Christian Liberty Press Bible Curriculum

Description

The Bible curriculum from Christian Liberty Press provides families with a biblically-solid, affordable way to study God’s Word. It is structured in three levels: Bible Nuggets and Bible Treasures introduce God’s Word for PreK-2nd grade; Studying God’s Word for grades 3-7 begins with lessons from the Old and New Testament and concludes with the gos­pels and Book of Acts; and Journey through Bible for grades 7-9 offers a three-year path to study the entire counsel of God’s Word.

BIBLE NUGGETS (PK) & BIBLE TREASURES (K-2)

Bible Nuggets offers short, easy-to-im­plement lessons that include a short Bible story, colorful illustrations, memory verse, discussion question, and key Bible truth to learn. The Activity Book includes coloring, cut and paste pages, story sequencing, and more. Bible Treasures is a consumable work­text that covers the major stories in the Bible in chronological order that have been adapt­ed from The Child’s Story Bible.

STUDYING GOD'S WORD (3-7)

Studying God’s Word is being updated to offer a 36-week schedule for the school year. At this time, Books D, E, and F have been updated with G and H to follow. God’s Plan for His People (Grade 3) includes lessons from the Old Testament and New Testament in a story format before embarking on a chronological study in Grades 4-7. Preparing God’s People (Grade 4) covers Genesis to Ruth, and The Rise and Fall of the Kingdom (Grade 5) completing the Old Testament. In Grade 6, students study the mission and ministry of Jesus chronologically. Grade 7 takes a chronological look at Acts.

JOURNEY THROUGH THE BIBLE (7-9)

Divided into 3 years, students read through the whole counsel of God’s Word with Journey Through the Bible, a course for grades 7-9 that requires students to read several chapters a day. As they read, they think through the readings and how to apply it to their own lives. Courses avoid debatable theological interpretations, while offering theological discussion questions for the fami­ly. This is also an excellent resource for older students and adults who wish to read through the Bible.
