This curriculum seeks to answer heartfelt questions and give children a biblical framework to help them develop strong Christian character while learning biblical truths. It is a collection of biblical doctrines assembled into a question-and-answer format. Along with learning sound doctrine, children also learn Christian virtues and scripture memorization while enjoying a wide range of activities.

(These books are also available to purchase separately for each student). The well-organized Leader Guides contain the 52 question and answer lessons, a Bible passage, materials needed for the lesson, discussion and question time, focus time on a specific virtue, activities, and teacher notes. Each part of the lesson has a time symbol suggesting the amount of time leaders should allow for each part to be completed. The guides include lesson outlines for a 75, 45, or 30-minute class time. Memorization is a key element of the curriculum and activities will help children learn and memorize the scripture and questions. The Resource Book is a companion to the guides.
