Teaching Your Children ALL of the Bible, At Home



One homeschooling mother had the vision to develop a curriculum -- not necessarily for homeschoolers -- that would go through the Bible every three years in a relatively non-sectarian manner.

Thus, a child beginning at, say, first grade, could possibly go through the Bible four times by the time of high school graduation!  Wow!  And it would not be the same go-through every time, since there are about four levels in the course material.  As the child went through the various levels of mental maturity, the approach would change.  However, all kids in the household would be on the same Bible passage at the same time and would be able, therefore, to discuss it together.

This, as it happens, is not a free course, since the materials cost something to produce.   However, if anyone is interested, I shall provide a link, here:


For those of you not interested in a curriculum for your kids, there are other interesting finds on this website.
This Christian woman, Danika Cooley, has developed a "Sermon Notebook" so that your kids can take kid-level, age-appropriate notes during a sermon.  Having said that, she realizes that they are kids, not adults, and gives them, as part of this, a bit of colouring or a puzzle or something like that for moments when it is too "deep."   One interesting part is choosing a hymn sung at the service that the child particularly liked.   Another is putting down "something to ask Mom and Dad." 

Yet another "goody" on this site is a Family Prayer Box which helps kids with various kinds of prayers.  I also got a free copy of that!   You can get it for free by subscribing to Danika Cooley's  free newsletter.  Here is the link:

The blog tells about many interesting products, other than those mentioned here, so, here is the general website link if you wish to investigate further:
