Resource Description: The book includes 50 Old Testament and 50 New Testament stories. All stories are one-page paraphrases of Scripture and each story is accompanied by a memorable illustration. There are three reflection questions after each story and a short memory verse. This a good tool for parent-child devotions. There is a workbook available to go with the story book. I've incorporated the curriculum into Confirmation Class as a Bible history review. It could even be used as a separate class for 5th & 6th grade Confirmation Class. You can order it at www.cph.org

Resource Description: This company offers a wide variety of video curriculums which work well for midweek youth group gatherings or for a youth group summer series. We've used the series "Revoluton" and "Velocity". The illustrations and Biblical applications are well done, but you'll need to listen for Reform theology once in a while. The teens enjoyed the videos and I found them useful for leading the group in self-evaluation and life application of Scripture.
