TRAIN UP A CHILD

Suggestions for Home Bible Study




Parents are the most influential teachers a young child will have. What a serious responsibility they have toward their children! We at Garden of Praise have prepared a series of Bible lessons to help parents train their children in the ways of the Lord. We offer some suggestions for preparing the lessons for home Bible study using the story of the Creation as a model.

This is a rather intensive plan of study, equal to plans we used at the Christian school. You may modify the plans to suit the needs of your family.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
