This academic Bible curriculum introduces essential Christian doctrines to middle schoolers, challenging them to study God's character and respond to His Word. At this age, your students face growing personal responsibilities and increasingly complex questions about their beliefs. This study can help your students appreciate the structure of the Christian faith"its simple truths, the vast wisdom underneath, and the knowable yet incomprehensible Person holding it all together.

Lessons fall under five main units:

  • Unit 1: Birth - Salvation
  • Unit 2: Growth - Scripture
  • Unit 3: Breath - Prayer
  • Unit 4: Communication - Witnessing and Discipleship
  • Unit 5: Behavior - Daily Living

The fourth edition includes unit tests, a heavily revised final unit (Lessons 28 - 35), and a host of improvements based on teacher feedback.

  • Engaging Design"printed softbound, reference-style workbook includes original artwork and study activities on 7x9" pencil-friendly pages

I can see why we have had multiple requests for this Bible curriculum.

They now make their materials available for homeschool as they strive to teach the child's heart as well as the head.
