Crossway Books, 1999
A Superb Children Cathecism Book
+ Our 6 year old asks for more! + Great Book, but....
I do not regret it a bit when I decided to go ahead and read this book myself, as a result of one of the boys in my class whom it was intended for as a Christmas gift did not show up last year. I just wish I knew about it earlier and had the privilege to use it as the `textbook' for the class. ...

Mott Media (MI), 2006
Ruth Beechick s latest book offers fresh insight on what the Bible says about learning. Teaching and learning are more effective when people are viewed with heart with the image of God within them.

More Than Dates & Dead People: Recovering a Christian View of History 6 reviews Stephen L. Mansfield
Cumberland House Publishing, 2000
Discovering the love of history
+ Couldn't Put It Down! + Theory of history
I hated history in school, but now I understand why this was so! History was taught to me from the evolutionary, secular humanist mindset, and thus it could have no purpose, plan or meaning. I thoroughly enjoy history now, because I have been freed to see that all history, even our own seemingly ...
