Bible Road Trip is a 3 Year Bible Survey for children and young adults, beginning in Genesis and progressing through Revelation. Year One covers the books of the law and history in the Old Testament. Year Two covers the books of poetry and prophecy in the Old Testament. Year Three covers the New Testament. Bible Road Trip may be used as a class in your homeschool, in a Sunday School, co-op or small group setting, or as a plan to assist in your evening family worship. The Bible Road Trip syllabus is highly customizable. You may choose the items that appeal to your family. The time your family needs each week will depend upon which level you are using, and how many of the additional resources you choose to apply. For example, there are several craft suggestions each week for the Lower Grammar level. You can do all, or none, of the crafts. DVD and literature suggestions may enrich your Bible Road Trip experience, but are, again, optional. Each year is scheduled over a 32 week period of time. This allows for four weeks of leeway in a standard 36 week school year. You may choose to use those four weeks to spend more time in any given book. You will notice the reading per week is divided by topic rather than by work load. You may wish to spend more time on a week with a heavy reading load, such as Year One Week 8 ~ Leviticus. The survey is written as a syllabus, and divided into grade levels. You may choose from Preschool-Kindergarten, Grades 1-3, Grades 4-6, Grades 7-9, Grades 10-12, or you may pick and choose resources from the 3 sections to meet the needs of your family. You will want to consider your students individually when choosing the level for your family. Bible Road Trip will prepare your students for a lifetime of Bible study. Students will journey through the Bible book by book, studying each book for the background history, major themes, key verses, God s messages, and the book s role in the overall revelation of God s story. Suggestions are included each week for core background reading, Scripture reading, notebooking, memory verses, prayer, enrichment activities, and art projects. Following are the yearly schedules, as well as the primary resources required for each level. Please observe the copyright statement when using Bible Road Trip ~ I appreciate your consideration.
