Old Testament Survey
Publisher/Author
Logos Press
Other Information
Level: 7-12
Description
“Covering an entire year, this study guide emphasizes important historical characters in a chronological framework. This package includes:
The major theme is the Bible as God’s revealed will and His loving provision for our salvation; thus, it stresses Messianic connections. It is our underlying desire to help students see how Scripture applies to all aspects of their lives, and that Biblical characters were real people, living in real places, who made choices to be obedient or not obedient—just like themselves!
This survey emphasizes important historical characters and places within a chronological framework. The major theme of the Bible as God’s revealed will and His loving provision for our salvation is shown by stressing Messianic connections. A foundational assumption is that the New Testament builds on the Old. Underneath is a desire to help students see how Scripture applies to all aspects of their lives.
This Old Testament Survey is based on our 7th Grade Bible class and covers Genesis to Malachi.” – Logos Press

Our Mother Tongue
Publisher/Author
Nancy Wilson, Exodus Books
Other Information
Level: 7-12
Description
“The study of grammar is the study of the rules that govern a language. Nancy Wilson asserts the best place to start for a thorough understanding of the English language is English grammar, and in Our Mother Tongue: A Guide to English Grammar she articulately outlines and explains those rules. Good communication, she maintains, is the result of familiarity and comfort within the structure of the language. There’s nothing flashy here—just straightforward grammar instruction—but the idea is for students to become intimately acquainted with the mechanics and form of our language, not to keep them entertained. Instead, this is a clear introduction to a too often neglected subject.” – Exodus Books
