The Greenleaf Guide To Old Testament History

This readings in this book take you through the history of Israel from Genesis to Nehemiah, chronologically. The Old Testament's history of Israel is divided into 180 Bible readings (approximately 1-2 chapters each). For each reading there is a series of questions to help you focus on the significant details. There are also background notes, and suggestions on how to cover the material and keep it interesting. The book is intended as a first history course for the early elementary grades, though many parents are using it with high school students. "The Old Testament is the perfect place to start teaching history since it truly starts at the beginning. Many of us shy away from such a study because of the difficulties we might encounter, but the Shearers have made it much easier with this guide." - Cathy Duffy One of Cathy Duffy's "Top 100 Picks for Homeschool Curriculum."

5Excellent guide to help teach children ancient history.  Nov 14, 1999

The Greenleaf Guide is an excellent resource to help you teach your children ancient history and Old Testament history. For each lesson, you read a chapter or so of the Old Testament. The guide then gives you questions to discuss, explanations of the historical setting, as well as suggestions for how to handle "complicated" readings from the Bible. The guide is helpful even if you want to read it to study Old Testament history yourself.

4Old Testament The Painless Way!  May 03, 2000
By Mrs. Lori Newton
As we have used this guide through the past year I would say that it is fairly simple & straight forward in style. It uses a question format that's easy to use. Read a few passages of bible text & pose the questions from the guide. Even our 4 & 6 year olds like to give a try at answering the questions though it is geared to older children!

4Good study designed for young students  Aug 05, 2003
By Kathleen Funk
My 8 year old son and I read through the Old Testament's historical books using this book as our guide to discussion topics. The Shearer's have presented some interesting questions and comments on the Old Testament scriptures and I found myself learning almost as much as my son did! I would recommend this book for parents with children in elementary school, or even older.

5The Greenleaf Guide to the Old Testament  Oct 24, 2008
By Karen Sanchez "Karen, Mom of 3"
This is our 2nd copy of the Greenleaf Guide to the Old Testament. We wore the first one out after about 8 years. So we are fans. It gives you great questions that are a great starting point discussions. It helps the kids think through what we've just read.

5Excellent & Easy to Use Resource  Aug 01, 2011
By Stephanie Wright
I used this with our children in our homeschool. It is wonderful for multi-age teaching as you are able to help younger ones understand the material without boring the older ones. I love it and would highly recommend the whole Greenleaf Guide series. We used all that were available at the time. We are now buying another copy so that my husband can use it as a Sunday School resource for our church.
