VeritasBible.com - TOS Review

As a Christian family, it is very important to us that our children know their Bible and be quite literate of the content contained therein. Veritas Press has come up with a pretty cool online program that can help with that: VeritasBible.com.

VeritasBible.com is an online subscription program that teaches your students about what's in Bible. It takes you through the stories of the Bible starting from Genesis through to the New Testament. Once you get an account, you can create different profiles for your kids and each child can then go through it at their own pace. You get to choose which part of the Bible to focus on (Genesis to Joshua, Judges to Kings, or the Gospels). Being a firm believer in starting from the beginning, I had the boys start at Genesis. I had them use the program on a daily basis.

The program is set up like a road map. Each stop represents a lesson, and the lessons are grouped by themes or events such as:

Creation
The Fall
Cain and Abel
Enoch and Methusalah
The flood
Etc...

Every few lessons contain tests which in turn earn you stars (the number of which depending on how well you did).

The lessons themselves are very engaging. They contain narrations, animations, games, songs, and Scripture reading. The lessons are told by people who are acting as if they lived in the time of Joshua, retelling what happened.

The boys liked the program. They thought it was light-hearted and enjoyable. They like that it is interactive and not monotone. They were not that impressed about the talking animals, but overall thought it was a nice program. They also felt that a lot of it was topics that they already knew, so it might be repetitive for older kids that have been immersed in the Bible all their lives.

This program is a great option though for a Bible curriculum. I personally love the abundant presence of actual Bible passages. I also love the repetition and review built in the program.p through the games and the tests.

Veritas Press has wonderful graded curriculum, among which is a Bible curriculum ( which other crew members got to review as well), but VeritasBible.com's subscription program is definitely another good option worth checking out.

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone, and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation. Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip , has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's sto...

Our Current Homeschool Routine - Virtual Homeschool Fair - Week 2

For week 2 of the Virtual Homeschool Fair, which is hosted by Homeschooling Hearts and Minds , we are talking method of homeschooling. When it comes to the how of homeschooling, and the method that we all follow, with the 20 plus blogger participating I can guarantee you, no method will be the same. Homeschooling is a lifestyle and a path unto a goal or toward a direction that each family sets for itself. For us, this encompasses academic rigor, as well as Christian values and depth of understanding of how to live in this world as Christians. To that end, earlier on we had settled on a classical education. 10 years into it, I cannot say we have been very good classical homeshooler. We did not follow the method and philosophy to a T but instead adapted it to our family's routine and rhythm. We became more relaxed classical homeschooler. I had good intentions with the Latin and Greek, but not enough discipline and it did not appeal to the boys; my oldest son did two years, the...

When Lightning Struck - A Book review

Are you studying the Reformation? Do you love Historical Fictions? Do you love reading about the heros of the faith? Then read on... As a homeschooler I always encourage my fellow homeschoolers to include Historical fictions in their study of History as it helps students really enter the time period that they are studying and get a better picture of how people lived and what they felt. I recently had the privilege of reading a historical fiction titled When Lightning Struck: The Story of Martin Luther . If you have never heard of Martin Luther or read anything about him, you are missing out and here is your chance to learn who he was and what he did in an enjoyable way. When Lightning Struck is written for Middle and High schooler, but I could not put it down. If you love reading you will devourer this book. It would also work really well as a read-aloud for upper-elementary kids. It contains 23 chapters of average length that will keep you wanting to know more. When Lightni...
