Since there were several questions about my initial post, I thought I'd better reply. After MUCH prayer, the Lord led us to use Bedell Curriculum. Even though it is called a "curriculum", it is very (King James)Bible centered and we use our own Bibles. Mr. Bedell's thinking is that every subject should be centered on the Bible. It is a chronological study of the Bible and how the Bible relates to the sciences, world history/geography, apologetics, psychology, etc. The Bible is the main textbook (which is what we wanted in the first place), and for older children, they would also use other resources to do research. We do not want our homeschool to be all academics, but first and foremost, about our children having a solid knowledge of the Scriptures and a real, saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. I used to have a curriculum that was very academically oriented, very advanced. I found myself pushing my children to go, go, go, get the material done...so that we could maintain the "schedule." I also realized that there wasn't enough Bible in our previous curriculum and that it was mostly about academics. The material in one day's lesson was just too much, causing some stress. The Lord began to show us that even though we have homeschooled our children from day one, we had basically brought the traditional, public school into our home(because that is the way we grew up.)
So, when I said earlier that we wanted to homeschool with the King James Bible, we are still doing this, but using Mr. Bedell's "curriculum" as a guide.
If you have any other questions, I'd be glad to help. May God richly bless your homeschool this year. I believe to be a homeschooling mother is one of the highest callings the Lord could give us
In Christ Jesus,
