Positive Action Bible Curriculum Review @ HomeschoolReviewCrew.com

The Bible tells us in Proverbs 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he grows older he will not abandon it” (NASB). Teaching our children the Bible is an essential task, but we often find ourselves struggling with how to teach it effectively. While reading the Bible is very important, having a solid and quality Bible curriculum can provide you the confidence needed to guide your child through the Bible.

Positive Action Bible Curriculum

Positive Action Bible Curriculum started when churches began to seek out lessons taught by youth group leader Frank Hamrick. His energetic teachings and humor, along with his love for God and the Bible, began a passion for equipping churches, schools, and other ministries with teaching materials. 

Positive Action Bible Curriculum goes beyond your typical Bible Curriculum of reading through scripture; it seeks to develop a God-Focus. What is a God-Focus? It is seeking God’s glory and grace through all things. The curriculum seeks to develop and strengthen a God-Focus within your child. Your child will learn of God’s glory, how God’s glory is magnified through imperfect people, the perfection and sacrifice of Jesus, and how we abide in Christ.

Wise Up—Wisdom in Proverbs

Positive Action Bible Curriculum Reviews@ HomeschoolReviewCrew.com

As our children grow into the middle school years or young teen years, they are often faced with new challenges and responsibilities. As parents, we seek for them to learn how to handle difficult decisions, build positive relationships, and keep God in the center of their lives. Wise Up is a Bible curriculum that will introduce your child to the wisdom found in Proverbs. This curriculum contains 35 weekly lessons to develop and strengthen your child’s life to be more Christ-like. A scope and sequence PDF is available on the website for this curriculum. 

The student workbook is a softcover book that contains student exercises, lesson notes, and pencil artwork. The student exercises are engaging, allowing your child to think of ways to apply the Proverbs wisdom into everyday life. It is also a great tool for parents to use with their older children as a learning tool and a good way to connect with your child.
