So, here’s the thing. I’ve seen and used a lot of Bible curricula over the years…
…and so, so much of it avoids going deep or getting to the meat of the matter. Whether that is the result of trying to be too ecumenical or what, I don’t know. What I do know is:
THIS BOOK has Blown. Me. Away. In short, it’s:
- Refreshing
- Biblical
- Deep
- Age-Appropriate
- Meaty
- Readable
- Engaging
- Anchoring
From the back cover: In this virulently humanist age, parents must give their children a biblical perspective of the world around them. People everywhere are tossed to and fro by many false philosophies in a raging hurricane of post-modern, post-Christian humanism. Now more than ever, we must bolt our children down to the deck of biblical truth!
I actually thought it was going to be too juvenile at first glance, but their recommended age (9+) is, in fact, perfect. There are some big concepts (such as understanding what epistemology is on a basic level) and serious topics (such as abortion), and I would not recommend it for ages younger than nine. Other more sensitive topics briefly touched on are euthanasia and capital punishment.
We’ve been working through it for a number of weeks now, and the conversations that have stemmed from it are priceless. Both my 9yo and 11yo are enthusiastic participants, and it’s been such a joy. You can absolutely use it at any pace–it’s set up with 10 chapters, so if you only have a few minutes a day, it would be easy to finish in 10 weeks. My kids and I were able to work through it slightly faster as we spent more time each day on it.
Seriously consider adding this to your family’s reading. 🙌🏼
