About This Book

A practical lesson book for children that presents the Bible as a two-year, question-and-answer curriculum, with simple catechisms keyed to short narrative retellings of Old and New Testament stories. It organizes material into graded lessons, teaching suggestions, reviews, and maps, and offers guidance for dividing classes by age and involving parents. Lessons cover creation through Israel's history and the life of Jesus and the early church, with clear directions for teachers, reproducible leaflets, and pronunciation aids to assist reading and recitation.
