Click book cover for ages 2 & 3.

Shaping Hearts For God is a Bible class curriculum for ages 2 through 5th grade that offers help and ideas for learning new Bible lessons with memory work, maps, timelines, bulletin board ideas, etc. While the teacher is still responsible for studying the lesson from the Bible, Shaping Hearts for God has done some of the difficult work of "how am I going to get this across to my students". The visual aids, activities and teaching suggestions allow the teacher to incorporate her creativity in the classrom which will be the motivating factor for the students to learn and appreciate God and what He has done for us.

Shaping Hearts For God is a 3 year program. The Old Testament is covered in the first 2 years and the New Testament is covered in the third year. There are 5 necessary components to the program that are available for each of the 12 quarters. There are several supplemental components that will make teaching a lot more enjoyable.
