Additional Information
"I am writing to tell you of the wonderful experience I have had with your curriculum. I began homeschooling my thirteen-year-old son when he was four years old and in preschool. Subjects that I would not have had the time or ability to teach him personally have been studied with confidence, creating an independent learner. The curriculum has provided a means to systematically learn at a pace that is comfortable for him, while completing the course work for the year. The well researched and presented information provide opportunities for understanding the content, while igniting an interest to learn more about the subject matter. The biblical integration has been a blessing to me and has strengthened my son's knowledge and faith. Having AOP as my partner in my child's education has supported me and confirmed in my mind that I have the ability to homeschool my child throughout his high school years. Thank you for providing these excellent materials."

DAD

One of America s most trusted parenting experts writes the book Dad . Dad is a step-by-step guide to building a great relationship with your children. A relationship that one day turns into a best friendship. Many fathers spend 18 plus years raising their kids, only to have them leave the house and not look back. These kids call only when they have to, come over for the holidays that they can't get out of. Phone calls are awkward and not that often. That is not how it is suppose to be. You apply the principles in this book and your kids will be coming to you all of your life. They will call because they want to. They will enjoy talking to you, and sharing with you all that is going on in their life. They will look forward to spending time with you. When reading this book, please understand that we all make mistakes especially us fathers. We all have made mistakes and will probably make a lot more in the future. Being a great father isn t about making no mistakes. Being a great father is about learning not to make the same mistake over and over again. Being a great father isn t about our lack of character in a few bad situations. It is our overall character that we demonstrate to our kids throughout each day and throughout our lives. Realize that great fathers are not born; they are developed. Every father has inside him the potential to be a great dad. But like anything in life, it takes understanding how to be great, then a lot of practice to be great, and, finally, choosing to be great. Being a great dad isn t something you just try or even do for 18 years. It has to be something you do for the rest of your life. You have to dedicate yourself to never stop growing and to never stop changing. Always pursuing being the best dad you can be. Whether your kids are 2 or 52, it is never too late to start developing a great relationship with them. I believe if you do everything in this book, one day your kids will be saying, My dad is my hero!

Balancing The Sword

Whether you are a Bible scholar looking for a world-class tool to enhance your daily study, a busy home-schooling father in need of an aid for leading in family worship, or a new Christian searching for a study guide to assist you while reading through the Bible for the first time, Balancing the Sword is a flexible and reliable tool that fits the bill.
The heart of this Bible study tool is a two-volume question and answer manual that goes chapter by chapter through all sixty-six books of Holy Writ. Each of the probing fill-in-the-blank questions encourages interaction with the text and includes multiple cross-references to deepen your study with connected passages. Ample space is provided in each volume for precise, objective responses and your own meditations associated with each question. Rather than appealing to your opinion, Balancing the Sword drives the reader to the authority of the Scriptures and what is actually contained in the text. In total, there are an astounding 7,116 questions --- literally one every 2.7 verses!
Balancing the Sword will increase your understanding of the Bible, with questions to help facilitate engaging discussions and an answer key that supplies you with immediate references to check your response. You'll retain more of the Scriptures, and isn't that the point?
Powerful Software Included: Personalize Your Study A complete interactive software tutorial, plus Bible-reading scheduling software with unparalleled flexibility for personalization. More than a decade of research and development went into these outstanding tools. This is not another study guides which simply asks the reader, ..."How does this passage make you feel? ...the questions and fill-in-the-blank sentences of BTS are all objective in nature to help you frame what the passage actually says.
References & Quotes: BTS provides tens of thousands of cross references to deepen your study and reduce time searching for connected passages. The references distill hours of research down to a few seconds, and a few mouse clicks! You'll find over 1,000 encouraging quotes at the bottom of almost every page by famous Presidents like George Washington, and President Theodore Roosevelt, visionaries like Noah Webster, and Christian leaders and preachers who litterally changed church history! Charles Spurgeon, John Wesley, Matthew Henry, John Knox, Helen Keller, St. Augustine, John Calvin, John Newton, D. L. Moody, C. S. Lewis, and more than two hundred others bring perspective and commentary that will make the Word come alive! This very well may be the largest collection of quotes specifically about the Bible available today!


Illustrations: Over 1,000 beautiful images are interlaced throughout the material illustrating biblical events, literal depictions, charts, and maps--images can be found no where else. The images are especially popular with children; making comprehension more clear.
NOTE: The workbooks also qualify as language arts curriculum.
