We are just about to finish chapter 1 of Bible 5. My children are learning alot from this course and I am extremely impressed by it. Book 5 goes from Genesis to 1 Samuel. It is very indepth, but interesting in it's layout. It has wonderful penciled illustration of the ark, the taberancle, high priest clothes, etc, throughout. The student has to fill in some of these drawings that are labeled, and also do maps and geneaology. (ds 11 loved the geneology charts) It uses the Bible as it's textbook, so I feel the student is letting the Bible speak to them personally. It has them compare things in the Bible to answer questions. (ex: had my son compare 2 verses in Genesis and conclude how long Noah was on the ark)
Grade 5 is 30 lessons long. WE have been doing half a lesson a day, taking about an hour. By Grade 8 you will have gone all the way to Revelations.
I think this is an excellent Bible course for someone who wants a serious, indepth Bible course for their child. I think it is written in a tone that is easy for a 5th grader to understand.
My dh is a pastor (not mennonite) and really likes the workbook as well. I have ordered me a book too, because it looks like so much fun and I feel it would help me learn more about the Bible.
Price is unbeatable. teacher key, workbook, and ch. test for about $20.00

I am very pleased with the Rod and Staff Bible Curriculum. I love that it uses the King James Bible as it's textbook, and is not a dumb downed curricula.
The workbook format is one of the best I've seen in that the questions are subjective, they make the student think, rather than just fill in the blank.
We are not of the Mennonite faith, however, we have had no problems using this so far.

Ami, It's MENNONITE. And Mennonites *are* Christians.

Buyer Beware: As I did further research on this curruiculum I realized it had been written from the Menanite perspective. If you are from the Menanite faith than you would be interested in using this curriculum, if you are from the Christian faith you may want to avoid this, especially where the area of the Bible is conserned since they have a very different view.
