This inductive study focuses on the texts and gives detailed reading assignments, observation questions, and discussion questions. The book is intended to guide a parent and student, teacher and student, or tutor and student as they read the important works of literature from the Elizabethan through the Age of Victoria. The final works studied are Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and The Picture of Dorian Gray. A comparison of these works allows the students to compare and contrast the competing worldviews of the late 19th century. The text, analysis, and discussion questions are all written from a biblical, Christian worldview.

Any young person who works through one of the Discover 4 Yourself Bible Studies for Kids will emerge with a richer appreciation for the Word of God and a deeper understanding of God’s love and care for them. Jesus in the Spotlight cover chapters 1-10 of the Gospel of John, giving youth a biblical perspective of who Jesus is and how He can change their lives.

Ever wonder how biblical history and ancient Egyptian history fit together? Why was God so angry with Pharaoh, anyway? These were questions we asked when we began our study of Ancient Egypt. We wanted to start our study of Western history by beginning at the beginning. After reading through the Old Testament (which is history, after all) we study ancient Egypt. The Greenleaf Guide to Ancient Egypt presents ten lesson plans, using the six books listed below. Included are vocabulary lists and discussion questions drawn from the reading. Also included are directions for playing a checkerslike game found in Tut s tomb, directions for building a model shaduf (irrigate like the Egyptians ), as well as suggestions for how to adapt your study to fit grades 2-7. Home school tested. Excellent for Konos or Unit studies. Average duration is about 15 weeks. "An absolutely enthralling introduction to this time period." - Mary Pride
