With Greek ‘n Stuff‘s I Can Study Esther Alone with God Bible Study, children will learn all about the life of Esther. The study is set up to be done 6 days of the week (Monday to Saturday). Each day features a checklist instructing the Bible student to pray, read and/or write the specified memory verse for the week, and answer the questions for the day. At the conclusion of the week’s study, students are given something to think and pray about based upon the lessons learned that week.
The Bible study is done in a workbook style which allows the student to work through the whole thing on their own. The questions help the students learn how to dig deeper into scripture. The 13 weekly lessons include additional information to help the student think about the people, region, and other aspects of the culture. To truly understand passages of scripture, it helps to really understand the culture.
We received a pre-production copy of this study which did not have the final cover. Our copy was comb-bound which quickly fell apart with use. It looks like the final version of these Bible studies are spiral bound which should hold up better to the continual use. Munchkin really liked the workbook style of this Bible study. The study itself was a little easy for her, so she decided to take things at a quicker pace than was suggested.
We chose to use this study as part of our homeschool curriculum as Munchkin already does individual devotions in the evening. However, this would make a great personal devotional, family devotional, or Sunday school study. While Greek ‘n Stuff says this study is geared towards middle to upper elementary age group, I believe it could be used with younger students as well. I personally feel, based upon Munchkin’s feedback, that older students or students who have studied the Bible more will find that although the study is thorough it lacks the depth they may desire.
We were impressed with the layout and overall study of the book and story of Esther. Karen Mohs did a wonderful job writing a thought-provoking study of Esther. In addition to the Esther study, Greek ‘n Stuff offers several other studies in the Alone with God series including: Jonah & Ruth, Acts, and I Samuel. The Esther Bible study can be purchased in either KJV or NIV for $8.95. Samples are available for download.
I received a pre-production copy of this study as a member of the TOS Crew to help facilitate the writing of a frank and honest review. A positive review is not guaranteed, and all opinions are my own.
