Review

Written by Sharon

The content of the stories told comes from across history to current day, in North America and around the world. Expression of the concepts comes not only in the didactic style of definitions, doctrine or theory, but also in the form of art, poetry, and music.

The best experience would certainly be to go through this curriculum as a group, because the variety of media will touch different people in different ways, and so the discussion portions of each lesson will allow for a richer interaction with the material for all.

A great strength of this material is that the wide cross-section of personal experiences explored makes it necessarily deeply personal for the participants. This is no theoretical exercise; this study is meant to evoke change in the attitudes and actions of those who engage.

Note: This is a teacher led curriculum with more than 70 video clips. The topics are:

  1. Fill’er Up: Covenant—Old to New
  2. Free at Last: Righteousness—Law to Grace
  3. Pledge of Allegiance: Identity—Nation to Church
  4. Away from Home: World—In It but Not Of It
  5. The In-Group: Belonging—Bloodlines to Choice
  6. Give It Up: Posture—Self-Ambition to Servanthood
  7. Real Simple: Lifestyle—More to Less
  8. Peace on Earth: Relationships—Enemies to Friends
  9. Blowing in the Wind: Empowerment—Flesh to Spirit
  10. Appetizers: Epilogue—From Earth to Heaven
