Author
and homeschooling father Kevin Swanson believes that parents are given
responsibility to educate their children, particularly in the critical area of
character. He also believes that God has provided parents great tools to use to
carry out that responsibility. Based on the experiences with his own family
Bible studies, he has put together this series to make it easier for the rest
of us. Focusing on Proverbs, Book 1 covers chapters 1-15, Book 2 chapters
16-23, and Book 3 Proverbs 24-31. Books are divided into a hundred or so
"parts", essentially a daily lesson. Each are short, generally one to
two pages, and includes the Bible verses covered, the author's comments on the
passages, and two or three open-ended discussion questions Verses are quoted
using the King James Version modified to change "thee" to
"you" and removing the "eth" from the end of verbs, for a
more modern feel. The studies are purposely brief, usually covering a short
section of Bible verses. The author's family allows time for each person in the
family to read the passage aloud and then say it together, with the goal of
memorizing the passage. Discussion questions are open-ended to promote greater
interchange for practical application of the verses. A Companion Lesson Book is
also available. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but
fools despise wisdom and instruction." - Proverbs 1:7 Homeschooling father
Kevin Swanson believes that parents are given responsibility to educate their
children, particularly in the critical area of character.
