help strengthen your child’s faith and
give answers to many of their important questions concerning the Bible. ~ Donna

☼When a Nation Forgets God (9-AD)
The book Band of Brothers relives the experiences of E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st
Airborne during WWII. In the last chapter,
when the war has been won, author Stephen
Ambrose makes the point that the men felt like
they had more in common with the German
people (their enemy) than they did with the people of Britain, France, or Belgium (their allies).
The author of this book, Dr. Erwin Lutzer, has
also noticed some similarities between the
United States and WWII Germany. When Hitler
was elected, he was fine with Germans attending church, as long as the Church did not interfere in the secular arena. By and large, church
leaders and German Christians went along with
this. Those who did not, like Martin Niemoller,
were imprisoned for “abuse of pulpit” in concentration camps for the duration of the war.

The New Answers Book (6-12)
All around guides to creation science, I was
impressed with the wide variety of subjects
these books touch on. Using a fairly common
question to start off each chapter, they then
delve into various subjects for detailed answers.
For example, the first book starts off with the
question, “Is There Really a God?” It then talks
about how order is always taken as a sign of a
creator and how information can’t really rise
from non information. Each book broaches over
30 questions, ranging from such creation-related
topics as the doom of dinosaurs, why Christians
shouldn’t accept billions of years, the origin
of evil, how a Christian should respond to gay
marriage, if Creationists can believe in physics
like relativity, quantum mechanics, and string
theory, how human and chimp DNA could be
so similar, the existence of dragons, the ethics
of genetically modified organisms, and many,
many more. The questions are approached
scientifically, biblically, and logically. Clear,
relatively concise answers are accompanied by
a generous number of illustrations and pictures,
making the information easy to absorb. These
books do a good job of showing how the “evolutionizing” of our culture is not just affecting
science – it’s affecting most aspects of our society. Not just exciting reading that will educate
and influence your thinking for years to come,
they will also give you confidence in answering
questions raised by non-believers. Written by
various creation scientists and edited by Ken
Ham, the books are 370+ pgs, pb. Revised and

Answers Book for Teens (8-12)
Two facts. One, teens are intelligent. Two, the
teen years are a time in which they need guidance and direction; they’re some of the most
crucial years for the formation of their beliefs
and character. These books respect both facts.
In a world where teens especially are targeted
with anti-God messages and expected not to
think, it’s so very crucial that they are equipped
with solid answers to the difficult questions
they’ll face: Does it matter how old the earth
is? Is there really only one way to God? Isn’t the
Bible full of contradictions?
Volume One of the Answers Book for Teens
explores 15 tough questions including topics like the origin of life, homosexuality, and
violence/suffering in the world. Volume Two
also answers 15 questions dealing with topics
such as evolutionary thinking, the reliability
of the Bible, and being prepared for college.
Both books build their answers with solid backing from the Word of God, and include clear
presentations of the Gospel. This is an excellent
resource to help teens become strong in the
faith. I wish these had been around in my early

More Than A Carpenter (6-AD)
This small book by Josh McDowell puts into
simple terms what he discovered as he sought
to disprove Christianity and ended up embracing it. For every objection that has been raised,
the author presents clear evidence making the
case for Jesus being the Christ, for His being a
part of the mystery known as the Trinity, and
for the veracity of His resurrection after death
in the worst form of capital punishment ever
devised. If you have some doubt about the
Bible accounts of Jesus' life, or know someone
in your circle who does, this is an excellent
starting point for answering common questions.

Don’t Check Your Brains at the Door (9-12)
This book by Josh McDowell and Bob
Hostetler will help high school students expose
common myths about God, the Bible, religion,
and life, giving them answers to the questions
they will get from non-Christians. The book is
broken into several sections, examining myths
about God, Jesus, the Bible, the Resurrection,
Religion and Christianity, and even Life and
Happiness. Different common misconceptions
about Christianity are presented, and then arguments from the Bible (and sometimes other
sources) are given so students know the truth
and have an answer to the questions people
may ask them. Each misconception and arguments against it is included in a 2-4 page chapter, with a “Brain Food” section finishing the
chapter. This section is basically a short exercise
that builds on the material in the chapter and
usually requires looking up different scripture
passages that complement the discussion in the
book. Questions students will be able to answer
include “Is God a cosmic cop out to squelch fun
and happiness? Did writers of the Bible stretch
facts into legends? Is Christianity the only way
to reach God? Jesus was a good teacher, but
can anyone prove his resurrection?” 42 different
misconceptions/myths/questions are included in
all, the text is straightforward (and sometimes
humorous), with great facts and examples,
especially for high schoolers. It helps students
know what they believe and why and shows
how Christianity stands up to the test of fact and
reason. 191 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel

Know WHAT You Believe (9+)
To quote the author, Paul E. Little, "It doesn't
matter what you think of Play-Doh®, Napoleon,
or Richard Nixon. It does matter what you think
of Jesus Christ." Another quote reads, "The
Christian experience is not like a man with a
fried egg on his ear who claims the egg gives
him peace and joy. Rather, the Christian experience is securely bound to the objective, historical fact of the life, death, and resurrection of
Jesus Christ." This book has been written for the
person in the classroom or the pew, highlighting
the bottom-line truths and the non-negotiables
of Christianity. You're sure to come away with
a good understanding of what God has done to
bring us into a relationship with Him through
His son, Jesus Christ. The end of the book has a
series of study questions and the general theme
of each of the 10 chapters. This is information
every Christian should absorb. - Tom

What We Believe Series from Apologia (1-9)
The statistics are disturbing. Teens and young
adults who have been raised in the church are
leaving and not returning later. Lots of them!
Europe is filled with empty church buildings.
Is America following her example? Researchers
trying to find the reasons have concluded that it
isn’t enough to “just” take your child to church
with you. It isn’t enough to “just” homeschool.
Parents must be actively involved in living/
demonstrating/teaching the biblical Christian
worldview. Worldview isn’t something mystical
or unknowable – it’s simply the way your child
(and you) looks at the world every day. Diverse
beliefs about reality fill the world around us and
in our emerging “global village” are coming
ever closer. Christians are faced with critical
questions such as: “How do we know what
is true?” and “How must we live our lives in
relation to the truth we come to know?” This
curriculum - a four-part series - is designed to
776
Bible
address questions like these. It is based on the
biblical Christian worldview, which affirms that
truth is absolute and knowable through the revelation of God. It reiterates that knowledge of
God is the beginning of wisdom and the key to
understanding the world around us.
Apologia is providing a wonderful tool for
Christian parents: user-friendly, colorful texts
written in an engaging, conversational style
directly to the student. A tool that can be
customized to any individual child or family,
encouraging Bible reading and memory work,
thoughtful examination and consideration of
ideas, notebooking as a means of gathering and
processing information, prayer and personal
application. It is both a Bible study and a doctrinal study; but it is much more. It presents
students with the opportunity and necessity of
turning the light inward and then turning toward
the One who is the Light. As such it does not
hesitate to take on some difficult questions such
as: Where am I building my life? What is God
like? If God created the world, why isn’t it perfect? Why did God create me?
Although this series is unique in many ways,
there are also many points of overlap with the
worldview materials that come from Summit
Ministries – indeed, one of the writers is a
Summit staff writer. That’s good, in my opinion,
as Summit Ministries has been actively pursuing
the idea of worldview education for years and has
developed an orderly approach to its many facets.
It also means that you can expect to see a thorough and age/grade appropriate examination of all
the major worldviews as well as the implications
of each on different aspects of our culture.
To give you an idea how all of this works
together within a lesson, let’s look at lesson 6 of
Who is God? (V1): “If God Created the World,
Why Isn’t It Perfect?” The authors obviously
understand about how to “hook” an audience
because the first thing you notice as you skim
through the lesson is a story about a camping
trip, a recipe for S’mores Clusters (yes, they
sound wonderful), and a picture of a wide
screen TV. Well, the camping story introduces a
father-son discussion on creation while the rest
of the chapter provides the biblical and theological background – The Four Relationships of
Creation. And the TV? It serves as a reminder
that TV shows, movies, music and internet sites
are all produced by people with worldviews and
that they are powerful tools that can shape what
we believe.
Each Text is a beautifully done hardcover book
that includes the lessons for each course. Each
lesson can be covered in about two weeks, three
days per week. That timetable would probably
work well for a middle school student working
more or less independently. However, there’s
a lot of flexibility here and if you wanted to do
the study as a family with multi-age children it
could be slowed down considerably. Lessons
follow a pattern: an overview called The Big
Idea, a list of the learning objectives – What
You Will Do, a short story, then Think About It
(thought-provoking questions). Next is a vocabulary study – Words You Need to Know – and
suggested Bible memory verses – Hide It in Your
Heart. (Bible verses are primarily taken from the
NIV although the ICB and NCV are sometimes
used. Students are encouraged to read passages in whatever version they prefer.) The heart
(and bulk) of the lesson is called “Integrated
Learning” and consists of a clear presentation of
the lesson contents interspersed with interesting
articles (e.g. Where was the Garden of Eden? in
Lesson 6, V1), biographical sketches (e.g. Fanny
Crosby), illustrative artwork (often reproductions
of masterpieces by Rembrandt, Velazquez,
Dore, Michelangelo, and others), and Make a
Note of It sections (suggestions for notebooking topics). Personal application is introduced
in the What Should I Do? section along with a
prayer. Each lesson concludes with Worldview
in Focus – which is an ongoing study using a
visual model – The House of Truth – developed
by Summit Ministries.
Apologia has given us a valuable course of
study. I have to admit it’s courses like these that
make me wish I could start my homeschooling
all over again. How blessed today’s generation
of homeschoolers are! Although the course
could be completed with just the Text, a Bible
and a notebook for each child, Apologia has
prepared some additional user-friendly tools.
Designed to be a keepsake record of the
child’s spiritual growth through each course,
the Notebooking Journals provide subtly colored, graphically designed (i.e. attractive and
appealing) space to keep notes from the course
content, vocabulary, memory verse records,
reinforcing activities and mini-books, practical
applications, course reviews and thoughtful
responses. These are probably most appropriate for upper elementary and middle school
students as there is a fair amount of writing
involved. The student is the author of this journal and a nice feature is the author’s biographical page at the end – all ready for the student
to supply his information. [May I just add a

Lapbooks: What We Believe Series from
Apologia (K-9)
Knowledge Box Central has created colorful lapbooks to accompany each of the What
We Believe worldview series courses from
Apologia. Each four-folder lapbook includes
an impressive array of topics from the course.
These will keep your hands-on learner busy and
at the same time create a lovely display and
review of what has been learned throughout the
year. The lapbooks for each course are available in three formats. The printed version means
you (or your student) will need to cut out the
mini-books, assemble them, fill in any needed
information, and attach them to the file folders.
The CD-ROM version provides pdf files for all
the mini-books but you will need to print them
in addition to the other tasks. Not sure what a
lapbook is? Just take a look at the graphics on
our website for the pre-assembled versions to
get a good idea, or call one of our helpful consultants! ~ Janice

☼Worldview: A Nine-Week Study (8-12)
Is your student ready for the hard questions?
This study puts it this way: “Do the good ideas
we find in scripture match reality better than
any of the false ideas opposed to scripture?”
In nine weeks of study, your student will be
introduced to those questions, have the opportunity to examine and think about them; talk
I Don’t Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist (9-12)
I Peter 3:15 says “Always be prepared to give
an answer to everyone who asks you to give
the reason for the hope that you have,” and this
book offers the information you need to prepare
to give those answers. This hefty 400+ page
book will prepare believers to defend their faith
and offers solid research and scientific fact for
those who are skeptics, from the perspective of
two gentlemen who were atheists and came to
Christ through evidence.
This text explores the meaning of truth and
the truth of religion through evidence that
supports Bible content in the areas of origins,
miracles and signs of God, testimony to Jesus’
life, inspiration of the Word of God, and more.
The curriculum guide follows the text chapter by
chapter and is designed to help students remember and understand the content presented in the
text. This guide is published by Apologia and
co-authored by Frank Turek & Chuck Winter.
Frank is also one of the authors of the text, so
the two books work together flawlessly for a
complete one-year study of worldview and apologetics. The curriculum guide presents supplemental material, study questions, and activities
for discussion, writing, and reflection. There is
no answer key for the guide, but the author suggests that most answers can be found easily in
the text, and sometimes page numbers are given
to help you find them. Each lesson begins with
pages to read from the text, important vocabulary with space to write their definitions, and
four sections titled hook, book, look, and took.
Hook is designed to get your attention and make
you think; Book takes you deeper into the topic
covered in the chapter; Look allows opportunities for the student to research assignments or
other suggested activities; and Took summarizes
the information and helps you apply it. A DVD
series has been developed which features Frank

but it isn’t required to complete the course.
This course is easy to read and presents arguments for Christianity in a truly logical fashion.
Humorous anecdotes are presented to reinforce
some topics, and biographical information of
some very famous scientists dot the landscape
of this text and curriculum. Even if you don’t
want to use this as a high school course/elective, the text is an interesting read for anyone
who has questions or wants to know how to
defend their faith.

Thinking Like a Christian (7-AD)
Well-known for their work in the area of
worldviews, this is another course from David
Noebel and Chuck Edwards. In Understanding
the Times, Mr. Noebel let Christianity and the
other three main worldviews speak for themselves. In a number of different topics that were
compared through the filter of these different
worldviews, Christianity clearly came out as the
most logical, most thorough, and most truthful
worldview. Now, in this study of worldviews,
we take a closer look at the Christian worldview
as it applies to the following areas: thinking
about worldviews (what is a worldview), theology, philosophy, biology, psychology, ethics,
sociology, law, politics, economics, and history. The last chapter does look at why Christians
should understand other worldviews and goes
on to explain briefly the Marxist/Leninist worldview, the Secular Humanist worldview, and
the Cosmic Humanist worldview. There are a
number of different components to this course
which can be used independently or in a combined study for the best learning experience.
As well as the Teaching Textbook, which is
the book that contains the text for the above
topics, there is a Student Journal, a DVD, and
a CD Learner's Guide (which is included in
the Teaching Textbook). The chapters in the
Student Journal correspond with the chapters in
the Teaching Text, each chapter containing five
daily exercises making this a five-days-a-week,
twelve week course. This should give plenty
of time for students to take in the sometimes
heavy ideas which are a part of the study and
understanding of worldviews. The DVD is
a 60-minute long, documentary-style aid for
review and summary. The 45 minute CD-ROM
is an interactive format that introduces students
to each week's new topic. It has lesson plans
and other resources such as creative activities,
worksheets, reproducible handouts, and adaptable teaching outlines. The Student Journal is
consumable, and both it and the textbook have
black and white photos throughout. This is a
very comprehensive worldviews course written
by people with years of experience educating
Christians in what it means to have a thoroughly
consistent Christian worldview. Your worldviews studies will be headed in the right direction with this set. ~ Zach

Countering Culture (7-AD)
After completing Thinking Like a Christian, you
have a firm grasp on the differences between
the western worldviews, you are aware of the
extent to which our society is affected by these
worldviews, and you even have the necessary
weapons (arguments, examples, and proofs)
for battle – but will your plans survive contact
with the enemy? What you need is a “game
plan to counter every move you’ll face in a
world of ideas that are armed and dangerous.”
This follow-up to Thinking Like a Christian will
equip you with the confidence and ability to
clash swords with the anti-Christian worldviews
you will encounter every time you step out the
door. Looking at each worldview in turn, this
study will show that the Bible is grounded in
reality; that secular humanism, postmodern
Marxism, and cosmic humanism are clearly
not based on reality; how to stand firmly and
reasonably on biblical principles both in the
classroom and the boardroom; and how to identify where New Age and Marxist thinking leads
us astray. The CD-ROM (good for PC or Mac)
accompanying the book includes lesson plans,
class handouts and outlines that are useful
for homeschool parents, youth group leaders,
Sunday school teachers, and instructors of high
school students, college students, or adults. The
companion DVD brings you to the forefront of
the debate – revealing the beliefs and motives of
the humanists and Marxists. Through interviews
with prominent anti-Christian philosophers and
counterpoints from grounded Christian thinkers, you will see the unshakeable truth of the
biblical worldview come through every time.
Countering Culture complements and expands
the Thinking Like a Christian study. Running
time for the DVD is approximately 84 minutes.
Text is 180 pgs, pb, and includes the CD-ROM.

visual effects. Also included on each DVD are
pdf files that include a leader’s guide, teaching scripts, and student handouts as well as
PowerPoint slides. Some of this information is
incorporated into the Lightbearers course and
some is additional.
The Homeschool Teaching Package includes
everything you need for one student – Teacher

Lightbearers Worldview Curriculum (8)
Lightbearers has a twofold goal. To keep the
Christian student from being deceived by antiChristian worldviews and to train him to actively
live out the truth of Christianity in a culture of
relativism and confusion. Summit Ministries
knows how to accomplish those goals. Through
the use of Bible passages, movie clips, thoughtprovoking films, video teaching segments, reading selections, discussion questions, writing
assignments, video lectures, and writing assignments the student is introduced to various
worldview perspectives and drawn into a realization that ideas have consequences. Although
targeting a younger student (middle school),
many of the same concepts and questions are
examined as the other worldview curriculum
from Summit – Understanding the Times and
its Sunday School counterparts, Thinking Like a
Christian and Countering the Culture. There are
ten units plus an introduction and conclusion
covering these topics: theology, philosophy,
ethics, biology, psychology, sociology, law,
politics, economics, and history. Each unit is
covered in a fifteen-day lesson plan that incorporates material from the DVDs, readings from
How to be Your Own Selfish Pig, and material
from the student text. At all points the student
is encouraged to think about, talk about, and
Understanding the Times 2nd Edition (11-12)
Ideas have consequences! For over fifteen
years young Christians have been trained by
Dr. David Noebel and Summit Ministries to
understand the times; to recognize both the
ideas that permeate our world cultures and their
consequences as well as the appropriate biblical response. In 2006, the product was revised
and updated. Although all of these updated
publications have a 2006 copyright, the 500page hardcover textbook is called the “second
abridged and revised edition,” while the 313page student workbook and the 519-page coilbound teacher manual are labeled 4th editions.
Regardless, they fit together to form a comprehensive, well-designed, challenging course.
Six worldviews are presented: Christian,
Islamic, Secular Humanist, Marxist-Leninist,
Cosmic Humanist, and Postmodern. Each of
these worldviews has a distinctive impact on
theology, philosophy, ethics, biology, psychology, sociology, law, politics, economics, and
history. An examination of each worldview
within each subject area comprises the 10-unit
heart of the study sandwiched between an
introduction and conclusion. The course can
be covered either in one or two semesters and
the units have a detailed lesson plan for each.
The lesson plans include video presentations
778
Bible
and discussion questions, textbook reading
and discussion assignments, essay reading and
discussion assignments, a “Dear Doug” essay
writing assignment (letters to a fictional college
friend addressing worldview questions), and
a unit test. A worldview paper is required at
the end of Unit 5 as well as a comprehensive
exam at the end of the course. Fact Sheets
found both in the Student and Teacher manuals
provide helpful resources for college research
and writing assignments. If you’re wondering
about the difference between the 90-day (one
semester) syllabus and the 180-day (two semesters) syllabus, there are fewer video segments,
no “Dear Doug” letter essays, and fewer reading
assignments in the shorter version. It’s possible
to receive college credits (three for 180-day; two
for 90-day) from Bryan College by submitting
your work for approval.
The textbook is the source for the reading
assignments. The student manual provides reading, video, and essay discussion questions as
well as a fill-in-the-blank outline for each video
presentation. There are also essays (additional
assigned reading) and the “Dear Doug” letter
writing assignments. All scripture references
are NKJV. The teacher manual provides answers
and talking points for the reading, video, and
essay discussion questions, filled-in video outlines, a rough outline of desired “Dear Doug”
responses, test answers, grading suggestions and
the research paper requirement. The teaching
package includes the textbook, student manual,
and teacher manual plus six CD-ROMs and two
DVDs with the video presentations. ~ Janice

Starting Points (7-12)
This course offers students the materials for
building a biblical worldview. Besides reading
and contemplating a handful of recommended
books, students will have the opportunity to
further form and express their own opinions
through five included writing assignments. The
book is composed of 33 weeks of study, divided
into four different sections. For the first nine
weeks, students focus on building the biblical
worldview. They read How to Read Slowly,
Answers for Difficult Days and Know What
You Believe, answering questions and analyzing statements. This book provides worksheets
with outlines and questions for students to
complete. After studying these two books for
seven weeks, an eighth week is devoted to the
first writing assignment, an essay for the student
to write about their personal worldview. An
outline with specific guidelines and questions
to address is included to help the student complete their essay. For the next nine weeks, students identify literature based upon the biblical
worldview. In this section, students will several
books and watch a couple of videos to determine if they're based on the biblical worldview.
These books include several of The Chronicles
of Narnia, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde, and The Deadliest Monster, and the videos are It's a Wonderful Life and The Wizard of
Oz. While reading and watching these sources,
See page vi for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels.
students will compare and contrast key characters, places and events to biblical themes, God,
and the biblical worldview. Thought provoking
questions encourage students to think about
the inspiration and meanings behind some of
these writings and scripts. After completing The
Chronicles of Narnia, students complete another
essay about the world of Narnia. Again, an
outline with aids them in their formation of
ideas, topic sentences, organization, and overall
layout. A third essay is written upon the completion of Frankenstein, in which readers carefully examine author Mary Shelley's worldview
following the provided outline. Next, students
read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and then examine
Robert Louis Stevenson's worldview through
an essay. By the end of these nine weeks,
students should be well equipped to evaluate
whether or not literature is based on the biblical worldview. The next nine-week section is
entitled Speaking the Biblical Worldview into
the Culture. Students learn three approaches
for talking with non-Christians in the 21st
century. Here, students resume reading Know
Why You Believe and also Mere Christianity
and Assumptions. Students examine the topics
presented by answering question and studying
the texts. Questions such as "Is Christianity
Rational?" "Did Christ Rise from the Dead?"
"Why Does God Allow Suffering and Evil?" and
"Is Christian Experience Valid?" are discussed
in Know Why You Believe. Mere Christianity
presents the topics "Law of Human Nature,"
"The Three Parts of Morality," "Forgiveness," and
"Counting the Cost." Assumptions cover issues
of cultural assumptions, the value of human life,
and separation of church and state. All three
of these books offer extensive explanations of
a wide variety of both important and foundational topics. The section Founding of a Nation
Based Upon the Biblical Worldview includes
six weeks spent studying the book Never Before
in History. This book explores the political
and religious backdrop for the founding of the
United States and the ideas the founding fathers
used to write the Declaration and the Bill of
Rights. In the second week students write their
last essay, concerning political and religious
backdrop. The final two weeks of the course are
devoted to tying up loose ends. These chapters
offer final thoughts and questions along with a
short tie into the next book, World Views of the
Western World. 479 pgs. - Melissa

WorldViews of the Western World (9-12)
A comprehensive classical high school study,
yet something totally different than a typical
compilation of high school courses! OK, so
exactly what is it? This question is not easily answered. Each one a year’s worth of
study, these courses can best be described as a
research and teaching syllabus integrating seven
areas of interdisciplinary study: literature, art,
music, economics, philosophy/theology, science, and government. Written directly to the
student, the author, David Quine, has a stated
threefold purpose: 1) to give students the ability to stand against the thoughts and ideas of the
secular culture, 2) to give students an adequate
and logical defense for the hope they have within them, and 3) to give students the ability to
take the truth of Christianity into the various disciplines. While this may sound both desirable
and lofty, these volumes provide the framework
for the study to equip students to accomplish the
goals. The syllabus includes a weekly teaching
overview, study notes, commentaries, outlines,
short essay questions, and essay questions.
Drawing from a vast list of resources and incorporating them into an in-depth examination of
the underlying and surrounding worldview, the
study is organized around the progression of
Christianity through history. Special attention
is given to the writings of Dr. Frances Schaeffer,
and his video/book series, How Shall We Then
Live, forms the study’s core and the perspective
through which historical, literary, artistic, and
musical works are examined. Completion of all
three volumes produces the equivalent of three
credits in literature (ancient, medieval, modern),
and one credit each in composition, philosophy/
theology, music history and appreciation, art
history and appreciation, western civilization,
humanities, world history, American history,
American government, political theory, and science history. An experienced observer would
quickly note that only math and lab sciences
(and perhaps foreign language) are needed to
round out a high school transcript. The organization and flow of these courses are excellent. Graphics and presentation are orderly
and appealing. The author’s commentary and
instruction is practical and invaluable. One
small quibble I have is the bound format. I
would be sorely tempted to remove the binding, hole-punch the pages, and place them into
a binder. In fact, since the student is expected
to write directly into the worktexts, which are
each a massive 1 - 2” thick, it’s the only workable plan (in my opinion), although the author
prefers the idea of the student completing these
worktexts as a resource. As I consider the possibility of using these with my students (wistfully,
since all are past high school), I’m troubled by
the lack of any sort of answer key. While a
typical answer key might not be practical since
answers tend to be short or long essays, nevertheless some talking points would have been
greatly appreciated. While any student would
undoubtedly profit greatly from completing the
work on his own, nevertheless it would seem
that at least part of the value would be in family
discussions. Without the author’s expertise or
an ability to keep up with the reading, much of
the material covered is daunting, and only an
intrepid or determined parent will venture into
those waters. ~ Janice

Answers for Difficult Days: Surviving the
Storm of Secularism (7-12)
"We are no longer to be children, tossed here
and there by waves, and carried about by every
wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by
craftiness in deceitful scheming: but speaking
the truth in love." (Eph. 4:14). This powerful
study from the Word of God guides the reader
in developing an appropriate and accurate
world view, and equips him to answer such vital
questions as:
Is there a God? If so, what is He like?
What is the nature of the universe and its
origin?
What is the essential nature of man?
What is the basis of ethics and morality?
What is the cause of evil and suffering?
What happens to man at death?
What is the meaning of history?
Author David Quine (Let Us Highly Resolve)
challenges Christians to thoroughly examine the
Scriptures for the answers to these questions,
and to use the Biblical world view as the standard for making personal decisions and evaluating the thoughts and ideas of others. ~ Rachel

How to Be Your Own Selfish Pig (7-AD)
Susan Schaeffer Macaulay grew up in L'Abri
in Switzerland which was founded by her parents, Frank and Edith Schaeffer. The Schaeffers
wanted to provide a place where people could
come to get away from the outside world and
think about, read, and discuss the big issue of
life - the purpose of their life in this world. The
ultimate goal was to lead people to God, or to
strengthen their relationship with God. Susan
and her husband Ranald were carrying on the
work of her parents in England when this book
was written in 1982. The book is a basic overview of worldviews. In its 12 short chapters, we
meet various people with divergent viewpoints
about God: the God of the Bible; the God who
would never send anyone to hell; there is no
god; there are many gods; the physical world
is just an illusion; and whatever you believe is
OK as long as you believe it sincerely. We also
see why believing in the God of the Bible is the
only view that makes sense. I used this book
for devotions with our four oldest kids for about
three weeks. They now understand that knowing
what a person believes will enable each of us to
be a more effective witness to that person. Now,
to put it into practice...

Deadliest Monster: Introduction to Worldviews
(8-AD)
This may be my new favorite worldview book.
Author J.F. Baldwin compares worldviews to
the characters of Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde. Frankenstein’s monster represents all other worldviews which believe man
is innately good. Jekyll and Hyde represent
the Christian worldview which believes man is
born in sin. Christians, members of the “Hyde”
crowd, must know what they believe and what
sets Christianity apart from other worldviews.
The author gives a brief overview of different
worldviews in understandable language, so that
even the beginner can understand this complex
topic. Interesting real-life stories are used to
drive home the different lessons. He discusses
blind faith, good works and selfishness in relation to all the worldviews. Does your worldview require you to be selfish and look out for
number one, or does it call you to show mercy
and live a selfless, sacrificial life? This book will
cause you to ask questions about things you see
and hear in the world around you; moreover it
will help you understand why you believe certain things. Are you most like Frankenstein or
Hyde? 271 pgs, pb – Donna

The deadly influence of seven dead men is
unearthed in this book by Dave Breese: Marx,
Wellhausen, Keynes, Darwin, Dewey, Freud
and Kierkegaard. While you may not recognize
some of these names, the theories and influences their ideas have had on society will probably
be familiar to you. This is an excellent book
to use in introducing your high schoolers to
alternate worldviews. Prepare your children to
recognize and defend themselves against these
philosophies that “just won’t die.”

☼Switch on Your Brain (9-AD)
If you’ve ever wondered whether anything you
do will make a difference, read this book. Dr.
Caroline Leaf has written a book that can help
you live a healthier and happier life. Based on
her work with brain-damaged clients, it reveals
a Biblically-based system of focusing and renewing your thoughts that can help you detox and
retrain your brain. Whether your problems are
physical or psychological, her 5-step program
will show you how to literally rewire your brain
and align itself with your mind. She teaches us
about neuroplasticity - the ability of the mind
to change your brain Your brain literally can
be transformed (the renewing of your mind) in
about 63 days A dedicated scientist and Christfollower, Dr. Leaf merges neurological scientific
discovery seamlessly with the Word and presents fascinating and life-changing evidence that
we can use to re-orient and correct our brains.
Here are a just a few quotes from that book:
¾¾ The process of thinking and choosing is
the most powerful thing in the universe
after God, and it is a phenomenal gift
from God to be treasured and used properly.
¾¾ The law of entanglement in quantum
physics states that relationship is the
defining characteristic of everything in
space and time…
…Everything and
everyone is linked, and we all affect each
other.
¾¾ You are not a victim of your biology; you
can control your reactions to events and
circumstancest
¾¾ To detox your thought life, you need to
remember it’s your thinking that will actually change your brain
¾¾ God was so serious about us capturing
our thoughts and renewing our minds that
he gave us science as encouragement.
¾¾ When you understand the power of your
thought life, [….], you truly begin to get
a glimpse of how important it is to take
responsibility for what you are thinking.
There is a lot of amazing material here, both
scientifically and experientially. Written for the
lay person, she explains the latest discoveries
about the brain in an understandable and interesting way. The first section of the book delves
into the eight “keys” on which her program is
based. She explains how the brain works, how
your mind can control matter, how your choices
impact your brain, how you can “take thoughts
captive”, why “milkshake-multitasking” is not
good for you, why your mind needs directed
rest, why you are not a victim of genetics and
your environment, and more. The rest of the
book explains the daily 5-step detox process in
detail and helps you get started. Summaries of
key points at the end of each chapter are helpful
both for reinforcement and later reference.
If you are feeling burdened by your past,
uncertain about yourself, fearful about the
future, or in an emotionally hopeless situation,
this book could change your life.

The Best Things in Life (9-AD)
What would happen if
Socrates returned to the present
and showed up on the college campus of Desperate State
University? What would he
think about the modern world?
This imaginative book by Peter
Kreeft invites you to sit in on
conversations that Socrates has
with Peter Pragma and Felicia Flake. Each character has six short Socratic dialogues examining
contemporary values like success, power, and
pleasure throughtopics such as money, God,
sex, government, music, and objective truth.
This page-turner poses simple, yet perplexing
philosophy within each conversation that will
stimulate ethical and moral reflection. Kreeft’s
humor is a little corny, but his presentation of
questions and conclusions is mind-opening and
spirit-challenging. I thoroughly enjoyed this
thought-provoking book. My only criticism is
that the dialogues contain a lot of fluff before
getting to the “meat.” I suppose it would take
me a while to reach a conclusion too if I was

How Should We Then Live DVD (7-AD)
What a blessing to have this series available on
DVD. Both timeless and prophetic in its content, Dr. Frances Schaeffer prepared this series
in the late 1970s. It’s just as valuable today as a
study of western civilization (art, culture, architecture, morals, law, and political life) and as an
examination of western thought and philosophy.
Used as a spine or recommended resource for
a number of history/worldview courses, it’s also
a stand-alone “seminar.” The two DVD set
includes a ten part lecture series; each lecture
about 30 minutes. Don’t expect a talking head,
though. Ancient cultural and historical artifacts,
art masterpieces, on-location cinematography,
and Dr. Schaeffer’s inimitable style complete
with Swiss native costume, make these DVDs
an enjoyable learning experience that bridges
the decades. ~ Janice

Notes from the Tilt-A-Whirl DVD (9-AD)
Planet Earth: Tilt-A-Whirl. Think a minute
and you’ll begin to see the connection. If fact,
thinking will be what you do with every minute
watched of this DVD. Combining captivating cinematography – visual impact images with articulate “thinking out loud,” this DVD
addresses the “hard” questions of philosophy
and Christianity – evil, death, existence, etc.
We are challenged to “confront our unbelief and
petty fears so that the goodness and greatness of
God might astound us and fill our hearts with
gratitude and joy.” (Scott Anderson, Executive
Director, Desiring God). This sort of visual/
thinking exercise (a bookumentary) is a great
addition to a worldview or high school Bible
course and would work well both in a family
discussion setting or a small group/co-op. ~

Assumptions that Affect Our Lives (AD)
All one needs to do is open the newspaper,
listen to a political debate, watch a recent
Hollywood film, or pay attention to any number of other things involving, or composed
by, humans to understand that at the basis of
every idea and thought are certain assumptions.
These assumptions, and the beliefs that are connected to them, are, in essence, the worldview
of the person holding them. This book, then, is
essentially a look at worldviews and the values
that spring from them to influence behavior and
shape the culture in which we live. Author
Christian Overman traces foundational assumptions all the way back to the ancient Greeks
See page vi for key to Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act warning labels.
and examines the assumptions held in five key
areas – God, creation, humanity, moral order,
and purpose. The overall goal of the book is
to “…help people better understand the times
in which we live – so we will know what to
do…” as in I Chronicles 12:32. A very practical and down-to-earth book that really brings an
awareness of just how important those deeply
held thoughts are. Chapters end with a short
summary and a handful of thought provoking
discussion questions. 192 pgs, pb. ~ Zach

Postmodern Times (AD)
The apostle Paul was an effective evangelist in
the first century because he was able to understand how people of a different culture thought
about the important issues of life, then helped
them connect their beliefs to the truth of God.
For the church to be successful today, we need
the same skill. You would think this should
be easy, since we live in our own culture, but
author Gene Edward Veith, Jr. believes some of
us have missed the transition from modernism
to postmodernism. Modernism was marked
by a belief in scientific rationalism, humanism, and bias against the past. Postmodernism
maintains that there is no absolute truth, that
all truth is relative. While a modernist might
believe that Christianity is not true because of
some perceived scientific or historical conflict,
a postmodernist believes that Christianity is
not true because it cannot be the only truth or
the absolute truth, and is therefore dismissed
because it is intolerant. This is the overview.
Veith, a regular contributor to World Magazine,
delves into details in four major areas: thought,
art (including architecture, television, movies,
and literature), society (family, government,
and daily life), and religion. I generally avoid
philosophy-type books because they are often
difficult to understand, but this book is very
readable and gives specific examples, an important step in helping me grasp ethereal concepts.
Well worth reading to get a handle on what
passes for thinking in our times. 256 pgs, pb.

Consequences of Ideas (9-AD)
Idea – “a concept developed by the mind;
a conception of what is desirable or ought to
be.” Although some ideas may seem fleeting
and intangible, the effects can shape the world.
R.C. Sproul offers the thought that philosophers
since early time have shaped our world, and
being familiar with their ideas will help us
influence this culture for Christ. He traces philosophy from ancients to modern day – Plato
and Aristotle to Darwin and Freud. The ideas
of these thinkers have influenced generations of
people and the consequences are lasting. R.C.
Sproul looks at the ideas of these men through
the lens of scripture as he points out the good
and bad effects of their thoughts, and the con-
sequences of their teachings. This book doesn’t
offer a comprehensive list of all philosophers of
all time, but it offers enough of the big names in
the field of philosophy to understand the point
Mr. Sproul is making. There really are consequences to ideas, as the ideas of the past have
influenced our present, they will also affect our
future. 224 pgs, pb. ~ Donna

Socrates Meets Jesus (9-AD)
Subtitled History’s Greatest Questioner
Confronts the Claims of Christ, this book
attempts to answer the interesting questions,
“What would happen if Socrates suddenly
awoke on the campus of a major university and
enrolled in the divinity school? What would he
think of human progress since his day? How
would he react to our values? To our culture?
And what would he think of Jesus?” The author,
a Christian philosopher, has imagined this scenario, and created a drama portraying these
events. This book leads you through logical
reasoning that may reinforce Christian beliefs
through a fresh examination of many modernday assumptions. The book is an entertaining
supplement to logic studies, and an interesting
read for Biblical studies. 182 pgs, pb ~ Caryl

☼Philosophy 101 by Socrates: An Introduction
to Philosophy Via Plato’s Apology (10-AD)
Not everyone has an interest in philosophy,
but if you do, this book is a very understandable
introduction to the topic. Quoting the Apology
of Socrates by Plato, the author makes philosophy an interesting study. Socrates is simple and
to the point concerning the topic of philosophy
and his teachings are well-respected. “Forty
things philosophy is” is the framework for
this book, as it seeks to explain the subject.
Philosophy is ignorant, selfish, ironic… Written
in terms that make sense to the average reader,
philosophy becomes a topic that you can apply
to all other aspects of life. This book is only
148 pages, but really sums up the subject in an
enjoyable manner. ~ Donna

Islam
I Dared to Call Him Father (9-AD)
This book is a fascinating, true story of a
prominent Muslim woman who converted to
Christianity. Bilquis Sheikh was a respected
landowner living in Wah, Pakistan. She lived
comfortably in a house with a large garden and
several servants and handmaidens to help her.
One evening as she was walking in her garden, she sensed a presence that frightened her,
but also begins her journey of searching. She
became increasingly interested in Christianity,
and began reading passages of the Bible and
the Koran simultaneously. After continued
searching, God used an incident and a nun to
approach Bilquis and show her that she needed
to approach God as her Father. This is a startling revelation to Bilquis, but she soon thereafter comes to Christ and is filled with blessed joy.
As Christians are shunned and even persecuted
in Pakistan, almost instantaneously after Bilquis
is baptized she is shut off from her Islamic family. But Bilquis is able to feel God's presence
very strongly, and she continues to rely on Him
and let Him lead her in His will. It is amazing
to read about how clearly she can sense when
she is and is not in His will. Also amazing is
to see how far Bilquis Sheikh came, and all the
ways that the Lord has used her.

Unveiling Islam (9-AD)
The Caner brothers (Ergun and Emir), both
Christian converts from Islam, suffered the
painful rejection of their father, who saw their
change of heart as a rejection of Allah for which
they could not be forgiven. Twenty-two years
later, as he lay dying of cancer, the authors
were once again face-to-face with the man who
was their hero, and his last wish was for each of
them to read the Qur’ran in its entirety, hoping
they might find their way back to the beliefs he
had raised them to hold. Their book, subtitled
An Insider’s Look At Muslim Life and Beliefs,
instructs the reader on the major facets of this
all-encompassing way of life extending beyond
the mosque deep into the very institutions of the
government wherever possible. In many ways,
Islam has always been more cultural than spiritual in nature. In order to effectively witness to
Muslims, it’s necessary to understand this culture so that we do not offend them and close the
door. The end of the book is dedicated to giving
the reader specific tools towards that end. We
need to be mindful of this group that numbers
more than 1 billion followers. 251 pgs. ~ Tom

Window on the World: When We Pray God
Works (PK-AD)
Want a great resource to help introduce your
children to some of the countries and people
groups throughout the world? This book, in
each two page spread, will do just that! Our
introduction to Hazara, for example, had the
following: a history telling us that the Hazara
people are descendants of Genghis Khan’s
army, a piece on life in Hazarajat (the region
in Afghanistan where the Hazara live), color
photographs of people and places, a factfile
containing facts about where Hazaras live and
how many there are in the world, a story about
a Hazara refugee who became a Christian convert, two maps, a Did You Know? piece on the
religion of the Hazara, a list of things we can
thank God for (one item on the list was the
Christian radio programs in Dari, a language
most Hazara people know) and a list of things
we should ask God for. Other people we
learn about include Gypsies, New Zealanders,
Azerians, Greecians, Jolas, Refugees and Street
Children (in general), and Uruguayans etc.
While reading about terrible cruelties and conditions in other countries, the book still maintains an amazing optimism as it shares answered
prayers in various countries and faith in God.

Fulfilling the commission given by Jesus before
His ascent requires some preparation. Just like
any other skill worth possessing, the effective
sharing of the Gospel has to be learned. While
there is not just one correct way to witness, this
course very clearly lays out an effective, triedand-true method. In 132 lessons, the author
takes you by the hand, leading you through
preparation, presentation and beyond. Scripted
with sample conversations and hypothetical
situations, Sandi Queen builds one lesson upon
the next at a gentle pace that you can progress
through at the schedule that suits you best. Her
method is built around four main points: 1.
You are a sinner. 2. You owe a wage for your
sin. That wage is death. 3. Jesus Christ already
paid the wage for your sin, and offers it to you
as a free gift. 4. Like any free gift, you need to
receive it willingly for it to become yours. Sandi
suggests regular practice and role-playing with
partners to hone your conversational skills and
abilities – and incorporates the use of this into
her lessons. You will find this course easy to
use and gracious.

This now classic missionary story by Bruce
Olson tells the true story of his life. It
shares his conflicted religious upbringing
in a Lutheran church and his finding a new
church as a teenager, even though it caused
friction in his family. It shares how he was
called to become a missionary, the steps
(emotional, spiritual, and physical) he took
to prepare himself, and how he ended up
with the Motilone Indians. It tells the amazing story of how he, at the young age of 19,
was captured by the Indians and how he
overcame disease, terror, loneliness, and
torture to bring the love of Christ to the tribal
people. The way in which he submerged
himself into the lives of the people has
become a model that most missionaries to
tribal areas follow to this day. 192 pgs, pb.

Doorstep . . . . . . . . 14.99 10.95
Be inspired by the work of Floyd McClung
as he endeavors to take the message of the
Gospel to people in the midst of sin and
evil. In India, to Kabul, Afghanistan, and
eventually to Amsterdam, this is the story of
the McClung family's ministry to lost souls
in places that many others would not dream
of taking it.
008381 Peace Child . . . . . . 14.99 11.50
Into a primitive tribal setting where deception and treachery are the marks of a real
warrior, venture Don and Carol Richardson
- equipped with the message of the Gospel.
But what do they find? The headhunters of Irian Jaya have more admiration for
Judas than for Jesus - betrayal is better than
sacrifice. It takes the discovery of a tribal
custom - the Peace Child - before the Sawi
can understand the Gospel. Written by Don
Richardson himself and including an epilogue update on the Sawi people 30 years
after the events recorded in Peace Child.

012159 Torches of Joy . . . . 14.99 10.95
Back in 1960, the Dani tribes-people of Toli
Valley still used only stone tools and had
no written language. Not many years later,
they took the dangerous step from Stone Age
to twentieth century. At this time, John and
Helen Dekker arrived as missionaries to this
Irian Jaya civilization. This book tells the
true story of the family that was called to
help the Dani discover the gospel of Jesus
Christ. The Danis became a tribe committed to reaching and teaching other tribes,
and today there are 79 churches and over
13,000 believers in Toli Valley. An inspiring, true story of God's grace and power.

God Spoke Tibetan (6-AD)
Have you ever tried to read the notes about
how things were translated at the beginning of
your Bible? Unless you’re really into linguistics
or translating, it’s pretty boring and hard to follow. For that reason I wasn’t expecting much
when I picked up this book about how the Bible
was translated into the native Tibetan language.
However, the book is surprisingly fast-paced,
and I found the story both interesting and inspirational. Many seemingly small and incidental
events transpired to begin and continue the
work it took to translate the Tibetan Bible. It
took an incredible ninety years of perseverance
through trials like revolutions, storms, persecution from the extremely Buddhist government
and people, wars, avalanches, and of course the
incredible language barrier. This is an entertaining and informative look at how God’s Word
was brought to a dark and forbidden country. By

☼India’s Street Kids (7-12)
Written by a missionary who
served in India, these books
tell the story of Jasmina and
Samir, two poor children who
live in India. A stranger comes
to the family’s home and
offers the children an education; then everything changes.
In Capturing Jasmina, the
children are sold to the stranger only to find
out that their education will not come from a
school, but from a sweatshop factory as slaves.
Samir accepts his fate, but Jasmina never stops
looking for an escape. After they are sold a
few times, Jasmina escapes without Samir and
lives on the street until she discovers a group of
Christians who take care of her.
In Buying Samir, Jasmina wants to have her
family again so badly that she leaves the safety of
the missionary home and searches for her brother until she finds him. He now works for the man
who originally bought him, but his mind has
been twisted. Will she ever get her brother back?
These books present a realistic look at human
trafficking. A few sensitive topics are mentioned, such as abuse and prostitution, but without graphic descriptions. I definitely enjoyed
hearing the story from a young girl’s perspective
and think these would be a great read for a high
school age child who is interested in social justice or working as a missionary. Approximately

Trial and Triumph: Stories from Church
History (4-AD)
The good news is that, as Christians, we know
how the story turns out - we win! The bad
news is that, as Christians, we often have trials,
some very unpleasant, along the way. Trial and
Triumph: Stories from Church History presents
46 gripping stories of brothers and sisters in
Christ who stood firm in the face of bitter persecution. The brief four to five page biographies
of such greats as Polycarp, Tyndale, Luther,
Calvin, William Carey and Hudson Taylor show
what God can do through ordinary people who
trust and obey Him. It is inspiring to read of
these men and women who defied ungodly
authority, whether in the church or in civil government, and stood on the Word of God.
Polycarp was a leader in the early Christian
church at Smyrna during a time of Roman persecution. When he was seized, Polycarp was
told to swear an oath to Caesar or he would be
fed to the lions; but he refused. He was told to
swear an oath to Caesar or he would be burned
at the stake; but he refused. As the flames were
about to end his earthly life, he shouted out a
prayer of praise to the Lord.
Elizabeth was the beautiful daughter of the king
of Hungary. She was filled with compassion
for her people during a time of great famine.
Against the wishes of the royal advisors, she
emptied the grain bins and personally gave
clothing and meals to the poor. After the death
of her husband, Elizabeth was put out on the
street. She continued to praise God for allowing her to serve the poor and began spinning
wool to earn a living. When her father found
out about her circumstances, he begged her to
come back and share in his inheritance. But
Elizabeth said that she had already received her
inheritance from her Father in heaven, the eternal mercy of her Lord Jesus Christ. She served
the poor until her death from a fever at age 24.
This book is excellent material for family reading or individual inspiration. - Jerry

Christian Heroes: Then and Now (5+)
When I compared this series to a similar
series, I favored this one for several reasons.
The stories are told in a very personable way,
allowing the reader to feel like he really knows
the person. While it's not told in first-person,
the details and emotions make it seem like that
person is actually sharing their own story. This
series also goes into more detail, including their
childhood, so you can see how they were raised
and what they were like in their youth. Instead
of just telling the facts, you read about funny
instances that happened to them, things they
probably wrote home about to give their family
and friends a laugh. As you read about their
life you can see the hand of God leading them,
and how they faithfully strive to serve Him,
even when it seems impossible. My sample
was Amy Carmichael, who was a very obedient
woman. When everyone told her to stay, she
went anyway, because she knew God was calling her. She traveled, overcoming many disappointments to carry the Word of God to people
in India and Japan. These are really uplifting
books; seeing how obediently the men and
women followed God is truly inspiring.
Several of the biographies are now available
as audiobooks on CD. These run about 4-5
hours in length and are a great format to enjoy
as a family. Biographies of women are read by
a woman and biographies of men are read by a
man. - Stephanie

Daughters of Faith Series (5-AD)
This well-written series introduces girls of
today with godly young women of the past in a
well-crafted blend of fact and historical fiction.
Although each of these girls endured hardships
that we rarely encounter today, their strong faith
in God saw them through and enabled them
to accomplish great things as well. Because
their stories are true, and the focus is on a girl
or young woman (a minority in most historical
biographies!), this inspiring series introduces
girls to solid role models they've probably
never even heard of and reminds readers of the
things we can accomplish and difficulties we
can survive by looking to God for help. As a
bonus, each story also is set in a rich, historical
backdrop that will enrich the reader's appreciation for history. A glossary is included for less
familiar, or antiquated words. - Jess

The story of Brother Andrew, from his first

Brother Andrew tells the story himself, and
what a story it is! Taking Bibles and the Gospel
to foreign countries can be challenging at the

when Brother Andrew filled his car with Bibles

Narrow Road (6-AD)
As Christians in a Western world, we are not
accustomed to the idea of persecution for our
faith. People in many parts of the world do
suffer for their beliefs, and sometimes it can be
hard to fathom. Brother Andrew has written
God’s Smuggler as a description of what life
in countries with religious persecution is like.
This amazing man of God smuggled Bibles
into many parts of the world to be a blessing to
those unfortunate enough not to possess them.
Now, in this distinctive book, Brother Andrew
and John and Elizabeth Sherrill have combined
other stories of persecution and travel to restrictive countries with Brother Andrew’s book.
Throughout the pages are scattered inserts of
stories from such places as Columbia, China,
Peru, Ethiopia, and Vietnam. These inserts
fall into four different categories: A Traveler’s
Story, Diary of a Smuggler, Around the Globe,
and Imagine This. A Traveler’s Story contains
personal testimonies of those people living in
nations that persecute people for following
Christ. Diary of a Smuggler boxes are written by
people who have traveled to restrictive countries
through Open Doors to encourage the people
there. Around the Globe inserts provide brief
statistics about religions in individual countries
and a summation of what the Church is facing
in those locations; Imagine This are questions at
the end of the chapters that ask ethical questions
or present scenarios with dilemmas that allow
you to determine what you would do if placed
in those circumstances. This book is great for
motivating you in your faith and opening your
eyes to the present situation of Christians around
the world. 330 pgs, pb. – John

My Heart in His Hands: Ann Judson of Burma
(8-AD)
Adoniram Judson was one of the best-known
missionaries of the early nineteenth century.
Much has been written about this remarkable
man who spread the gospel to the Burmese
people. But what about his first wife, Ann
Judson? At only twenty years old, this young
woman accompanied her husband to Asia as
one of America’s first overseas missionaries.
This biography tells Ann’s incredible story.
Primary sources are abundantly used, giving
Ann a real “voice” in this moving account of
her life. Readers will learn firsthand about her
challenges, triumphs, and spirituality through
her journals and letters. Each chapter focuses
on a specific year (or span of years), highlighting
significant events both in her family’s life and in
her quest to bring the Burmese to Christ. The
text also includes occasional black and white
illustrations, maps, a select bibliography, notes,
and an index. An appendix contains a summary of Ann’s legacy, her Address to Females
in America, Relative to the Situation of Heathen
Females in the East (1822), and a biographical sketch of Adoniram Judson. A fascinating,
inspirational story that shows what life was like
to be a Christian woman in the early nineteenth
century. By Sharon James. 237 pgs, pb. ~ Lisa

☼Orthodoxy (11-AD)
The writings of G.K. Chesterton have delighted
readers for over a century. His works include
plays, novels, poetry, literary commentary,
pamphlets, essays, and lectures. Perhaps it’s
only among my Facebook friends, but his quotes
show up regularly there. There’s probably an
app that spits one out daily. He’s loved because
he writes cleverly yet with straight forward perceptivity. This book might be classified as his
autobiography. He uses the analogy of a young
explorer that eagerly sets off to discover new
worlds. Thinking he has done so, he prepares
to go and conquer only to discover that he’s
landed practically in his own back yard. What
was this journey/discovery that ended so close
to home? A self-described pagan at age twelve
and totally agnostic by his sixteenth birthday,
his journey to find answers and explanations
landed him square in the middle of orthodox
Christianity. Once there, he spent the rest of his
long life in appreciation of both the journey and
the discovery. Only thirty-four when he wrote
this, it’s nevertheless a classic example of his
robust prose. It’s also a resource for Lightning

Saint Valentine (PK-3)
This lovely book shares the story of the poor
physician named Valentine who lived in ancient
Rome and helped the sick of that city without
thought of gain for himself. Valentine was a
Christian at a time when persecution was high,
but he nonetheless would pray to God to heal
each of his patients. Eventually martyred for his
faith, it is said that Valentine sent a short note
to a young blind girl from his prison cell before
his execution and her sight was restored. This
book shares this legendary story in a simple and

Christian History Made Easy (7-AD)
This book aims to increase Christians' knowledge of church history. It provides twelve
weeks of study to build your understanding.
Most people have little knowledge between the
apostles and the twentieth century. This book
fills in the gaps and offers a complete study of
church history from AD 64 to present day. After
an introduction, the book is broken into twelve
chapters, each spanning a wide range of years.
The chapters highlight key people and events,
such as Emperor Nero, the Crusades, Francis
of Assisi, John Wycliffe, the Gutenberg Bible,
the Anabaptists, King James I, the Salem witch
trials, Jonathan Edwards, Charles H. Spurgeon,
C.S. Lewis, and many more. The book is full of
information, yet very readable. Along the way,
boxes provide names and terms you should
know, web links, thought provoking questions,
various facts, and quotes from past people. The
back of the book contains a chapter-by-chapter
study guide, with activities built on comprehension questions, small/large group discussion
questions, prayers, worship ideas, and more.
This book is ideal for churches, schools, small
groups, homeschoolers, or individuals who
desire to grow in knowledge of Christianity and
the history of the church. - Melissa

☼Church History in Plain Language (AD)
Do you suffer from historical amnesia? Many
Christians do, holding knowledge of the church
from the New Testament and of their current
church denomination, but ignorant of the centuries in between. Sometimes that’s less true for
homeschoolers who have a stronger emphasis
on world history and thus know something
of the Church in ancient and medieval times.
However, whichever camp you identify with,
this is a book you will want for your library.
Written to be understood by the layperson, it
traces the history of the Christian church from
the Age of Jesus and the Apostles (6 BC – AD
70) through the Age of Catholic Christianity (AD
70-312), the Age of the Christian Roman Empire
(AD 312-590), the Christian Middle Ages (AD
590-1517), the Age of the Reformation (AD
1517-1648, the Age of Reason and Revival (AD
1648-1789), the Age of Progress (AD 17891914), the Age of Ideologies (AD 1914-1989),
and finally through the Age of Global Expansion
and Relocation (AD 1900-). Each section is
prefaced with a helpful timeline showing its key
personages and events. A few helpful maps,
additional timelines, and portraits provide the
only other illustrations. Although large, this
book is highly readable meaning two things:
firstly, I found it easy to flip anywhere, read a
few paragraphs and come away with a nugget
of historical information I had not known or
had forgotten. Secondly, the book lays open
easily; the result of a superior binding, I suppose. Reading up on church history may not
be your choice free time activity, but there are
likely to be times when high school students or
homeschooling moms/dads will need a good,
approachable reference. This is it! 540 pgs, pb.

5-Minute Bible Devotionals for Children (PK-3)
Having a devotional time with our youngest

parents, we have no greater desire than to see
that our children know and walk in the truth
of God’s Word. I think most of us can say that
getting our little ones to sit (mostly!) still for five
minutes is a realistic goal.
This charming devotional series is perfect for
little children. Taking five minutes per day,
devotions are presented in a two-page spread
and provide a simplified retelling of a Biblical
passage and its meaning. Children are then
asked reinforcement application questions to
help them fully understand the teachings. A
brief prayer and Bible verse (NLT) conclude
each devotional.
Each book contains 21 devotions from either
the Old Testament or the New Testament. A

Adam and Eve, Noah and the Flood, Joseph

A “perfect” family devotional. If the idea of
a “perfect’ anything bothers you a bit, reserve
judgment until after you hear all that’s packed
into this resource. First of all there are daily
devotionals centered around the awesomeness
or the uniqueness of various aspects of God’s
creation. Storms, common dirt, the mystery of
migration, trees, water, stars, sun, symbiosis,
critters we dislike, fruit, tides, senses, and so
much more. Each devotional is packed with
significant and interesting information with a
scripture reference and passage to be read as
the focal point. To really bring home the lessons
and applications of these devotionals as well as
to make the whole experience more enjoyable
for the youngest members of the family, there’s
also a weekly story. These stories can be divided
up, reading a little each day or read all at once
on a day that has more time available. As you
might expect, there are some questions; actually, there are two types of questions. Questions
for Review are easier, based on factual information and geared to a family’s younger children.
Questions for Discussion are for the older
children, giving them an opportunity to apply
the teachings to family life. There are thirteen
themes each with seven devotionals and a story.
A helpful scope and sequence chart in the back
of the book gives the family leader an overall
perspective as well as read-ahead information. Wholesome, interesting, God-honoring,
thought-provoking and faith-kindling. A “perfect” devotional resource. 348 pgs, pb ~ Janice

From the folks who brought you Educating
the Wholehearted Child, this devotional tool
expresses 24 Biblical values in six areas of
Christian life. These areas of emphasis include
authority, relationships, possessions, work, attitudes and choices. Each value is the basis for
a week (five days) of devotions. The book is in
a flip-chart format, although in a regular book
binding. The side facing the children shows a
quote emphasizing the virtue and appropriate
Scripture references in both NIV and NKJV. On
the parent side is the same information, plus
five days of questions for discussion, Bible references, ideas to talk about, and things to include
in prayer. Discussion points look interesting
and thought-provoking, and children from age
five or six through high school would be able
to participate. The 2nd edition also includes

Training Hearts Teaching Minds: Devotions
Based on the Shorter Catechism (K-AD)
What spiritual goals do you have for your children? I assume your primary goal is for each
child to have a real and vibrant relationship with
the Lord. But beyond that will you be satisfied
if they can recite stories from the Bible or do
you want them to be able to give succinct and
meaningful answers to the basic questions of the
Christian faith – What is grace? What is the gospel? The Westminster Shorter Catechism was
constructed to teach children (and all students of
the Bible) the biblical answers to these and other

Day by Day Devotions (1-5)
Looking to teach your children the importance of starting their day in the Word? Karyn
Henley, author of the popular Day by Day
Kid’s Bible, has given us a year’s worth of
devotions. Although the devotions have been
written to correlate with her aforementioned
Bible, she provides excerpts and Scripture references making it easy to use this as a stand-alone
devotional. Two volumes are currently available
and offer a similar format. Designed to take 7
minutes per day, each devotional book provides
52 weeks worth of weekday readings. Each
week focuses on a specific theme or topic, with
a short reading, Scripture reference and prayer.
End of the week lessons offer a “things you
can do this week” section. Parents can either
use these hands-on activities for a weekend
refresher or incorporate them during the week
to reinforce the short devotions. Parents and
children will find these devotions provide a fun
and memorable way to keep your children connected to God and His Word in a way they can
relate to. Pb. ~ Deanne

Sword Fighting (1-5)
No, mom, it's not a bad thing. This kind of
sword fighting involves memorizing Scripture,
the "sword of the Spirit," to fight temptation.
The book is really a devotional with a full year
of material. Each week a new Bible verse is
learned. The Bible verses are the response
verses that children can use when faced with
certain temptations; the temptation is listed
below the Bible verse. (The book recommends
making memory cards with the temptation on
one side and the Bible verse on the other.) The
child learns that when he faces this particular
temptation, recalling this Bible verse will help
him overcome the temptation. Each day during the week the student reads a segment of the
Bible which relates to the memory verse, discusses the segment, and practices "sword fighting" by drawing memory cards either alone or
in competition. To make it more fun, memory
cards can be cut out in the shape of a sword.

Jesus Calling: 365 Devotions for Kids (2-6)
Based upon the wildly popular book for adults
by the same name, this devotional for children
seeks to introduce them to our Immanuel, God
with us. The author shares her personal insights
of a God who is there for us no matter our situation; who is also the God who loves us and
will never leave us, regardless of our feelings.
Children and adults will be encouraged to think
seriously about Jesus, His presence and His
peace, and how to respond to His calling. Each
daily devotional reading begins with a Scripture
from the NIV Bible and ends with a Scriptural
reference allowing children to dig a little deeper. 382 pgs, hc. ~ Deanne

More Dangerous Devotions, these books have
been updated and expanded. They no longer
feature a climbing theme, and they now include
more background information, cultural explanations, more sidebars, and a more complete
coverage of the entire Old Testament and not
just up through Psalms. Comparative timeline
tidbits on the bottom of the pages place biblical
and secular history side by side, and there are
additional Internet sites for even more devotional lessons. Written by a veteran homeschooler,
these devotions guide students to take the Bible
seriously and really explore the God’s Word.

Jesus Calling - Teen Edition (7-11)
“Be still and know that I am God” is truly at the
heart of the Jesus Calling message. Knowing the
God who is there for us, no matter our situation;
knowing the God who loves us and will never
leave us, regardless of our feelings; essentially
coming to know God’s presence and His peace.
Yes, this is the God we are called to know and
worship. These daily readings are designed to
help you grow closer to God and experience His
peace and presence. Beginning with a Scripture
reference, there is a short devotional reading
along with additional verses to read and reflect
upon to enrich your quiet time. References
are primarily from the NIV, although others
are used too. While the content of this book
is unchanged from the original Jesus Calling
edition, the cover and inner pages have been
updated for teen appeal. 382 pgs, hc. ~ Deanne

Faith Factor Series (3-AD)
I became a Christian two years before we
began homeschooling. What I noticed about
homeschooling Christian families compared
to other Christian families was that the homeschooling families were more likely to take the
whole of God’s Word to heart. They seemed to
understand that the Bible would really change
your life if you took it seriously. In that same
spirit, Jackie Perseghetti has written these devotional books to challenge the young Christian to
learn and grow by getting into the Word. The
formats of the two books are identical but focus
on different parts of the Bible. Faith Factor NT
covers all the books of the New Testament while
Faith Factor OT covers all of the Old Testament.
Each devotion is broken into four sections and
based on a chapter or group of chapters from a
particular book of the Bible. Each section begins
with an overview of the section about to be
read. The devotion begins, appropriately, with
prayer. A Focus Question is presented to get
students thinking before they dive into Scripture.
Then, a key verse or passage is studied. The
final part of each lesson is a “Fruit” section
where the book asks pointed questions and
provides application statements. Much of the
devotion is a summarization and explanation of
the text from the Bible. Helpful historical or cultural tidbits are sprinkled throughout the pages.
Altogether, you get over 100 devotions in each
book and students will get a mature look at all
the books of the Bible while learning to apply
the content to their own lives. Previously titled

☼Action Bible Devotional: 52 Weeks of GodInspired Adventure (4-8)
Ready. Set. GO! This new devotional introduces young people to the adventure of a
lifetime-the adventure of knowing and walking
with God. Each week presents an illustrated
story from the Old or New Testament, a memory verse, devotional thoughts (called “X-Ray
Vision”), an assigned mission that applies the
devotional teaching, debriefing questions to
inspire Biblical living and a place to review
what the lessons.. There are also occasional
suggested activities to share with family or the
occasional creative, big picture page with activity ideas to drive home the main point of the
week.
Let me share the distinctive nuances of this
devotional. Week 35 begins with a reading of
the Temptation of Christ in the Desert (based on
Luke 4:1-13, Matthew 4:1-11 and John 1:35-51)
from the graphically illustrated Action Bible.
Next follows the key memory verse Matthew
4:4 (NLT), although you could memorize it from
your preferred version. X-Ray Vision shares a
scene from the Classic Star Wars movie, the
Empire Strikes Back, in which Luke Skywalker
is light saber dueling with Darth Vader, when
Vader drops the verbal bomb, “I am your father”
and tempts Luke to join him on the Dark Side,
where together they could rule the galaxy.
Comparing this to the real life temptation of
Jesus by Satan, the follow up thoughts share
with young people that they can overcome
temptation in the same way Jesus overcame
temptation. Three mission choices are presented that focus on developing tools to overcome
temptation. Debrief questions encourage them
to consider whether it was easy for Jesus to face
Satan’s temptations, as well as how they usually
try to defeat temptation and how many bible
verses do they know. Mission Accomplished
journaling focuses on what they learned and
what do they want to remember. There is also
a share the adventure activity to ask mom, dad,
sibling or friend to check up on them and help
them beat an especially tough temptation. This
would make an excellent devotional for the
adventuring loving girls or boys in your family. Various Bible translations are referenced
although you are welcome to memorize from
your favorite version. 334 pgs, pb. ~Deanne

☼Christian History Devotional (5-AD)
An easy way to bone up on your Christian history (i.e. the lives and events that have shaped
the Christian church in the 2000 years since
Christ’s death and resurrection). If you’re like
me, many of the vignettes included in this book
will include information that is either unknown
or long forgotten. You will probably find many
of the names familiar – Martin Luther, Mother
Teresa, Francis of Assisi, Corrie ten Boom;
however, others are bound to be new – Peter
Böhler, Vashti McCollum, Robert Estienne –
each representing a slice of Christian history
(and not always a positive impact). A daily,
one-page reading is just the bite-size “lesson”
that most of us can work into our schedule. Each
date (for a calendar year) starts with an appropriate Bible verse, discusses the topic/person of
the day, and then closes with a short prayer.
This could be a great school day starter as well
as personal or family devotional. A complete
index is included in the back of the book. 389

Hobbit Devotional (7-AD)
Bilbo Baggins and the Bible? The premise seems just a little contrived, doesn’t it?
However, Ed Strauss does a good job of weaving
specific events of Bilbo’s life (recorded for us in
The Hobbit) with parallel events from the Bible
and then extracting a personal application for
the reader. There are 60 devotionals (about four
pgs each) that cover topics of interest to young
adults and others who have enjoyed reading of
Bilbo’s adventures. Take, for instance, Bilbo’s
pocketing of the Arkenstone of Thrain contrasted
with the gift of the mithril corselet. This event is
compared to King David’s descent into sin with
Bathsheba. In the accompanying devotional the
author discusses short-circuiting God’s promises
by coveting and getting frustrated because we
cannot have something and taking what does
not belong to us. He points us back to the scriptural admonishment found in James - “You do
not have because you do not ask God.” ~ Janice

Stories of Faith and Courage (10-AD)
Generations of Christians have lived out their
faith in their life experiences and as believers today we also hunger to see God work in
our day-to-day activities. This newly expanded
devotional series is designed to help us see
God in the trials and triumphs we experience
personally and as a nation. Focusing on specific
events or people, the readings are a mixture of
tragedy and of joy; tears and laughter will flow
as you read of God’s miraculous hand in the
lives of people just like you. Your faith will be
strengthened and encouraged as you “see” God
in the daily events and activities of people who
love God and seek to walk with Him through
their every day circumstances.
Each softcover book contains 365 daily readings, each no more than a page and a half
in length. Devotional readings provide tie-ins
to our Christian walk and references to the
Scripture that will encourage you to strive ever
onward. The devotional books dealing with the
wars our nation has faced contain historical
summaries, maps, and photographs. Approx.

Seasonal - Advent
Jotham’s Journey (K-AD)
Beginning the fourth Sunday before Christmas,
many families set aside a few minutes a day to
celebrate Advent and zero in on the true reason
for the season. This wonderful story is designed
to be used during Advent but really could just be
read and enjoyed like a typical book. For each
day of Advent, the book provides a short chapter of a story about a young boy whose family
were shepherds during the time of Jesus’ birth.
Due to Jotham’s poor attitude and a misunderstanding, Jotham is separated from his family
and must travel across Israel in search of them.
He faces many dangers but also meets many
new friends. Ultimately, Jotham is reunited with
his family on Christmas Eve, just in time for
them all to witness the birth of Christ together.
It’s a charming tale, full of adventure and lessons, and is ideal for the whole family to read
aloud. Each chapter probably takes about 10-15
minutes to read and usually concludes with a
scripture verse that ties in with the story as well
as a small, 1-2 paragraph devotional. Whether
you use it to celebrate Advent in the traditional
way or just read it for fun, this story is entertaining and a great reminder of what Christmas is
really all about. By Arnold Ytreeide, 168 pgs,

Bartholomew’s Passage (PK-AD)
From Arnold Ytreeide, author of Jotham’s
Journey, comes Bartholomew’s Passage,
another family advent story. The story follows
Bartholomew, a young boy whose village is
ransacked by Roman soldiers, as he travels
through Israel searching for his family—through
slavery, suffering, and adventurous escape. He
finds his family one fateful night and introduces
them to the Son of God born in the manger in
Bethlehem. The book is divided into sections to
be read one each day of the four weeks of the
Advent season, with extra material and scripture
for discussion at the end of each section. The
story, meant to be read over the entire Advent
season, is long with small two-color illustrations at the beginning of each section. It is not
a picture book, but when used as a companion
to Advent traditions, read aloud to the family by
the light of the Advent candles, Bartholomew’s
Passage will be a meaningful reminder of God’s
great love and great gift to us in Jesus. A brief
history of Advent customs and a chart of Advent
dates until 2080 make this book easy to implement even for those unfamiliar with Advent
traditions. Bartholomew’s Passage includes violence and tragedy that may need to be summarized or skipped over for the youngest children,
but it is the author’s intent (as he states in his

note to parents) that “the point is not to cover
up the dark side of life but rather to show how
the love of God and His Son Jesus Christ is the
light of our lives.” ~ Rachel D.

Tabitha’s Travels (PK-AD)
Tabitha is the daughter of a shepherd who is
taking his family to his birthplace. Tabitha is a
curious and courageous young girl who often
finds it difficult to be docile and “know her
place” as girls were expected to do in Biblical
times. As Tabitha travels with her family, she
watches as the Romans take her father prisoner,
spends time with Zechariah and Elizabeth, helps
Mary and Joseph just before Christ’s birth, and
ends her travels at the stable in Bethlehem. Each
chapter begins with instructions to light a specific candle(s) on your Advent Wreath, followed
by the text of the story. The end of each chapter
contains a devotional with a Bible verse and
discussion questions that pertain to themes or
events from the chapter. A total of twenty-eight
devotions are included. By Arnold Ytreeide. 159

Amon’s Adventure (2-7)
Thirteen-year-old Amon enjoys playing with
his friends, but he is eager to join his father
in the temple court with the other men. Amon
sacrifices his childhood—and grows up fast—
when he sets out to defend his father, who has
been falsely accused of a crime. Along the way,
Amon witnesses the Biblical events of the Easter
Story. He sees the Palm Sunday crowds, hears
Jesus address the angry mob, is present during
Judas’ betrayal, and witnesses Jesus’ death and
resurrection. A devotional appears after each of
the twenty-eight chapters, consisting of a Bible
verse and questions for discussion or reflection.

God and Me Devotional Series (PK-7)
This devotional series written specifically for
young girls will encourage your little miss in her
daily quiet times with God. Each devotion is
composed of a Bible verse, an age-appropriate
story, follow-up questions, prayer and a fun
activity to teach her more about God and the
Bible. Three levels are available for different
age groups: ages 2-5, 6-9 and 10-12. And if
your daughter can’t get enough of her original
God and Me devotional, there are two more
series (God and Me! 2 and God and Me! 3),
that each contain three books – one for each
age range. In the original series, the youngest
level deals with character traits, both good and
bad, Ages 6-9 emphasizes God and what he is
like and studies women in the Bible, and Ages
10-12 covers negative and positive traits and
habits to develop. In God and Me 2, girls ages
2-5 will learn more about who God is and how
He wants them to live their lives, those who are
ages 6-9 are encouraged to follow God wholeheartedly as they are introduced to Jesus and
to the power of prayer, and lastly, girls 10-12

For Girls Only! Devotions (3-6)
This devotional for girls covers issues our girls
face in daily life. Maybe it’s the friend who
says something unkind, or the little brother who
annoys, or a temptation to be selfish. Within
the 60 lessons, your daughter is bound to find
stories that mirror her life. Each story is followed by a lesson. The first part of the lesson
is “Checkup Time,” which offers your daughter
a chance to rate herself on a scale of 1 to 5 for
several statements. For example, one statement
is “When I’m hurt, I ask God to guide my words
and actions.” The next part of the lesson offers a
short checklist of ways to improve. For example,
a lesson on sharing suggests, “Deliberately share
something of yours one time each week,” along
with 3 other suggestions. The last part offers
several pertinent Bible verses. I like the book’s
approach, inspiring girls to take positive steps to
improve. 241 pgs, pb ~ Caryl

A Girl After God’s Own Heart (3-7)
There are lots of contenders for the hearts of
“tween” girls – searching for best friends, getting along with parents, and keeping right attitudes. These little books by Elizabeth George,
someone who understands the hearts of girls,
will help your daughter focus on Jesus and orient her life in His love and service. The Study
Guide provides teaching segments illustrated by
events in Emma’s life (a girl like your daughter),
Bible verses or passages (NIV, NKJV, or TLB) to
study, questions (with space to write answers)
that focus on biblical applications, and Heart 2
Heart sections which provide a nugget of wisdom straight from the author to the reader. Each
of the ten chapters has an organizing acronym
(for instance, FRIENDS or PARENTS or TIME).
The Devotional is a companion volume that
provides 140 daily readings on various topics
with space at the back for keeping notes. Its
small size (4.25” x 6.25”), padded cover, and

Growing Little Women (4-9)
A mother/daughter devotional study to celebrate that special bond. If you can set aside
one hour per week for sixteen weeks, you will
both be enriched, and come away with a better
understanding of each other. Each devotional
time has a particularly appropriate topic and
begins with selected scripture to read together.
After briefly recording what you each think is
the main point of the reading, you read the
story (out loud or together) and its "moral".
Discussion questions are directed to the daughter. These are followed by looking up specific
Bible verses and having her record what the
Bible has to say. After this background work,
the two of you can have a deeper discussion of
the topic, lead by questions directed to mom,
daughter, or both, along with spaces for recording these thoughts. Each devotional time ends
with a scripture to memorize, recording a goal
for the week, and a short closing prayer.

Growing Little Women for Younger Girls (1-4)
This book radiates love!
As you and
your daughter progress through the Bible study
(designed to take 1-2 hours a week for 16
weeks), this pretty, spiral bound book will
slowly transform into a keepsake. The two of
you will be brought closer as you share thoughts
about her birth and special moments in your
lives. Engage in further discussions and search
scripture on topics such as showing respect,
making friends, obeying God, hospitality, apologizing, belonging to God, praying, doing what
is right, and more. My favorite parts of the book
are all the neat extra-special activity ideas for
mother and daughters. Some are purely for
fun, and others to commemorate life-firsts such
as a first sleepover or camp. God bless you as
the love and warmth contained in this study
becomes an anticipated time in your week for
you to disciple your daughter. ~ Genevieve

or “Dear God. Why are we supposed to keep
ourselves pure?” are answered with insightful

God Girl Devotions (8-12)
These books by Hayley DiMarco are full of
wisdom and instruction that modern teenage
girls will find both relevant and helpful. With
topics like finding happiness, loving others,
knowing yourself, communication, and knowing God, the books expect a lot from teenage
girls, but shows them that staying close to God
is not only possible, but will bring them true joy
and make them into the women Christ wants
them to be. God Girl gives a great explanation
to teenagers on what a “God girl” is and gives
readers tips and biblical backing for how to live
their life completely sold out for Jesus. Divided
into chapters that explore the characteristics
of a God girl (how they love, how they communicate, how they find happiness, how they
know themselves, and how they know God),
the book shares thoughts on overcoming shyness, resisting and avoiding drama, spending
time in God’s word, staying pure when dating,
caring for friends and strangers alike, being
content with what you have and where you are,
dressing appropriately, and so much more. 174
pgs, hc. Devotions for the God Girl provides
365 daily devotions that will give girls more
scripture and wisdom to help them become a
God girl. The book and guide don’t necessarily have to be used together; both are perfectly
useful independently. If your child was inspired
by the wisdom in the book and wants a way to
continue on the path to becoming a God girl,
the devotional will definitely do the trick. On
the other hand, if your child is just looking for
some high-quality daily devotions and doesn’t
need the background or pep-talk, the devotions themselves explain what a God girl is and
provide much of the wisdom that’s found in
the book. Each 1-page devotional contains one
scripture verse and then a reflection and explanation from DiMarco that shares the same sort
of practical wisdom and spiritual truths as her
book. With a full year of daily devotions about
everything from friends to wardrobe to time
with God, the devotional will be very helpful
for teenagers who are looking to dedicate their
entire life to God. Devotions for the God Girl is
384 pgs, hc. I think the author does a good job
of reaching readers where they are, convicting
them of their sins, and providing encouragement
without making them feel defensive or hopeless.
A great investment for teenage girls, especially
those who may have non-Christian friends or
influences in their lives. ~Rachel

Prayer
☼Circle Maker for Kids: One Prayer Can
Change Everything (PK-3)
Prayer is such an important aspect of the
Christian faith, and we need to teach our children in language they can understand. The
Circle Maker for Kids is intended for little ones,
ages 4 and up, and illustrates beautifully what
faith and prayer can do. The story is about Honi
the ancient rainmaker – Honi believed that
God could hear them and declared, “The same
God who made the thunder will make it clap.
The same God who made the clouds will make
them rain.” There was a yearlong drought in the
land, and the people turned to Honi for help.
Honi prayed within a circle he had drawn on
the ground until God answered his prayers. The
people learned by Honi’s example of fervent,
bold prayer and began to encircle every part of
their lives with prayer.
I am part of the prayer ministry at our church,
and have been encouraged as I hear people talk
about the power of prayer and the things they
have seen God do. Children need to learn at a
very young age that God is there with them and
for them, and that prayer is their tool for communication with God. This 32-page, hardcover
book would be a great gift to a little one in your
life. ~ Donna

☼Hour That Changes the World: A Practical
Plan for Personal Prayer (12-AD)
David Brainerd once wrote, “Oh! One hour
with God infinitely exceeds all pleasures and
delights of this lower world.” Yet, if you have
ever set out to pray for one hour, you may
appreciate my angst. There is nothing more
intimidating, or overwhelming than attempting
to pray with one eye on the spiritual realm and
the other on the clock! This book offers a practical plan for praying one hour through 12 prayer
points (meaning each will last about 5 minutes
- now that’s doable!) While the authors stress
that the prayer plan should be applied with
spiritual liberty rather than regimented legality,
simply having a realistic, achievable plan with
easy to follow steps explained frees the pray-er
to focus on God more freely. Concludes with an
invitation to pray for our communities, neighborhoods and nation. 25th Anniversary edition.

My ______ Journal (3-7)
This series is designed to get kids into the journaling habit. Short two-page sections address
various aspects of the Bible. My Bible Journal
leads students through a brief overview of the
entire Bible. Children read selected verses
and answer questions about them. My Prayer
Journal contains a devotional thought, an appropriate Scripture verse, space for prayer requests
and answers to prayer, and a sample prayer.
These may help your children start down the
road to a deeper understanding and relationship
with God.

Pray! Prayer Journal (6-AD)
No matter where you are in your prayer journey, this journal can help! There’s a lot packed
into this 200 page, wire bound, paperback
journal. It is full of prompts encouraging you
to pray each day, pray for specific things, and
pray scripture. The journal is laid out much like
a daily planner. At the beginning of the journal, there is a place for you to record specific
people to pray for each day of the week. You’ll
pray for your family on Monday, God’s family
on Tuesday, your community on Wednesday,
your nation on Thursday, the world on Friday,
the lost on Saturday, and for personal guidance
on Sunday. Each month focuses on specific
prayers to improve your prayer life and overall
character such as seeking the Lord, yielding
your heart, trusting His way, and obeying God’s
word. Each two-page spread has a six-day layout. Each day has its own box for your prayer
requests and scriptures for you to read if you
wish to read the Bible in one year. The borders
feature scriptures and other insightful quotes. At
the end of the month, there is a page for you to
write monthly reflections, as well as a prayer for
the month for your spiritual growth. The end
of the journal features a place for you to record
your answered prayers, and a few additional
helps and resources to encourage you to keep
praying. As an added bonus, this journal is
formatted in such a way that you can start using
it anytime during the year. – elise

Put On Chart and Lesson Book (PK-8)
As parents, we have a tendency to focus on
our children’s negative behavior -“Don’t do
this” or “Stop that” - yet how often do we take
the time to explain the right behavior? Scripture
instructs all of us, children and adults alike, to
remove our sinful behaviors and exchange them
for godly attitudes and actions in Colossians
3:12, “Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy
and beloved, compassion, kindness, humility, meekness and patience, bearing with one
another…and forgiving each other.”
Through the use of a visually appealing illustration, the “Put on Chart,” the authors provide
us with seven lessons covering each of the
godly characteristics above: compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, bearing
with one another and forgiveness. Each lesson
refers back to the diagram by asking a question
about what the child can observe in the picture.
The character trait is then defined and related
Scripture verses are shared. Related behaviors
and examples are provided so children can look
for opportunities to ‘put on’ the right behavior
along with song suggestions, suggested prayer
points and reasons to give thanks to God. An
example of the lesson on kindness includes
the question, “Why is the boy wearing shoes?”
with the explanation that the word kindness in
Colossians 3 means useful or employed. Being
useful to someone else requires action. Kindness
is further defined. Scripture verses included 1
John 3:18 and Galatians 6:10 along with others. We are then asked to read Ruth 2:1-16
and discuss four ways Boaz showed kindness to
Ruth. A list of ways to bless and help others is
included with ideas such as serving them before
you at the table, encouraging with words, and
many other ideas. Songs, prayer points and give
thanks activities follow. While there is no time
frame per lesson, I would suggest at least one
week per trait to allow plenty of time to develop
each godly behavior.
The laminated chart measures 10 ½” x 8” and
displays a colorful illustration of a boy and
textual information on the traits. Also included
are reproducible paper dolls (one boy and one
girl) made of white cardstock, making them
easy for children to personalize. Like other
Doorposts products, this is a practical and effective resource to equip parents in disciplining
their children. 36 pgs, pb. ~ Deanne

Character Building for Families (PK-AD)
Another gem is this character/Bible study that
you can just open and use. Because it was
written with a family setting in mind, there is
no need to adjust or translate instructions and
activities designed for classroom use. All the
lesson preparation is done for you. Vol. I is
a 12-topic study (obedience, orderliness, diligence, loyalty, deference, cheerfulness, gentleness or kindness, contentment, gratitude, truthfulness, service, and hospitality) broken into
165 lessons. Each day’s lesson requires about
20 minutes, which is a reasonable amount of
time for before- or after-school devotions with
the whole family. The lessons are completely
scripted, so you can just open the book and go.
Unlike other scripted lessons I’ve seen, these
are written more the way people actually speak
- it’s comfortable to use as is. All you need to
supply is your Bible for referenced verses. The
omission of direct Scripture quotations makes
it usable with any Bible translation desired,
avoiding the problems encountered with studies
that may “turn off” potential users because of
preference. Questions in lessons are intended
for discussion; there is no written work required.
Each lesson closes with a prayer. Volume II is
intended as a continuation of the first volume.
It covers 5 additional topics (stewardship, teachableness, mercy, patience, and desire for Jesus)
with 135 lessons.

Building Christian Character (K-4)
This book will help you to develop Christian
character in your children. 13 units focus on
honoring God, respecting others, telling the
truth, self-control, kindness, obeying rules, forgiveness, responsibility, patience, loving everyone, apologizing, thankfulness, and sharing.
Every unit holds 10-11 pages of stories and
activities for that value. A poster for that trait
starts each chapter, along with games, songs
and a craft. Then there is a Bible lesson , such as
the story of Jonah for "saying I'm sorry," and an
application lesson - a real life situation story in
which fictional children learn the lesson. A few
activities are included for each lesson, such as
following directions, puzzles, crosswords, and
other practical, original exercises. Every unit
ends with a "My Contract" page, where kids can
decide to sign a contract to try and do better in
that area. Although you can use this with just
one child, I think it would also work well for a
Sunday school class or group of children, as it
is reproducible and several of the activities and
games utilize "teamwork." ~ Stephanie

Daily Character Education Activities (2-5)
Character education is often left out of the
classroom, but it is more important to have outstanding character than outstanding academic
skills. This book recognizes the value of teaching good character in a classroom environment.
It arms the teacher with lessons for a full school
year covering citizenship, compassion, fairness,
honesty, integrity, perseverance, responsibility, respect, self-discipline, and trustworthiness.
Each quality is covered through a variety of daily
activities for 3-4 weeks; the weekly activities follow the same format. On Mondays, the lesson is

introduced through a children's story, poem, or
quote. Follow-up discussion questions are provided to encourage children to think about the
trait. Every Tuesday's exercise engages children
in the concept by using questions or projects as
prompts for students to show their understanding of the topic. Wednesday's lessons involve
fun projects, brainstorming sessions, or worksheets about the character trait as well as "TakeHome Activities" in which students involve their
parents in the lesson from that day. Thursdays
provide an opportunity for children to share
their parents' responses to the take home activities and provide further discussion. On Friday's,
games, plays, and other active activities wrap
up the week's lesson. Although designed for use
with a group of children, it is possible to adapt
most of the activities for use with one or two
children and still benefit from the ideas. ~ Steph

ACSI Character Foundation Curriculum (K-6)
Character study and development books
abound today. Every educational material supplier has jumped on the bandwagon and offers
at least one line in this area - and I’m referring
to secular publishers! Apparently the biggest
thing since multiculturalism is character building (usually located right next to the self-esteem
books!). Evidently, schools are coming to realize that character development is a vital part of
learning. As a result, we’ve had an opportunity
to pore through many such books. After wading through them, we came back to this series,
which was out of print for awhile, but republished in ‘98. Secular books are no match for
this Bible-based series. While other materials
bend over backwards to include other cultures
and religions, these books are unashamedly and
exclusively Christian. We used this series with
our older four girls when they were young, and
they have fond memories of it. Each character
quality is studied through Bible story, modern
application story, and a variety of enjoyable
activities. Use these during your Bible time, or
as a source for devotional material. While lessons are provided for daily use, you may want
to consider using them on Sundays (especially
if you do your own “Sunday School” at home
rather than at church, as we do). The teacher’s editions contain instructional information,
supplemental exercises, and extra activity suggestions. Please note that the Bible and modern
application stories are found in the teacher's
editions for grades K-2, but are included in the
student books for grades 3 and above.

This study guide from Beautiful Feet serves a

to quality literature and using that literature to
study good character. The guide holds lists
of over 180 recommended books, both for
primary and intermediate students. Discussion
and comprehension questions are also included
for 25 books, with an emphasis on analyzing
character lessons. A great guide for choosing

Proverbs People (3-7)
Written by homeschooling parents, these
character-focused workbooks are based on the
studies of Proverbs they completed with their
own children. Each workbook follows the same
format and features just over a dozen character
traits (some good and some bad). Many of the
chapters included showcase good/bad pairs
of traits, such as a chapter on slothfulness followed by a chapter on diligence. Each chapter
begins with several pages of questions to answer
by looking up and reading the provided verses
(book one includes only verses from Proverbs,
while book two includes applicable verses from
other books of the Bible as well). Depending
on how much the Bible has to say about that
particular trait, there may be many verses to
read or just a few, each followed by questions
easily answered but that will hopefully cause
children to really think about them rather than
just scribble the answer and move on. After
the pages of questions there is a short story to
read, always involving children who display that
trait themselves or witness it in someone else
and then discuss it with an older, wiser person
(usually a parent). Following the story are
some application questions to encourage deeper
thinking. Parents are encouraged to talk about
these questions with their children and guide
the conversation in helping them understand
how to apply what they’ve learned to their life.
Some of the chapters also include a short quiz
or coloring page with a memory verse. Book
One covers slothfulness, diligence, righteousness, wickedness, the self-confident fool, the
stubborn fool, the simple fool, the scorning
fool, the wicked fool, the prudent man, the liar,
and the faithful witness. Book Two studies the
virtuous woman, the contentious woman, the
talebearer, pride, humility, fearfulness, trusting,
anger, patience, contentment, covetousness,
cruelty, mercy, flattery, and honesty. Approx.

What Would You Do? Moral Dilemmas (2-12)
I was a little leery when I first saw these
character building books from Critical Thinking
Press. Though they’re great with workbooks on
logic and brain-building, I was doubtful the
publisher could pull off good “moral” books.
However, I was wrong - the logical way the
books present moral problems is great for helping students consider what they would do in
different situations. Basically, the book presents
a real-life scenario and then asks what you
would do in that situation. The first part is usually multiple-choice, but then the book presents
additional questions that change the situation or
add some complexity, so the students must consider how this changes what they’re going to do
about the situation. Often the book asks students
to explain why they would react the way they
would and group discussions prompt students
to really get to the heart of the situation and
their reaction. The moral dilemmas in the books
are geared towards circumstances that children
really do face in real life. Book 1 has situations
geared for grades 2-5 while Book 2 is geared
towards grades 6-12. So, what would you do if
a friend told a lie in front of you? What if you’re

Portraits of Character (3-8)
It’s been said the oldest and most effective way
to teach virtue and moral excellence is through
a good old fashioned story. So if you’re looking for a book with interesting short stories to
enjoy and to develop character, this is a notable
resource. The reproducible short stories in these
books are a true account of famous persons and
everyday heroes who performed extraordinary
deeds of character. Before each story, there
is a page for the teacher that gives “thinking
questions” and writing ideas. These activities
will help to further cement the moral concepts
into students. Written to instruct and inspire,
these stories will stay in your memory and have
a positive influence on your students, giving
them a vision to make a difference in today’s
society. ~ Gina

Building Christian Character (4-12)
Here is a complete set of tools to help you
"Build Christian Character" in your child. I say
complete, because it combines a strong foundational study of both positive and negative character traits (Honor/Dishonor, Humility/Pride,
etc.) with charting activities to track your child's
progress. Therefore, it has both a Bible study
component as well as a "application in real life"
component. There are three parts to this curriculum: the Guide, the Instruction Booklet, and
the Character Curriculum Charts.
The core of this curriculum is the Guide. It
is a comprehensive study of character traits,
presenting both the positive and negative sides
of each character trait, or lack of it. There is
significant teaching in this book and it is meant
for instruction by the parents or self-study for
older children. It is some of the most in-depth
teaching on the elements of Christian character
I have seen. This book can stand on its own
and can be used as a great foundational study
of Christian Character even without the charts.
Karen and I have used this in our home. We
have found the Guide to be very helpful as a
devotional.
Building Christian Character was completely
revised and expanded in 2006, and the guide
is now 364 pages in length. Chapters include
Honor/Dishonor, Honesty/Dishonesty, Active
Obedience/Disobedience, Responsibility &
Faithfulness/Irresponsibility & Unfaithfulness,
Good Stewardship/Bad Stewardship, Taking
Initiative/Waiting to be Told, Humility/Pride,
Kindness & Generosity/Meanness & Greed,
Nonviolence & Nonresistance/Violence,
Patience/Impatience, Sobriety/Foolishness, and
Victory & Joy/Sulking & Pouting. The Character
Curriculum Charts holds a year's supply of charts
and forms for one child (12 Temple Forms, 52
Weekly Charts, and 52 Student Checklists) held
in a three-ring binder. These charts provide
spaces for recording responsibilities and goals
as well as both positive and negative behaviors
exhbited, allowing you to assess areas that need
to be adressed. The Instruction Booklet provides
detailed instructions for how to use the character curriculum charts and seems to be necessary
if you plan on using the charts. - Jerry

☼Wait Till You See the Butterfly (PK-8)
Stories have long been recognized as a powerful conduit for teaching truth to children and
adults alike. In fact, one of the most gifted storytellers, Jesus, communicated powerful truths
through parables. What better example is there
for us? Containing 44 stories arranged in three
age groups: 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12 year olds, the
stories in this book point our children to Jesus
Christ and authentic Biblical living. You can
choose to read each story in order or use the
handy topical index located in the back to focus
on a specific spiritual need. Topically, the book
addresses Easter and Christmas, envy, fear, forgiveness, the value of life, lying, honoring your
parents, prayer, self-righteousness, sin, tithing,
controlling the tongue and much more through

Christian Character (5-9)
Christian Character gives practical helps for the
young person to form habits in conformity with
God’s word. The book begins with an examination of the person’s character, then guides him
in setting short-term, specific goals for improvement in areas of weakness. The book should
have broad appeal, as each of the 28 chapters
addresses a different character trait, from compassion to thankfulness. The book is most effective when used with the support of family and
the local church. In addition to individual use,
the book can also serve as the basis for family
devotions or Bible classes.

Child’s Character Building Volume 1 (PK-2)
This book is a great source of character building stories. Three different character traits (creativity, diligence, and wisdom) are presented in
four different contexts. First, a lesson is given
using actual stories from the Bible. Then the
same quality is presented in a story in school,
home, and play situations. These were among
our children’s favorite stories when they were
younger. The stories are interesting and the
character qualities effectively portrayed.

Solomon & Friends Series (PK-2)
This cute storybook series is about a little
bear named Solomon who gets in some tough
scrapes but always ends up learning something
about God. In each book, Solomon hears or
learns a Bible verse and then he notices how the
verse applies to his life. Kids love these books
because, while they teach great morals, they’re
also very fun and colorful. Pages are full-color
and glossy, with cartoony graphics that captivate children. These are wonderful storybooks
to read aloud to your children and perfect
substitutes for all those secular children’s books
out there. As an added bonus, a few “Wonder
Paws” are included in each book, which are
simple questions placed at specific points in
the book where you can pause and reflect with
your child on what’s happening in the story.

Hive of Busy Bees (K-5)
Life on a farm sure is different than in the city!
That’s what Don and Joyce quickly find out after
they have a run in with a bee hive. After the
stings have worn off, Don and Joyce’s grandma
promises to tell them a story about a bee. Now,
these stories aren’t about actual buzzing bees,
but about life lessons such as “Bee Obedient,”
“Bee Honest,” “Bee Truthful,” and “Bee Kind.”
Each story features children going through
life circumstances where they have to make a
choice to listen to the bee buzzing a message
in their ear or to ignore the bee and endure the
consequences that are sure to follow. The seventeen chapters that follow tell of the adventures
that Don and Joyce have on the farm, and each
chapter concludes with one of Grandma’s “Bee
Stories.” In Another Hive of Bees, the twins,
Danny and Debbie, are finally old enough to
spend a summer with Grandma and Grandpa
just like Don and Joyce did. Their only special request for the summer is to hear some of
Grandma’s “Bee Stories,” and Grandma is more
than willing to share twenty-one new stories.
Through these stories your children will learn
timeless life lessons, and the Christian message
rings loud and clear in each story. These “buzzing bees” are a great way to introduce the role of
the Holy Spirit in our lives. These two volumes
have been around for the past sixty years, and
I’m sure they will be around for children to
enjoy for many, many years to come! – elise

Hinds’ Feet on High Places (7-AD)
Hinds’ Feet on High Places is Hannah Hurnard’s
well-loved allegory of the journey every Christfollower must take through trial and tribulation,
sorrow and suffering, to the heights of joy and
love that only come from communion with the
Savior. This journey is beautifully described in
the experiences of Much-Afraid, servant of the
Chief Shepherd, and her trek through rough and
dangerous terrain up to the High Places, where
her name is changed and she experiences a
transformation, returning to her work with a
new outlook, a new start, and a new life more
full in the knowledge of Christ. Also included in
this edition are “Lessons Learned on the Slopes
of the High Places,” personal devotional writings from Hannah on her experiences in the
mountains of Switzerland after the death of her
father, and an abridged version of Hurnard’s
autobiography, with details about her life and
struggles with herself, her faith, and God that
reveal the relationship between Hurnard’s own
life and the text of Hind’s Feet—of her own
journey through a physical handicap and many
deep-rooted fears and doubts into the perfect
love of Christ. With 243 pages (and 54 additional pages of “Lessons Learned” and autobiography) and no illustrations, this edition is best
for older grade-schoolers and up, or read aloud
to younger children. ~ Rachel D.

Hinds' Feet on High Places for Children (PK-6)
This book is a children's version of the original
Hinds' Feet on High Places by Hannah Hurnard.
Carefully adapted for a younger audience, it
retains the rich vocabulary and inspiring storyline of the original allegory. If you are not
familiar with this story, it is about a young girl
named Much-Afraid. Although Much-Afraid is
a servant of the Shepherd, she still worries a lot,
and she is surrounded by her Fearing relatives,
Dismal, Spiteful, Craven Fear, and Self-Pity.
When she tells the Shepherd she wants to leave
the Valley and go to the High Places, she learns
that He has been waiting for her to say those
very words. He tells her that the journey will be
difficult and dangerous, but He will provide her
with two companions for help. Also, although
she won't be able to see Him, He reminds her
that she only needs to call and he will answer.
Much-Afraid begins the long journey, but she
faces many doubts and hesitations along the
way. Will she ever reach the High Places, or
will she turn away from the path the Shepherd
has put before her? The story is fully illustrated
with gorgeous, colorful pictures. Every few
pages, at natural breaking points in the story,
there is a page with discussion questions, relevant Bible verses, and a short prayer to pray
with kids. A wonderful story to read aloud and
discuss with children. 116 pgs. - Melissa

Don’t Make Me Count to Three! (AD)
You probably gave a small smile at reading
the title of this book, perhaps accompanied
with a small twinge of guilt at having uttered
those same words, or at least something equally
ineffective, such as “You just wait till your
daddy comes home!” or “You don’t want me
to have to come in there!” While it is easy to
get upset and absentmindedly spout off phrases
like these, they do not encourage a change of
heart in children, and a crucial aspect of discipline is missed. The issue of discipline is a
frequently discussed, often controversial topic
for parents—particularly Christian ones! This
book guides mothers through the process of
heart-oriented discipline, a method focusing on
helping children change their hearts towards
God instead of merely making their actions fit
your will. Drawing on the wisdom of Ephesians
6:4, the author emphasizes instruction as well
as discipline - that is, we are also called to
instruct them in the ways of righteousness,
which often gets left out of the disciplinary process. The book is written with a personal flair,
and it is scripturally based, extremely enjoyable, and often humorous. The author does not
pretend to be a perfect mother; she constantly
reminds readers that she is teaching from God’s
word and not out of her own accomplishments.
However, the book is very well written and
full of practical, sensible advice for disciplining
with a focus on your children’s hearts. Although
written directly to mothers, both moms and dads
would benefit from the principles discussed in
this book. 155 pgs, pb.
For the past several years, multitudes of moms
have found wisdom packed into this practical
book, and now the author has written a helpful 6-week study guide that really focuses on
these nuggets of wisdom. Each week’s study
incorporates reading 2 chapters per week from
the core book, a memory verse and diverse
questions focused on your current parenting
views, Scripture, fill in the blank exercises,
and application questions. Space for discussion
notes and prayer requests is included, although
some parents may prefer to use a journal
instead. Designed to be a study for a Mom’s
group Bible study, it also makes an excellent
guide for individual study and personal growth
as the questions and Scripture will guide moms
into the practical application of Christ-centered
parenting. Study based on the 1984 NIV Bible.

Five Love Languages of Children (AD)
Based on the same ideas as the bestseller
The Five Love Languages, also written by Gary
Chapman, this book focuses on cultivating a loving relationship with your children. This entails
identifying your child’s primary love language
– physical touch, words of affirmation, quality
time, gifts, or acts of service – and then learning
to speak it to them. In the first chapters, Gary
concentrates on each of the five love languages
in turn. Using real-life examples of children
and their parents, he details each language,
showing the different aspects of it and offering
guidance on how to “talk” to your child in this
language. Each of these chapters also concludes
with a long list of specific ideas for speaking
the language such as baking together, having a
campout in your own yard, taking family walks,
and asking specific questions about their day for
“quality time” children. If your child’s primary
love language hasn’t become clear already by
reading these chapters, Gary provides tips for
identifying it in the next chapter. He then tackles helpful subjects in light of the love language
approach: discipline, learning, anger and love,
speaking love languages in single-parent homes,
and speaking the love languages in marriage (a
good marriage can only benefit your relationship with your children). Ideas for further reading and a helpful love language assessment test
are contained at the end of the book. 212 pgs,

Give Them Grace (AD)
I’ve always been told that, “It isn’t enough to talk
the talk, you have to walk the walk.” I feel like
that is the message given by the authors of this
book. It isn’t enough just to keep the rules, we all
need grace because we just can’t be good enough.
This is the lesson we need to teach our children
for them to develop into God-honoring people.
As parents, we have to help our children know
the love of Jesus and respond with obedience.
This book doesn’t just tell you it’s something you
should do, it helps to pave the way so you know
how. Filled with scripture and practical advice, we
can give our children grace. - Donna

Heart of Anger (AD)
Do you have a child that exhibits outbursts
of anger, disrespect, strife or discouragement?
Maybe you just want to "head-off" these issues
before they arise. This book goes beyond external manifestations of anger and shows how to
deal with the internal source of anger in the
heart in a biblical way. Using a composite of a
family he counseled as an example, Lou Priolo
provides a confident, Bible-centered approach
to resolving these anger problems. The book
describes a child-centered home vs. a Godcentered home and helps us diagnose which
we have. Lou also presents 25 ways parents
provoke children to anger. However, this is not
a "blame parents" book. It simply helps parents
identify the part they play in the problem and
the part they can play in the solution. Not surprisingly, the book presents communication as
a key tool, not only with words but with tone
of voice and non-verbal cues. The author helps
us explore the attitudes of the heart of both the
child and the parent. He also gives reasons
why parents can only discipline successfully
to the extent that they have discipline in their
own lives. The book discusses the desires and
motives that contribute to a heart of anger and
to manipulation. I found the book easy to read
and understand with many clear examples and
diagnostic questions. The book includes several
helpful appendices and an anger journal.
An insightful workbook is also available. For
each chapter of the book, the workbook has a
section of study questions and application questions. The study questions are designed to help
you get the most out of reading the book by
questioning you about the content of the chapters. The application questions will help you
relate what you have read to your life and the

will help you think through these important
issues and your family environment. Perfect for

Instructing a Child’s Heart (AD)
Picking up where Shepherding a Child’s Heart
left off, this book by Tedd and Marcy Tripp
continues to examine biblical truths and apply
them to parenting. It focuses more on formative
instruction – that is, how to teach your children
in a way that molds them into productive, Godhonoring members of society. The first section
explains the need for formative instruction,
goals to set, and parental responsibility for the
upbringing of their children. The second section
focuses on more specific truths about training
your children like the importance of the heart,
God’s plan for authority, wisdom and foolishness, the importance of the church, and more.
The last section gives practical tips on how to
apply biblical correction, discipline, and motivation while raising your children and prompts
parents to use every opportunity to show the
gospel and God’s character and grace to their
children. Full of personal stories, Bible passages, and practical, Christ-centered encouragement and instruction, this book will be a great
help to parents looking to instill a God-honoring
heart into their children. 188 pgs, pb. ~ Rachel

☼Making the “Terrible” Twos Terrific! (AD)
Although it has been a number of years since
I faced the terrible twos, I vividly remember the
tears and the tantrums! In all honesty, not all
those tears and tantrums came from my precocious two year olds - some were mine! Friends
tried their best to give advice, but much of it
was based on modern, child-centered philosophies. Then one day, a friend introduced me to
the writings of John Rosemond, and our home
life was dramatically improved.
Offering excellent, practical advice for parents of nearly two year old through three year
olds, this valuable book guides parents through
healthy development, toilet training, establishing good bedtime habits, effective creative
discipline, and controlling biting and other
aggressive behaviors. One of his best tips, in
my opinion is: Prevent your home from becoming child-centered and prioritize your marriage
(and he shows you how!) As the mom to two
adult-children, I can attest to the significance of
this simple, yet profound counsel. Each chapter
offers an extensive question and answer section,
covering a wide range of situations parents of
toddlers face. Indexed for quick reference for
impending situations. 230 pgs, pb. ~Deanne

Parenting with Scripture (AD)
One of the more rewarding aspects of parenting is being able to train your children in the
ways of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding
when the opportunities arise. While it is a good
idea to have a regularly scheduled time to work
on things like this, we all know that these opportunities can also just pop up out of the blue, so
parents really do need to be prepared. This
book will help parents find just the right verses
to use for over one hundred different topics.
The verses are well researched, and suggested
points for discussion follow each list of verses.
There are also ideas for practical application,
short "Take Action" sections that help children
to see how they can actually put the verses into
practice. Well-grounded in Scripture, this is a
really good resource to have around - especially
if you want to seize the moment. ~ Zach

Proverbs for Parenting (AD)
I like the book of Proverbs. God’s truths are
presented in a clear, concise, and memorable
way. As a Christian parent, you want to get
these ideas across to your children in the same
way. Proverbs for Parenting has arranged hundreds of proverbs by topic (70 of them) so that
you can have a ready reference for particular
occasions. You may not be ready the first time
an opportunity for reinforcement or a problem
crops up, but our children, like us, may continue to struggle with a particular area of weakness. So, if selfishness rears its ugly head again,
you can have a proverb ready “for reproof, for
correction.” You are using something other
than “Stop that!”, and the child is learning why
his behavior is contrary to the Word of God, all
with a minimum of time and effort. Another
great idea from God!

Raising a Modern-Day Knight (AD)
The knight in shining armor! It's hard to
imagine a more masculine image. The knight
embodied loyalty, courage, leadership, honesty, self-discipline, integrity, and perseverance.
Author Robert Lewis wants to renew the vision
that medieval fathers had for their sons. His
desire stems from disappointment in his own
upbringing from an "absentee" father, and he
hopes that fathers today will not make the same
mistake. Lewis outlines steps to bring our sons
along the path to manhood just as the knights
had a prescribed course of training. And just
as ceremony marked the graduation of a young
man from squire to knight, Lewis offers ideas
for ceremonies to celebrate the passing of our
sons into manhood. Consider these ideas as we
prepare our sons to serve the King. 194 pgs, pb.

☼Taming the Techno-Beast (7-12)
Technology. For many of us, this modest word
produces a knot in our stomach. Technology
can be a wonderful asset, and represents the
wave of the future; yet, how often do we look
around and see individuals consumed by the
technology in their hands while paying no attention to the person next to them? To be honest,
technology presents a unique challenge not only
to individuals but also to us as a society as we
learn to balance technology in our lives.
If you are looking for balance in technology
use in your home, these resources from popular
homeschool speaker Todd Wilson may tip the
scales in your favor. Beginning with the booklet,
written primarily to Dads (with much application
to Mom), Todd lays a foundational understanding
of the allure and deceptive nature of technology
and it’s impact on his own family; explains the
unique impact technology has on males and
females; and uses supportive scripture to form a
battle plan to tame the beast. While this practical,
easily digested, 47 pg. booklet gives parents the
necessary tools to tame the techno-beast, Todd
also offers a 100+ page Student Workbook,
designed to take young people on a path of selfdiscovery of their relationship with the TechnoBeast. One thing I really appreciated about the
student workbook is how he walks students
logically through setting a technology standard
for themselves rather than espousing the “evils”
of technology. Beginning with a short history lesson to introduce the first computer game (Pong,
for those too young to remember!), which leads
to an overview of the rapid technology explosion, the Student Workbook then tackles life in
a virtual world. A virtual world that can be allencompassing and provide a snare that is different for males and females. Students then explore
the Biblical application, battle plans for killing
the beast and development of personal standards
for video games, cell phones, Facebook and
internet usage. Each workbook section ends with
open-ended questions designed to help young
people evaluate their views of technology and
the impact it has on their lives. A sampling of the
questions: “How do you respond when you see a
new gadget?” Does your virtual world seem easier, more exciting, or more relational than your
real world at home, school or work? Explain.”
Weekly Technology Logs are also included for
self-evaluation. Parents and young people alike
will be challenged to think beyond society’s
norm as they evaluate the Techno-Beast in their
home. Reproducible for use within a single family or classroom, pb. ~ Deanne

☼What a Difference a Mom Makes (AD)
Any mom-of-a-son picking up this book would
look through the table of contents and go to the
chapter that seemed most relevant, wouldn’t
she? It’s what I did and my son is almost out of
his twenty-somethings. I saw the words “daily
battles” and knew that was the one for me. And
what I read there gave me a good appreciation
for the wisdom of the author. By focusing on the
three things that matter most in your son’s life –
attitude, behavior, and character – he puts those
daily interactions into perspective. Whether he
was talking about confusing self-worth with selfesteem, responding rather than reacting, avoiding
power struggles, allowing consequences, the
importance of follow-through, or expecting the
best, this author made sense. I have a great relationship with my son, but we had our moments
back then. If you’re “having moments” right now
– or if you want to look back with your twentysomething son and recognize ways in which
you’ve been valuable to his growth and development as a man, then you’ll appreciate this book.
It’s obvious Dr Kevin Leman understands the
relationship between a mom and her son. It’s
obvious, too, that his words can enable you to
make a better contribution to the man your son
will become. 259 pgs, pb. ~ Janice

☼Wisdom for Parents (AD)
The Book of Proverbs was given as an instruction manual in daily living. As such, it’s the
obvious place to look for wisdom – the wisdom
needed by all parents for bringing their children
up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
As a devotional, this book will give you a daily
dose of wisdom from Proverbs; a dose that is
exactly what a busy lifestyle can manage and
assimilate. Verse by verse through Proverbs
for 180 days, you’ll find practical instruction
in watching our words, knowing our children,
judging others, discernment, self-control, showing respect, and so many other pertinent and
important topics. Take this small nugget of time
each day to meditate on God’s Word and apply
it to the situations which swirl around you daily.

Richard Scarry's Please and Thank You Book
(PK-2)
In this collection of charming stories, Richard
Scarry's well-known characters model both
good and bad manners - and usually with visible
consequences! Seven short stories show good
behavior and bad behavior, including Lowly
Worm helping Little Sister tie her shoelace,
a young pig refusing to help out around the
house, Harry Hyena playing with Tillie's favorite vase, and everyone remembering to thank
Dolly the pig and her mother for inviting them
to Dolly's party. Also, don't miss Lowly's list
of "horrid pests" - let's hope we don't resemble
these! An excellent read-aloud.

Mind Your Manners! Coloring Book (PK-4)
“Please,” “thank you,” and “excuse me” are
timeless necessities. It may feel like it takes
8,000 reminders before a kiddo remembers
them on their own, but an interactive resource
like this one can reinforce these daily life lessons in a fun way. Each coloring page demonstrates manners such as asking politely to borrow something, smiling and thanking someone
for a gift, finding something positive to say, or
apologizing when you make a mistake, and
holds a sentence teaching the manner at the bottom: “When making a phone call, first introduce
yourself, and then ask if you may speak to the
person you are calling for.” I love that there is
a page on removing hats when indoors (a pet
peeve of my own!) and holding open doors for
others (another one of my sticklers!) This little
book made me think about what my parents
taught me - I still have a hard time addressing
someone of my parents’ age by their first names!

life lessons really stick! 46pgs, pb ~ Sara

You know you’re holding an unusual book
when it’s endorsed by talk show host, Dr. Laura;
Senator Elizabeth Dole; professional hockey

Bono. What could they possibly agree on?
Manners! This delightful and deliberate education in all things pertaining to good manners
– respecting mother and father, using words
wisely, table manners, washing and dressing,
caring for the elderly and sick, getting along
with others, in school, good sportsmanship,
writing letters and invitations, church, weddings, and funerals, kindness toward animals,
and respecting our country – is taught through
a wonderful anthology of engaging stories and
poems punctuated with the author’s gentle
summations. No dull list of dos and don’ts
here. The broad selection – some well-known;
some from long-forgotten personages; and some
contemporary – is similar to Book of Virtues but
there is more application especially geared to a

Manners Made Easy for Teens (7-12)
Manners are so important, yet in our society
we see the decline of the use of good manners. Manners are important all through our
lives, but teens need to learn them as they
begin their journey out into the world. Making
a good impression at a college interview or at
your first job interview can change the path of
your journey. This book focuses on making a
good impression, what to wear, how to make
conversation, dating, thank yous and R.S.V.P.s,
cell phones and e-mails, public manners, job
interviews, being a host and a guest, and eating
etiquette. Manners Made Easy provides exercises to practice the skills after learning. This book
starts out with the 6 S’s of body language for
making a good impression: Stand, Smile, See
their eyes, Shake their hand, Say your name,
and Say their name back to them – things we
could all practice. The second part of the book
is written to teachers and parents and invites
them to be involved through role-playing, quizzes, demonstrations, interactions, and more.
Once a teen learns the skills in this book, they
can feel good about themselves and the impression they are making. 104 pgs, pb. ~ Donna

I know it says “kids,” but what about adults?
We can all think of at least one person with
questionable manners who might benefit from

to do with your straw are just a few examples.

a vision as well as a practical plan for raising
well-mannered children. Along with the rules

Manners for Mealtime Card Game (PK-AD)
Teach and practice proper table manners with
this simple game. This set contains 8 identical laminated Level 1 cards, 8 identical Level
2 cards, and an instruction card. Each game
card contains a list of rules pertaining to table
manners, such as “Place your napkin on your
lap” (Level 1) or “Offer to others before taking
the last serving” (Level 2). To play, each family
member brings their own coins to the dinner
table. Parents should pass out the Level 1 cards
at each place setting and review the rules listed
on the cards. Then, the family should say grace
and begin eating. If a player breaks one of the
rules, he must place one of his coins in front
of his plate. At the end of the game, whoever
has the least amount of coins in front of them
gets to keep all of the other players’ coins. After
mastering Level 1, add the Level 2 cards to the
table for an added challenge. Your family will
be ready to host guests in no time! ~ Lisa

Blunders Game (K-6)
The Blunders are a family with bad manners.
They want to go a party at the Mannerly’s house
but before they get an invitation, they need to
learn some better manners. The four Blunders
kids have distinct personalities and behaviors:
gossiping, belching at the table, poor sportsmanship, bragging, tattling, whining, bossiness,
and forgetting to use please and thank you. The
804
Bible
game proceeds with color-coded question cards
as you work your Blunder characters around the
game board. While some of the table etiquette
is pretty formal, most questions ask things that
kids can easily relate to.
Here is a question in the Home category.
True or False: "Bobby Blunder went over to the
Mannerly’s house and brought his dog Butch.
When Mrs. Mannerly opened the door, Bobby
let Butch run into their house. This was okay
because Bobby knows that Butch is a friendly
dog." Turn over the card to learn that the answer
is False. There is also an explanation why it is
false: Bobby should have either not brought the
dog over or tied him up in the Mannerly’s yard.
Manners are one of those things we nag our
kids about sometimes. We often prompt little
ones to say please or gently remind (force) older
kids to send those thank you notes out after a
birthday party. Here is a fun way to share information with kids and let them prove what they
already know about being kind and polite to
others. Includes game board, 3 boxes of question cards, rule booklet, place setting cards,
reward tokens, 2 dice and characters as game
pieces to move along the board. ~ Sara

Making Brothers and Sisters Best Friends
(PK-AD)
This book was written by two sisters and their
brother to combat a problem that they noticed
was all too common. They saw other brothers and sisters continually living at odds with
each other, complaining about each other, and
definitely not enjoying each other’s company.
So they decided to take their observations seriously and try to help those who don’t count their
brothers and sisters in with their friends (or best
friends). The book is divided into 12 chapters,
each one covering topics like finding the root of
the problem(s), healing hurt relationships, the
key to relationships, and practical ways to build
friendships. Each chapter begins with each of
the authors writing their own section, so you
get three different perspectives. Then, they have
collaborated to write a practical summation
of advice, including steps for application and
a common question with their answer. Along
the way, they offer helpful suggestions, ideas,
and evaluations, often through true stories from
their family’s life. By Sarah, Stephen, and Grace
Mally, 280 pgs, pb. Also available is a coloring/activity book that the siblings designed to
be used alongside the book. It contains activity
pages, projects, pictures to color, and questions

The Young Peacemaker (K-8)
Recommended by Tedd Tripp, the author of
Shepherding a Child's Heart, this book was
written to bring the wonderful concepts of The
Peacemaker, by Ken Sande, to young children.
Everyone experiences conflict, and teaching
children how to be peacemakers can really
help their relationships with parents, siblings,
and friends. This manual was written to parents
and teachers to use with children. It is divided
into three main units - Understanding Conflicts,
Responding to Conflict, and Preventing Conflict.
Each of these units contains four different chapters/lessons. To give you an idea of the content,
here are a few of the chapter titles: What Causes
Conflict?, Choices Have Consequences, Conflict
is an Opportunity, The Freedom of Forgiveness,
Altering Choices, and Think Before You Speak.
The lessons are divided into six sections. The
first section sets the stage, including an introduction to the lesson, a review of the previous
concepts learned, discussion questions, and
short story illustrating the main principles of
the lesson. The lesson follows, introducing the
biblical principles of peacemaking and how
they can be used to resolve conflict and make
peace. The remaining sections give a closing
prayer, activities to assign as desired (found in
the Student Activity Book, only available in the
set), a list of relevant Bible passages to reinforce
the lesson, and a final summary highlighting the
key principle and main points of the lesson as
well as a Bible memory verse. This manual was
designed to be covered in twelve weeks, but the
program is very flexible and can adapt to different time frames. This is a wonderful manual to
be used in Christian or home schools, Sunday
schools, or family devotions. 199 pgs. - Melissa

Timely Talks with Teenagers (7-12)
As a parent, you might find it hard at times to
talk with your teenagers about “life.” I’m not
saying that a book can replace a heart-to-heart
conversation with your teen, but it can help get
the ball rolling. This simple book by Daniel
Kauffman was first published over 100 years
ago, but the message is still one that needs to
be heard by this generation. The main focus
is to “direct the minds of teenagers heavenwards and to give them a clearer view of life’s
pleasure and duties and responsibilities.” It
does just that through its conversational writing style and timeless topics. In fact, you feel
like an older and wiser man is passing on the
“secrets of life.” Each of the twelve chapters
address an important matter, such as: growth
(physical, emotional and spiritual), life purpose,
productivity vs. laziness, honesty, kindness,
cheerfulness, humility, the difference between

lost on the quest for the lantern. A good squire,
who was taught by his parents from the scroll
which contains the words of God, accompanies
his knight on the quest. Through the adventure, the squire keeps the scroll close by and
sticks to the words which lead him safely, and
he is rewarded for his purity. The Life Lessons
guide offers deeper discussions for after reading the Squire and the Scroll. It is divided into
21 lessons covering authority; guarding your
eyes, ears, mouth, hands and feet; forgiveness;
protecting purity; and more. Each lesson has a
discussion, squire’s prayer, Bible verse, creative
ideas, reading a Bible passage, and several discussion questions. It concludes with ideas for
planning a squire ceremony for your son with a
group or individually. Jennie Bishop’s Christian

Boyhood and Beyond (5-12)
Boyhood is a time for exploring and digging,
building and catching fish. Boyhood is the time
to capture that adventurous spirit and proactively learn godly character. It is a time to instill
a foundation of strong morals and principles – a
foundation that will help boys transition from
building forts and picking up bugs to men of
honor, courage, faith, and wisdom. Bob Schultz
offers his insights through many practical and
real-life examples on subjects such as inventiveness, honesty, authority, responsibility, forgiveness, industry, justice, countering laziness,
overcoming temptation, conquering fear, and
many other topics besides. Chapters are fairly
short, read easily and clearly, and have messages that are applicable and centered on Scripture.
Chapters are followed by discussion questions
for groups or journaling. Also a great father-son
discussion resource. 219 pgs, pb ~ Zach

Thoughts for Young Men (6-12)
Speaking from experience, young men need
plenty of guidance, wisdom, and advice, but
more often than not, they fail to seek it out.
Praise God, then, for men like J.C. Ryle, who
wrote what he hoped would "keep some young
man walking in the right way, and preserve him
from faults and sins which may hurt his prospects both for time and eternity." He writes with
passion, a sense of urgency, and openness not
encumbered by status, wealth, education, or the
gap of time. The author divides the book into
four sections. He first gives reasons why young
men need exhorting; second, he tells of some
special dangers which young men will face;
third, he gives some general counsel to young
men; and last, he lays out some special rules of
conduct that he urges young men to follow. The
principles outlined in this book are invaluable
to the growth and maturity of any young man's
walk with Christ. ~ Zach

☼A Boy’s Guide to Making Really Good
Choices (7-9)
From the author of A Boy After God’s Own
Heart comes another devotional to help young
men grow into godly men. This book takes
young men through the process of making good
decisions that can affect not just themselves but
those around them. Using an ongoing story of
eleven-year old Justin and his choices and bad
days, the author uses acronyms to help boys
remember important Biblical concepts about
making right choices. Using scripture (NIV,
NASB, NKJV, NLT, ICB), boys will learn what
the Bible has to say about obeying, reading the
Bible, praying, and more. Many of the circumstances Justin encounters are exactly what boys
in junior high really do encounter in classroom
and school, home, and church settings. Each
lesson begins with another episode of Justin’s
life and follows with Fun in God’s Word and
questions to answer directly in the book. You
could even use these questions for discussion
in a group setting. Sometimes making the right
choice is pretty easy, other times a little more
difficult; Biblical guidelines can sure help with
the process. 140 pgs. pb. ~ Donna

Created for Work (7-AD)
When boys are in that transition to manhood,
they have much to learn about responsibility
and work ethic. These things are learned in conjunction with godly character training, which
Bob Schultz talked about in his previous book,
Boyhood and Beyond. This sequel focuses on
what it means to be a good worker according to
the principles found in God’s Word. Using real
life stories throughout the book to illustrate lessons and principles, Mr. Schultz combats what
he sees as the effects of a modern culture that is
addicted to ease and entertainment: dishonest,
unproductive, and weak-willed men. He seeks
to encourage young men to something better
than the world’s standards in this book that can
be used simply to read, or as a discussion book
with ready-to-use questions at the end of each
chapter. 181 pgs, pb ~ Zach

Practical Happiness (9-12)
“True happiness is not found in money, power,
or fame. It is a precious gift from God, available
to all who learn to hear His voice and obey His
calling.” These wise words and many others are
what you’ll find throughout this personal devotional for teenage men. Through short, captivating stories, Bob Schultz offers much counsel in
the area of happiness, relationships, self-image,
and contentment. Each of the 36 lessons starts
out with an inspiring quote, a personal life story
which leads into reflections on scripture, ending
with a key verse and several reflection questions. Would be a great book for fathers to go
through with their sons! 223 pgs, pb.

Christian Manhood (7-12)
One aspect that American culture seems to
lack today is a rite of passage from boyhood
to manhood. Christian Manhood attempts to
fill this gap from a spiritual standpoint, while
presenting clear Biblical principles with practical application. The overall plan is for boys to
learn from Scripture, examine their own lives,
set their own goals, and put these Scriptural
principles into practice. A review of the chapter
titles reveals plenty of meat including subjects
like your personal relationship with Jesus, your
relationship to parents, evangelism, friendships,
submission to authority, discipline, relationships
with girls, sorrow, work ethic, alcohol, television, and deciding right from wrong. Good
training for sons; good reminder for dads.

has many suitors who come, wishing for her
hand in marriage, but none seem worthy of
her kiss. The princess has to exercise wisdom

Beautiful Girlhood (7-12)
By popular demand, we are including this classic in our catalog. Karen Andreola has revised
the language somewhat to make it easier to read
but has retained the flavor of the original writing. First published in the early 20th century,
the book exhorts young girls to maintain high
standards of character. Each of the 33 short
chapters address a virtue (such as obedience,
sincerity, responsibility, and purity) or a situation to be encountered in life (like boyfriends
or choosing a career). The book could be read
and discussed by mother and daughter together,
or you may want to let your daughter read it on
her own and answer questions as they come up.

Companion Guide to Beautiful Girlhood
Having a close relationship with your daughter
is very important. Every child needs someone to
look up to, and a girl's mom is the ideal person
to be a mentor to her. The better relationship
you keep with your daughter, the more comfortable she will be asking you questions and talking
to you about her life. This book was created to
help bring you and your daughter closer together. Spending time together, of course, is an
essential part of having a good relationship, and
this book allows you to get together and discuss
important aspects of a girl's life and pass along
your Christian values. This book covers those
hard-to-broach subjects including her changing
body, relationships, friendships with boys, and
love nature. You and your daughter can discuss
the value of good books, life's work, ideals, the
Christian life, repentance, trusting Jesus as your
savior, and the importance of prayer. It will also
help your daughter to develop character traits
such as obedience, modesty, truthfulness, and a
sunny disposition. The 32 chapters provide discussion questions for each chapter of Beautiful
Girlhood, and also incorporate Scripture into
your study with Bible activities and life applications. There are also inspirational quotes,
writing topics, and blank pages for journaling
so that your daughter can record what she has
learned to make a cherished keepsake of your
time together. ~ Stephanie

Dating
I Kissed Dating Goodbye (7-AD)
In our culture, one measure of popularity is
how many different members of the opposite
sex a person has dated. For the most part dating is artificial and selfish, as individuals look
to satisfy their own needs and desires without
making any kind of commitment. The good
news is we are not without guidance in this
area. In this practical, down-to-earth book, Josh
Harris describes many of the dating-game problems. He gives real life examples and integrates
Scripture stating what the Bible says about relationships. Many issues are discussed in depth:
the negatives of dating, God’s definition of love,
purity, putting others ahead of yourself, plus lots
of helpful hints and study questions. This is not
a courtship approach per se, but more a set of
Biblical guidelines that young men and women
can follow in any situation to find a suitable
marriage partner. I think that every teenager
and young adult would benefit from reading
this excellent book. 228 pgs. - Megan

I Kissed Dating Goodbye Series on DVD (7-10)
Josh Harris’ book, I Kissed Dating Goodbye
has been the subject of debate and controversy
since it was first published in the late 1990’s.
Some people, it seems, just can’t get past the
bold title. “What’s the matter with dating,
anyway?” they say. Or, “What’s so special
about courtship?” As Josh himself would say,
“Courtship, shmourtship.” The point of I Kissed
Dating Goodbye isn’t about what term we use
to define a romantic relationship. The point isn’t
that couples should only ever interact in groupsettings and never spend time alone. The point,
quite simply, is our attitude about relationships.
Are we looking to God’s word for guidance
in romantic relationships, or have we allowed
ourselves to be influenced by what is culturally
acceptable?
In this thought provoking video based on his
best-selling book, Joshua Harris presents three
messages emphasizing godly attitudes of selflessness and sincerity in pursuing a relationship
with someone of the opposite sex. In this video
version of I Kissed Dating Goodbye, Harris’
sense of humor and sincerity shine through even
more clearly than they do in print. Although
much of the material was not new to me, as I
had read the book already, this video held my
attention from beginning to end.
In part one of the DVD, Josh discusses love as
defined by God – self-sacrificing, placing the
other person’s best interests above your own
desires. Part two focuses on maintaining purity
in an age of compromise - not through a series
of rules, but out of genuine concern for the other
person as a brother or sister in Christ. Part three
is all about trusting in God, waiting on his timing, and allowing him to bring you and your
future spouse together in his perfect way, at just
the right moment. Interspersed throughout the
messages are a number of “breakout sessions,”
short segments wherein Josh digs deeper into
the subject at hand, “on the street” interviews –
eye-opening segments highlighting opinions on
love and sex held by average people, a powerful
dramatization of Josh’s dream “The Room” as
mentioned in his book, and encouraging testimonies from real men and women living by the
principles of I Kissed Dating Goodbye.
Bonus material includes two messages by
Harris, now a pastor at New Life Covenant
Church in Gaithersburg, MD. These messages
were inspired by Josh’s second book, Boy Meets
Girl, and offer solid biblical and practical advice
especially for those transitioning from friendship
to marriage. Whether you are currently in a
relationship or simply planning for the future,
this DVD will inspire and bless you as it did
me. I think you’ll find Josh’s non-judgmental,
non-preachy style to be encouraging and uplifting. ~ Rachel P.

MARRIAGE

Why I Love You Journal (AD)
Marriage is the bedrock of our family and truly
our nation, if we consider the impact marriage
has on culture. As I look back on 25 years of
marriage to a fine man, I would be dishonest if I
said that every day was like the first - respectful,
dreamy-eyed, and captivated. Yet reminding
ourselves of that first love may be helpful for
marital longevity. This is why I love this journal! Designed to preserve your personal love
story together as a married couple, each section
walks you through open-ended questions and
includes a place for special photos. Questions
include a look at your first meeting, activities
you enjoy together, terms of endearment, ways
you are similar and different, favorites together
(television, historical figure, restaurants etc.),
things you find romantic, relationship core
values, pet peeves, and future aspirations. The
authors also draw from astrological signs to
determine how couples can complement one
another. This is a small section that would be
easy to skip if you would prefer. Overall this
is a nicely done journal that will help couples deepen their appreciation for one another
throughout their relationship. Padded HC with
red ribbon and pocket on inside back cover for
storing mementoes. 95pgs. ~ Deanne

EXEMPLARY LIVING
Seasons of a Mother’s Heart (AD)
Not long ago I joked about founding ACLAH –
a support group for moms whose Adult Children
are Living at Home. That’s because I’m in the fall
season of my life – that precious, and undoubtedly too-short – time when my children are adults
but not totally gone from our home. As my joke
implies, there are challenges in this time period
– but then there are challenges at all the others,
too. I remember being a mother of three young
children and wondering how to get everything
done without a good night’s sleep. I remember
the busy, busy homeschooling days.
Sally
Clarkson also knows those challenges intimately.
And by sharing her thoughts and heart about
each “season of a mother’s heart” she helps us to
recognize both our own hearts and to deepen our
dependence on God. This book was first written
over a decade ago when Sally was just beginning
to realize that homeschooling moms need to be
affirmed in their decision to homeschool and to
be validated in the curious lifestyle they have
chosen. Now, revisiting the book, she’s wiser,
more experienced, just as perceptive, and still
committed to bringing encouragement to homeschooling moms. I think you’ll want to take this
book in small doses – savoring each page as the
heart-felt sharing of a good friend. ~ Janice
