About this title

From the Author:

It's exciting to see somany churches and families continuing to discover Route 66, using it to help their kids discover or deepentheir love for God's Word! I've been getting some questions lately throughmy website that I'd like to try to answer here. (Most of them are answeredin the introduction to the book -- but the "search inside" preview isn't always available.)  
 
The lessons are intendedto get kids opening the Bible themselves -- flipping through its pages --actually reading it, not just listening to someone else or watching avideo. They include worksheets with questions, which younger children can complete as a group; however, students do need to be able to read and write, so the book is listed as "Grades 2-5." You can use any Bible translation you choose. The materials were created to be used by churches of any traditional Christian denomination. The emphasis is on basic Bible facts; the only doctrine is that taught in Scripture, as described in the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed, and commonly accepted as the essential definition of Christianity. 
Each week there aresuggestions for Bible stories you can teach, but not a prescribed story orpassage -- so that you can choose what's most appropriate for the ages of the children in your group and their familiarity with Scripture. We do skip around a little with the historical books, because there's some repetition in theScripture itself. (We didn't want to confuse kids by covering the life of King David, going on to the other kings, then coming back to David again.) There are some fun gamesand crafts and puzzles, at least one a week. And then other suggestions for you to take the theme and run with it.
 
Finally, sometimes I'm asked about my own denominational background. Before I answer, it might help to know that this book was produced by Carson-Dellosa'sChristian publishing division -- they only publish traditional, orthodoxChristian church resources. They vetted me thoroughly as an author before theypublished me, and this wasn't my first book for them. My own church background and ministry is interdenominational. I have a bachelors degree in ChristianLeadership (with a minor in Systematic Theology) and a masters degree in BiblicalTheology from two reputable, nationally accredited evangelical Christianuniversities. You can find more information on either of my websites -- ChristinDitchfield.com or TakeItToHeartRadio.com -- or my Amazon Author Page.

So grateful for each oneof you who volunteers your time to teach His precious little ones. May Godrichly bless you!

From the Back Cover:

There’s more to the Bible than Noah’s Ark, David and Goliath, or Daniel in the Lions’ Den! Route 66: A Trip through the 66 Books of the Bible takes kids on a life-changing journey through each of the 66 books of the Bible, exploring the wonders of God’s Word―and the adventure to be found in a deeper relationship with Him.

Perfect for Sunday school, VBS, Christian school, or homeschool, children will learn each book’s main characters and stories, as well as its author, era, purpose, and key verse. The lessons are divided into three 12-week units, but each page can stand alone―without any prior instruction―so that it can be used in a pinch or to supplement other materials.

Route 66: A Trip through the 66 Books of the Bible also includes bonus pages guiding kids to study the Bible for themselves, have personal devotions, keep a prayer journal, and memorize Scripture. This is one road trip you won’t want to miss!
