Here’s what Cindy Greenplate, 18 year veteran Home School mom said:
…I just received my order and I am so excited! I have been homeschooling for 18 years, and this is the best Bible curriculum I have ever seen! It incorporates the three components that I have constantly tried to find ways to teach my kids; Bible memory, inductive study with an emphasis on application, and a heart for the world resulting in participation in the Great Commission. It seems like one or the other always ended up slipping through the cracks. I can hardly believe I found them all in one place! And with a teachers guide that helps me do it with excellence. I am honestly at a loss for words. It is exactly the Bible program I would have written if I were to write one (and had the time and the talent!)….

Godstruck Ministries 4 Kids

Godstruck-Kids-Logo-High-Transparent-365x215

“Let Christ’s word with all its wisdom and richness live in you. Use psalms, hymns and spiritual songs to teach and instruct yourselves about God’s kindness. Sing to God in your hearts” (from God’s Word Translation). As the theme verse for Godstruck Ministries 4 Kids, Colossians 3:16 speaks to the heart and soul of why this ministry exists. Our mission is to help children hide God’s Word and principles in their hearts through His wonderful gift of music.

He has brought together a team of individuals who love the Lord and who have contributed the talents and abilities He has given each one for this vision to become a reality. Godstruck Ministries 4 Kids and the “Sing God’s Word” projects were born out of a desire several years ago to set VBS Bible verses to catchy tunes of different genre. In a VBS setting where many verses may be presented over a very short time, it is highly unlikely that if they are just stated verbally, they will be retained. But, giving those same verses melodies and providing interesting accompaniments greatly increases the likelihood of memorization.

Apologia

whatwebelieve
Our children are bombarded daily with competing messages. Every song, movie, book, TV show, blog, and game is full of ideas–ideas about God, people, truth, beauty, and right and wrong. Not all of these ideas are true. Some are deceptive and even destructive. Because it is more important than ever that children learn to discern the truth, Apologia has partnered with Summit Ministries to bring the What We Believe series to your family.

The What We Believe series is an outstanding way to teach children the essential beliefs of the Christian faith, but it’s so much more! With this beautifully illustrated Bible-based curriculum, your children will learn to use Scripture as a lens though which to view the world around them. Featuring engaging stories, creative notebooking, and fun activities, this four-part series is presented in a conversational style that makes the study of God’s Word exciting and memorable for the whole family!

Veritas Bible

400x400 VeritasBible
Veritas Bible is the most exciting way for your children to learn the Bible. We have taken the Self-Paced Bible courses and put them into an unbelievably exciting environment that has exciting animations and “worlds” that change after each lesson is completed.
We think Veritas Bible is incredibly exciting, but don’t just take our word for it, try it for yourself today with TWO WEEKS FREE!
“My son has been doing the self-paced Bible course for a few months now, and he is really loving it! It has increased his Bible knowledge a lot, and has reinforced some knowledge that he already had. It is a fun way of learning and retaining important Bible facts, and we definitely recommend to all! Thank you Veritas Press! It has been a real blessing for our family.” -Chantal
