Hello, hope your week is going well. I am so happy to finally be getting out all of the resources that we will be doing this year.
One thing I wanted to accomplish with my children is to read through the entire old testament. My children are old enough that this year we will be able to accomplish this. I have divided this up into 170 days worth of study. We are going to be diving in and doing a lot of read aloud bible study together. I figured I would read from an easier to read version for this course…hmmm any recommendations? Then my older children will answer the questions after we read it aloud. Most every question has the verse number next to it to help them find it easier.
We will also read a Psalm or Proverb each day as well.
All of this will reinforce bible truths for our family. I am excited about this one. It will be a lot of reading, but it is something that the Lord has laid on my heart to do this year. I had to think that we will spend the time reading through worldly read aloud books that aren’t going to benefit their futures very much, but reading the word of God and being taught wisdom, is going to be much more long lasting teaching for our family. I would much rather choose to fill their minds with God’s word then a worldly fiction book.
This year Old Testament and then the next year we will do the New.
Hope this inspires someone to read through it with their own families. Be blessed as you go about your day.

The Lord has laid it on my heart to read through the bible with my children again, going through the old testament is what we have a hard time with. Thank the Lord for his great timing! And Thank you for posting!
I am happy that we can encourage each other. Isn’t God awesome in His ability to do that? I can honestly say that as a Christian for 17 years now, I have never read through the entire old testament?!!? I get sidetracked and “bored”. I know bad terminology, but it has never interested me before. But the Lord has been patient with me and has laid it on my heart to do as well. I am the most excited about this part of our schooling this year. Have a wonderfully blessed day!
This is fantastic! I’d never considered doing this with my kids before. I think I will wait another year so that I can have more help with the reading. We enjoy the New Living Translation and often use it for our youth group too. For now we will continue reading through “Everyday Graces,” by Karen Santorum
Thank you for the recommendation:) I know I have had lots of little ones and it did not seem feasible for me either, until this year:)I will be happy to do this and it will be up next year when you are ready to do it. Be blessed!
The link for the OT questions is not working….
Thanks for the heads up:) I have since fixed it:)
Hi Amy
This link just keeps taking me back to the blog post. Am I doing something incorrectly?
Thanks as usual for everything
Amy
I apologize….I did not do a good job this time around copying my links correctly?!?!? I apologize and have fixed it:) Enjoy your day today!
Hi Amy,
Which Bible did you choose to read? I’m going to use your course with my children they are ten and twelve.
Blessings,
Michelle
we read from the ESV version:)
Thank you for providing this! Will you be doing a New Testament version?
I am currently working on one;)
Do you have a link to the new testament curriculum?
Not yet…still working on it:)
I am very impressed with your whole website. One thing I am very interested to know about you and your family. What is your religious background? For example are you Catholic, Methodist, Mormon, etc?
Hello it is very nice to meet you and I am happy that you are here. My choice for life is Christianity. I am a Christian, follower of Jesus, and a student of the Word of God. I am believer in faith and taking what the Bible says, literally:) I hope that helps you.
Thank you so much, Amy! We can’t wait to get the 4th grade book this week. Printed this off today. I really, really hope you do the New Testament soon!! Your resources are such a blessing.
I thank you:)
once I saw a list of different Bibles for reading, there was one for kids I cant find list. i have a 11 y/0. i know u use ESV . i thought we could read the ESV daily and then he could have one to read on his own. what do u recommend? hes not a strong reader . thx so much
I would recommend reading that together too. Just keep your passages smaller and you read and he can follow along with you:)
Are there answers to this bible study anywhere on your site by chance?
I don’t have any…sorry
Would you recommend using the OT study with a 4th grader (8 years old) – I have been trying but it seems to be a lot for her?
no for an older child:) I think kids should be geared more towards what they can understand:)
Where can I find the math 8 answer key?
I have them in the complete courses…not individual
Thank you for this study!
Thank you for this resource! You have really helped with my Biblical studies planning. Do you have a “FREE NEW TESTAMENT BIBLE IN 170 DAYS WITH QUESTIONS”?
I do not…I just started doing a channel called Daily Bible Chapter and I offer study guides for the entire new testament..up to revelations for free..you can download:)
Do you have the answers to the Bible questions? If so, how do I access them?
I do not, i am sorry
Thank you!!! Where are the answers to the questions?
I don’t have any answer keys for this…it was something we did together. my apologies
I have really enjoyed your Old Testament Coarse. I am looking for a New Testament course now. Are you planning to make one? If not, I’ll look for something else, but so far, I haven’t found anything I like. Thank you for all the work you have put in here and put up so that mom’s like me can get some resources needed for homeschooling! Also, I used Johnathan park for my science curriculum, but they only have 9 study guides. What else do you supplement with? I wish there was an actual curriculum to go along with Johnathan Park. They are such a wealth of information, but its hard to hold onto it all just from listening.
Again, thank you for all you have done!
Mindy
I know for the jonathan park, we just listen to them and talk about what we have heard. I did enjoy the study guides and wish they had more. I don’t have a new testament course, I am just doing a new testament on my youtube channel where we read through the new testament and do some talking with it @DailyBibleChapter. I hope to do more as time allows. Thank you for writing here and for the kind words.
Have you done a New Testament version of this? This is a wonderful resource my children and I can both learn from! Thank you!
I have not yet..I will add it to my future list, thanks amy
