Publisher's Description of Great for God
With bold faith, obedience to God, and love for others, missionaries attempt great things for God.

Each chapter highlights the amazing truths of God’s power at work through the lives of those willing to live for the applause of heaven. Their great accomplishments for God challenge believers to continue to “attempt great things for God. Expect great things from God,” as William Carey once stated. Author and Global Advance founder David Shibley offers Great for God to inspire every Christian, small group, and family devotion time.
Category Description for Galloping the Globe
Galloping the Globe is a unit study centered around geography. It encourages a detailed look at a selection of countries from the six populated continents as well as the North and South Poles and Christmas around the world. Using the countries being studied geographically as the basic platform, the authors have included ideas and references, projects and activities for integrating Bible, people/history, science, literature, vocabulary, internet sources, maps & flags, cooking, music/art, games, puzzles, and crafts into the curriculum.
Galloping the Globe uses a student notebook approach, where the child will actually produce a notebook full of art projects, reports, biographies, geographic dictionary pages, and much more. This is intended to be something they can show to other people, reinforcing and reviewing what they have learned as they explain various facts to friends and family. This is a fairly flexible course, with a full study of every topic listed taking between 2-3 years to complete. You can also pick and choose projects to simply make this a year long course. While geography is the main focus of this unit study, it does a good job of including the resources needed to study the other subjects, too. Consumable work pages are reproducible and available digitally using a QR code inside the back of the book. Answers are included. Printable content include forms, activity sheets, maps, and flags. The guide is also available as a digital download. There are several recommended resources, which are used multiple times throughout the course. These resources include:
- Geography from A-Z: A Picture Glossary
- Children Just Like Me: A New Celebration of Children Around the World
- Missionary Stories with the Millers
- Maps & Globes
- Great for God: Missionaries Who Changed the World
- Eat Your Way Around the World
- Junior Classroom Atlas, 4th Edition
