Apologia: Who Is God?

What kind of worldview do your children have? Do you even know what your own worldview is? Well, in this world of upheaval and unrest, it is imperative that we know and teach our children from a biblical worldview-a lens through which we view everything that goes on in the world. And, to help you, us, in that challenge, Apologia Educational Ministries: www.apoloiga.com  has added some wonderful, new books to their already fabulous selection of curriculum and helps for Christian families.

This new series:  What We Believe, is an evangelical, Christian perspective on the importance of teaching our children God’s view of the world to children ages 6-14, but it can be adapted for older students as well, I think. But, let me let them tell you about it:

” Our children are bombarded on a daily basis with competing messages. Every song, movie, book, TV show, blog, and game is full of ideas—ideas about truth, morality, beauty, identity, faith, and more. Not all of these ideas are true. Some are wrong, some are deceptive, and some are outright destructive. It is more important than ever that young children be equipped to discern among competing ideas and stand in the truth. This is why Apologia has teamed with Summit Ministries to bring you the “What We Believe” Series. The “What We Believe” Series is an outstanding way to teach your child the essential beliefs of the Christian faith, but it’s so much more! With this student-directed, Bible-based curriculum, your children will learn how to use Scripture as a lens through which to view the world around them—to see everything the way God sees it—and know the truth.”

We received the first book in it: Who Is God? And Can I Really Know Him?

COMING SOON: details on how the book is broken down into lessons and sections.

How did we use it, you ask? Well, I’m glad you did. I had PT do the lessons on his own. He is in that stage where he doesn’t want to interact with the younger siblings much, so in the interest of peace, I allowed that. After he finished an entire lesson, I would have him discuss it with me. And the other three and I are doing them together. We are not going through it as quickly as they suggest, but again, that is the beauty of homeschooling-flexibility. We read and discuss as we go along, and they are enjoying it. The notebooking pages are not a good fit for them, but I saw in the Apologia catalog that I received a few days ago, that they are going to offer another notebooking product and a coloring book, and I am eagerly looking forward to seeing those. I think especially my younger two will enjoy the coloring book. I do plan on having my 10 year old do some more writing-notebooking type of thing with it after Spring Break; he needs a way to express what he is learning, and they have extra pages you can access that help with that.

This wonderful book sells for $39 and, and I want to mention that the second one in the series: Who Am I? is also available now. Stay tuned for the 3rd: Who Is My Brother? and the 4th: What Can I Do? soon. Also, I received a catalog in the mail this past week and Apologia is going to be offering notebooks and coloring books for Who Is God? soon. Yay; since we are not very far along, I am planning on purchasing those to add to my children’s experience.
