FROM ATHEIST TO APOLOGIST: Lessons from Lewis, the Great Christian Storyteller"

In this “Age of Tolerance,” Christians are in danger of forgetting (or never learning) what distinguishes the worldview of the believer from that of the unbeliever. The world shouts its perspective from myriad media screens and billboards. Rather than allow the world to introduce moral matters to your children—and it will—seize the opportunity to present a perspective they are not likely to stumble upon while surfing the web. Discover how you can use the life and work of C. S. Lewis as a powerful tool to help your students gain a biblical perspective on those timeless philosophical questions which inevitably arise in the mind of any truth seeker.

PHILOSOPHY ADVENTURE: Essential Skills for a Changing World

The world is changing.

To do so, we must first be awakened to the ungodly messages assaulting us…and learn how to counter those messages with Truth. Come learn how we can teach our children to write skillfully, think critically, and speak articulately as they engage with the world of ideas.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART? (a/k/a: How to have the mind of Christ)

Would you try to memorize an entire book of Scripture if you knew you would succeed? The Bible is banned in many countries. Countless believers have sacrificed their freedom—and many, their lives—to spread the message of God’s love and salvation contained within its pages. Are we exercising our freedom responsibly? It is easier to share the Word of God when it is etched upon your heart. Fortify your students against false ideology, strengthen their memory skills, and lay the groundwork for a solidly biblical worldview. Learn how to use five simple steps, outlined in Philippian in 28 Weeks, with any book of the Bible to equip your students (and yourself) to become “walking epistles.” One day we will stand before our Holy God and give an account for how we managed the liberty and resources He entrusted to us.

The Wise Woman with Literary Analysis Journal Questions

with George MacDonald

The Wise Woman enchants readers while it contrasts the ugliness of pride, selfishness and conceit with the beauty of humility, sacrifice, and compassion.

As one student explains: “The literary analysis questions cut hard and deep— they forced me to reflect upon the story from a biblical worldview.
