Filled with a variety of age-appropriate activities, the
coordinating workbook to Taking
Africa for Jesus will help your student review concepts and broaden his
knowledge. Each lesson includes mapwork, Scripture questions, and comprehension
questions. At the end of each quarter are project-based enrichment activities. The
recommended “semester project” is a tri-fold board to study one country in
depth. One workbook is needed for each student since pages are
non-reproducible.
At the beginning is a course introduction and a suggested
schedule to complete the text and workbook in 36 weeks. Also included are grading
guidelines, four quarterly multiple-choice exams, and one final exam, with
answer keys. In the back are extra black-line maps for reference. All Bible
verses are from the NKJV. Softcover, 129 pages. ~Tara
Publisher's Description of Taking Africa for Jesus Student Workbook
Embark on an epic journey through the history of Africa with this
exciting history course! Beginning in the Old Testament period, students
will survey the history of ancient Egypt. Following the ascension of
the Lord Jesus, the reader will trace the spreading reign of Jesus as
the church spreads throughout Africa.
Century after century, God has been at work in Africa. This book
contains some of the most thrilling stories about the advance of the
Gospel in what many have called the 'dark continent.' Now, because of
Jesus Christ, the Light of the world, a once dark continent is walking
more and more in the light of Christ. Today, Christianity is expanding
at a rapid rate throughout Africa. Learn what God has done!
Written to teach children about the providence of God in
history, the Generations History courses offer homeschool families an open-and-go
option that is engaging to readers and easy to use. Beginning in kindergarten, My
1st History shows children that God calls people for His purpose
and glory. Through the 34 stories, children will be introduced to some of these
amazing men and women from biblical times through the 20th century. Following
the readings, My 1st History includes short discussion
questions on the story. Church History is introduced in the grade 1 course,
which also lays the foundation for the courses that follow. Once the foundation
is laid, the subsequent courses teach geography and Christian history across
the continents. Along with the Textbook, a companion Activity Book (grade 1) or
Workbook (grades 2–6) is recommended. In grade 1, the Activity Book is full-color,
while the other grade-level Workbooks are black and white. Activities vary and
may include coloring pages, mapping exercises, Scripture writing, prayer
points, enrichment activities, and special projects. The consumable
Activity/Workbooks are not reproducible. Sets include the Textbook and the
corresponding Activity Book or Workbook.
