Description
___________________________________________________________________________
 
Because children need help understanding that the Bible is one story with Jesus as the hero, the Gospel Story Curriculum: Finding Jesus in the Old Testament focuses on Christ as it teaches preschool through sixth-grade children 78 key stories from Genesis to Malachi that highlight God's plan of redemption. This unique year and a half long curriculum grows with children by exploring the same Bible stories at three different learning levels, presenting the material in a fresh way each time to help children grow in their understanding of the Bible.  Corresponding materials in the The Gospel Story Bible and Long Story Short devotional book allow parents to follow up with the same lesson at home. This versatile curriculum is ideal for church, school, and home use. The forthcoming Gospel Story Curriculum: Following Jesus in the New Testament (available 1/1/2013) and Old Story New: Ten-Minute Devotions to Draw Your Family to God (New Testament available 10/1/2012) complete the three-year Gospel Story for Kids program.
