It is time again to share another sneak peek for our newest guide Missions to Modern Marvels.
This one is a truly wonderful sneak peek, in an area near and dear to my heart! It is the area of God's precious Word and how we plan for it to live and thrive in your child's homeschool day. One of the huge benefits of moving your child's history and science readings to being done independently, as CM definitely advocated, is that it opens up our teaching time to be spent in training our children's characters, hearts, and minds. Plus, in the middle school and high school years, using resources like the one I'm sharing below keeps a dialogue flowing between parent and child often on important topics that matter for eternity.
With this in mind, we've planned for twice weekly reading and discussion sessions using Who Am I? And What Am I Doing Here?
Here is the publisher's description of this book: The second book in the What We Believe series, Who Am I? (And What Am I Doing Here?) helps children understand what it means to be fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of the Most High God. This study will enable students to develop a healthy self-image based on these biblical truths: God made me in His image and crowned me with glory; He has given me special gifts and a unique purpose in life; I can creatively express God's love; I am meant to think about beautiful and praiseworthy things, especially God and His Word; I must make decisions based on God's truth; I can always know the wise thing to do; I must cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in my life; I am a beloved child of God whose true identity is found in Christ.

We also love the fact that this particular book provides a glimpse at many of the world's religions, allowing kiddos insight into each one through stories of children raised in that particular religion. Probing questions help students think through how various religions compare to what God tells us in His Word. This study will result in many terrific, and very needed, discussions with our children about how to live a life devoted to our Lord. It will also address many questions about self-image and how we can glorify the Lord with our lives.
This is a beautiful study with terrific life applications, and we are excited to schedule it in our guide. Blessings,
Carrie
