Why We Developed a Bible Curriculum
We believe that knowledge of the Bible, God's Word, is essential for our children (in fact, for all people). How can we know how to live in a way that is pleasing to God if we are not familiar with God's instruction manual? That's why, several years ago, we began searching for a Bible curriculum that our homeschooling family could use. While we do think it is possible to piece together a strong course of study from the hundreds of resources available, several factors began to frustrate us:
-
Many homeschooling curriculum seemed to follow a haphazard approach to learning the Bible, leaving possible gaping holes in our children's knowledge of God.

Many homeschooling curriculum fail to teach the Bible consistently as one book, just as God has progressively revealed it to us. Instead, we saw hit-and-miss teachings, full of cute Bible stories and character-training devices. Large portions of God's Word are never taught at all. We were convinced that if our children came to know and understand God's plan for their lives as revealed in His Word, they would develop Godly character as a natural by-product.
-
Since the majority of Christian teaching emphasizes individual doctrines of the Bible rather than presenting the Bible as one complete, interdependent revelation of God, the result is often heresy, as well as the misinterpretation and overemphasis of certain Scriptures. How many lifelong church members still do not know the Bible as one book? How many have even read through the Bible in its entirety just one time? We didn't want this for our children.
-
Finally, when we found a homeschooling curriculum company that seemed to meet our goals, it was written for just one child to use, usually in a classroom setting. We were searching for a curriculum that we could use to teach all of our children, all at the same time -- at a price we could afford!
That's why we have developed our own homeschooling Bible curriculum. Continue
