{"id":440,"count":49,"description":"The Bible contains the foundational stories of the Christian faith. The Christian Studies program is a kind of literature study of these stories. It is delivered in three parts.\r\n\r\nThe first is a K-2 enrichment book that is used with The Story Bible<\/a>. This three-year program will read through all the Bible stories with the children once. Each lesson will review big words and ask comprehension questions.\r\n\r\nThe second part is for grades 3-5 and it covers the stories of the Bible in three years. This part is based on The Golden Children\u2019s Bible<\/a>. Each lesson covers Facts to Know, Comprehension Questions, Geography, Activities, and Memory Verses.\r\n\r\nThe third part is a one-year overview of the entire Bible. It can start at grade 6 and it relies on the student\u2019s understanding of the stories of the Bible as they read through the Reader which has an overview of each book. The Student Guide will then review key people, terms, and geography and an outline of each book.\r\n\r\nQuestions that commonly arise ask about the Bible story books that are used in this program. While the student and teacher\u2019s guide refer to the required storybook pages, they also refer to the stories being taught. So one could use any story Bible to complete this course, but it would be best to use the recommended resources. These resources are the closest to the text that I\u2019ve seen, which is one of the strengths of this program. Without getting theological, or imposing judgement on characters and situations, these texts faithfully tell the stories that are recorded in the Scripture.\r\n\r\nThe course is a Bible literacy course, not a theological treatise or Bible study. It tells the story and helps the student remember the characters, time, and place. As such, it is a good resource for all Christians who want to know the Bible well, commit passages and texts to memory, and understand key phrases and words.\r\n\r\nQuick facts:\r\n
