We were blessed by having the opportunity to review a Bible curriculum, Discovering Our Amazing God, from Deeper Roots Publications. We received the 7th – 9th grade curriculum, so my oldest son was able to jump right in.
This volume includes 10 total lessons, counting the introductory lesson. Some of the topics are Discovering God’s Wisdom, Power, Creativity and Love. Each lesson starts with a Memory Verse and questions to allow the student to begin thinking of the subject. For the next 10 to 14 days, the student is challenged with a scripture passage and questions.
There is a study sheet at the end of each lesson, as well as journaling pages for the student to write his thoughts on what he has studied. An added bonus to the book is the study of different people groups between lessons. Some of those covered in this volume are the Muslims, Hindus, Chinese and Buddhist.
I think my son and I were both pleased with the content of this study. It is challenging to the student, makes them think, but isn’t so time consuming that it ever feels like work. It is very meaty, meaning it doesn’t just skim the surface, and doesn’t require the student to merely learn facts and spit them back. The student is challenged to apply the things they are learning to their life situation.
Deeper Roots offers 3 other volumes for the 7th-9th grades and I am sure they are of the same quality and content. You definitely would not be disappointed with any volume. They also have a high school aged book, Rooted and Grounded. Go to their website to see all the great materials they offer.
