Richie Hunt, Susan Hunt

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. ...

Heart and Mind: What the Bible Says about Learning
Ruth Beechick

Mott Media (MI), 2006

All other learning theories view man as simply a body. The body learns by seeing, hearing, and sensing in other ways, but it is the heart that acts upon these stimuli. This book contains the most ...

Stephen L. Mansfield

Cumberland House Publishing, 2000

Discovering the love of history
