$5.58 – $11.86

Product Overview
This accessible and engaging book gives parents a grasp of what the Bible is (and is not), and helps them communicate its truth to their children faithfully, powerfully, and with joy. Peter Enns (author of the popular NIV Application Commentary on Exodus) provides parents and teachers with a straightforward and intelligent plan for teaching the Bible. Beginning with the Gospels to introduce the youngest students to Jesus, Enns suggests continuing on to the more complex stories of the Old and New Testaments for middle grade students, and finally guiding high school students into a vital understanding of the history and culture of biblical times.
Telling God’s Story is designed to help parents as they encourage their children to become mature, knowledgeable, and humble followers of Jesus.

I am going to to use “Telling God’s Story” with my granddaughter. Will I need both the Parent’s guide and the Instructor text/ parent’s guide text book?

We are starting to homeschool our daughter at the 4th grade level. I am now in search of next year’s curricula. Telling God’s Story is intriguing but we will not be homeschooling for the full 12 year cycle. Is this series set up as a “stand alone” or do you have to include all 12 years in your study cycle?
Thank you!

For middle grade students just starting with this curriculum should we start with one of the later books in the four instructor’s texts? Or is it necessary to start at year one?

I am homeschooling three children (6th grade, 4th grade & 1st grade). Is this curriculum appropriate for me to use with all 3?

Question
Jess Imiela –
Is it just the 4 year levels available at this stage? I can’t find any more for high school level even though it’s mentioned a full 12 year level course?

This specific book, A Parent’s Guide to Teaching the Bible, describes a thorough approach to teaching the Bible. It talks about why it is so difficult to teach, what the Bible is and isn’t, the stages of teaching (elementary, middle grades, high school), why some traditional approaches have drawbacks, and introduces the narrative pattern of the Bible. It stands on its own as a teaching reference for parents (although it’s also a great introduction to the curriculum.
The Instructor Texts and Activity Books are a curriculum with scripted lessons, and only have the four years available.
