• Firm, carefully constructed scriptural foundations support a clear, God-centered presentation of the gospel.
• Every lesson points the children to God and to His Word.
• The chronological teaching method presented in these lessons is being used all over the world in a variety of cultures and languages. Why is this method so effective? Because it is based upon God’s pattern for revealing truth—laying one principle upon another. In fact, it is never the ‘method,’ but God’s Word that is effective!
