This is a layout of what my daughter is learning. We find that having a layout week by week day by day makes it easier to keep track of what we're learning and to stay on track as well. It's a little scattered as I'm writing it as we use it.
Some of the materials I'm using. I will not be listing all the web lings unless to give recognition but will try and list all the books or hard material. Use 'control' and 'F' to scroll to whatever week your on.

Some think the words sound good and want to be saved, but as soon as something hard comes along, they abandon God’s Word for what they think is best. Some accept God’s Word, but they desire money more or worry about themselves and don’t trust God and rely on Him. They abandon God’s Word for what they want even more.

There are people who think that if they do more good things than bad things, then God will let them into heaven. But God is perfect, holy. He can’t be with sin. We can’t be with Him unless we are perfect too.

- We’re moving into a new era, the Renaissance. We’re coming out of the dark ages and into a period of new ideas. Renaissance means “new birth.” It was a new beginning. This period is from about 1400AD to 1700AD.
- There was one new idea, one invention that really made a turning point in history. It was a printing press. How often in your day do you see printed words? All the time!
- In the dark ages people thought they were Christians and serving God by killing Muslims during the Crusades. People made their own ideas of what God wanted because they had no way to know for themselves. They had no Bible to read! They knew only what they heard told them. What dangers can you think of if you could never read the Bible for yourself, and your family couldn’t read the Bible? How would you know the truth of God’s Word?
- Gutenberg changed all that with his invention.
- Read about Gutenberg and his printing press.
- Match the facts.
- Why would a printing press be so invaluable in a period of new ideas? (answer: It’s how the new ideas can be spread and taught to others.)
