FROM CHRISTIAN LIGHT

Events in the Bible took place far away and long ago. Christian Light Bible helps students learn Bible stories and teaching, Bible culture and geography, and Biblical principles for life.

The Bible stories are the most wonderful retelling I have heard. I teach Sunday school and I have seen a lot. There is nothing better than Christian Light. –North Carolina

  5. Realize that the Christian church is the actual body of Christ, empowered and charged by Him to do His work in the world.
  6. Understand and be able to give Scripture references for teaching on major doctrines of the Bible.

Elementary

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Bible tells us that the goal of instructing children in the Scriptures is that they might set their hope in God (Psalm 78:1‑7).
During the earliest years, we endeavor to familiarize the student with the content of Bible accounts and to generate enthusiasm for God’s story, thus laying a foundation for building deeper understanding as children mature. Students are not tested on their work in Grades 1 and 2.
Lessons in Grades 3-6 are built on Bible stories that are masterfully retold in the student LightUnits. After reading the lesson text, students complete the exercises, including working with maps of Bible lands. Most stories are illustrated with realistic pencil drawings.
In Grades 7 and 8, students study the New Testament, guided by commentary and stories that are printed in the LightUnits.

I appreciated that the Bible curriculum is straightforward Biblical teaching throughout. –Michigan

OVERVIEW

LightUnits

The students do their work in LightUnits, which are divided into daily lessons. The LightUnits are numbered 01 through 05 (for example, 501 through 505 for Grade 5). Grades 1-5 have five LightUnits each. Grades 6-12 have ten LightUnits each.
Students work through LightUnits one at a time in consecutive order. Each LightUnit (except in Grades 1 and 2) contains two quizzes and one test.

Teacher's Guides

Grades 1-8 feature Teacher’s Guides with answers filled in on student pages. Teacher’s Guides also provide teaching instructions, discussion questions, and alternate tests.

Answer Keys

Grades 4-12 feature Answer Keys that are optional if you use the Teacher’s Guides (available for 1-8). The answers are in a list format rather than a copy of the student page.
