Description
REMEMBERING GOD’S AWESOME ACTS is different from traditional textbooks which only teach one subject. Although the primary focus is Bible and Ancient History, the impressive lap-book style student notebook includes a drawing course, a structured creative writing course, speech and drama. In addition, geography, anthropology, archeology and linguistics are studied. The ultimate purpose of each element is to give the student a better understanding of the Bible. The focus is not on the individual subjects, but on studying issues, playing with concepts and mastering skills while learning discernment and logic.
When studying the Tower of Babel and the dispersion of the nations, the student does a country study from each continent. This includes not only facts about a country, but also the nation’s prayer needs, major religions and availability of scriptures. Art lessons help the student to appreciate the different facial features of other peoples. And language studies (using college-level techniques) help develop an awareness of the work of missionaries.

Ann A –
I love this book. I used it with my 3 sons in homeschooling. They learned about Biblical poetry, translating languages, about different and varied cultures, about missions, and about ancient Egypt’s beliefs and culture at the time of Moses (something I had always wanted to learn about) among other things. There are art lessons too but we didn’t use them much (my boys do enough drawing on their own… ) I highly recommend this book–I hope it isn’t out of print…

Thank you for your kind comments! The book is still available–the Teacher’s Manual is still in print, while the Student Notebook is a downloadable pdf. file that you can print out as many copies as you need for your family!

I had semi-used this with my older kids, but with so many to teach at once I didn’t get as far along in it as I am now with my last one. This workbook is a treasure-trove! It covers so much material in interesting and varying ways. I’m going to drop doing some of my daughter’s other separate subjects and just concentrate on this book since it covers so many subjects. Thanks again for all your fun and in-depth materials (we’ve used Alphabet Island and Considering God’s Creation also).
