Online Resource
Thousands of hours have been spent researching the Internet to find the best possible visual images that capture significant moments in the life of Christ.



Easy to follow PDFs
The lesson plans are superb, with a smooth flow to each lesson: a brief presentation with PowerPoints, focused Bible study, visual aids, and discussion questions.



Customizable PowerPoints
All class presentations use PowerPoints. Both the presentations and PowerPoints can be easily modified to reflect the specific values of the instructor.



Synopsis of the Four Gospels
The American Bible Society has recently (2010) produced a new version of this “classic” resource with colored images of the four gospel writers on the cover. This “new” book is beautiful.
