11 Reasons to Order Generations Christian Literature Curriculu

#1. The next generation is walking away from the faith. The massive secularization of public and homeschool education demands a more careful Christian curriculum for our children. Your children need to go a different direction and we’ve crafted our Christian Literature curriculum to help you do just that.

#2. This is “frontlet” curriculum (Deut. 6:8). Our curriculum is more than books. We have worked to weave Bible passages and biblical ideas into the very fiber of our curriculum. God wants his Word to be front and center in the education of our children. Not just in the Bible curriculum, but also in the Literature class. Is this what you want for your children?

#3. This is Christ-focused curriculum. We don’t focus on the pagan Greeks, the existentialists, the non-Christians, and the anti-Christian writers. We don’t want our children sitting at the feet of the “scorners” (Psalm 1). Instead, we help students focus on the writings of those who have gone down in history as faithful followers of Christ.

#4. This curriculum cultivates faith (by God’s grace!). We write from a perspective of the fear of God and weave the worship of God and prayers of praise into the curriculum itself. This is the very heart and soul of a Christian education.

#5. We use the greatest Christian books and stories ever written in our Literature curriculum. We’ve searched out the some of the greatest books that have built the faith of Christians for 100’s of years and turned them into curriculum for your students. History has proven that these books are worth studying.

#6. We help your students digest the material. We have done extensive studies of the books used in our curriculum. All those notes are included in the margins to help students study, maximize reading comprehension, and be able to enjoy learning. (It’s frustrating to read a book and only understand about 63% of what you read, isn’t it?)

#7. This stuff is just plain interesting! We have “cherry picked” some of the most exciting and important Christian classics for 7th-12th-grade students. There is no reason a Christian, high-quality education needs to be boring.

#8. We help students learn how to think. Our curriculum provides a rock-solid worldview and apologetics training program for Christian high school students. How? We start with grounding them in the truth of God’s word through the writings of the greatest Christian teachers, and then we help them critically evaluate other works through this biblical lense.

#9. The price is bottom dollar. We don’t think you’re going to find curriculum with this richness of content and physical product quality for this low of a price. We have done our best to help you be a good steward of your resources.

What Others are Saying About Generations’ Literature Curriculum

“We have been using the Great Christian Adventures books as a family read aloud.  Not only do we enjoy being gathered as a family with a great story, but the conversations, laughs, and additional research the stories lead us to are a treasure.  It’s not uncommon for everyone to eagerly ask for the next chapter. We are careful with what we allow our children to read, and Generations has provided literature that is safe, good, beautiful, true, and fun without compromising rich content.  And the best part is that we are pointed to Jesus through these stories.” (Dawn Santoro – Arizona, United States)

My 16-year-old daughter just finished Worldviews in Culture and she and I thoroughly enjoyed working through it.  She loved learning the different philosophies from so long ago that continue to shape and impact our culture with the way people think, act, and live.  It’s amazing how often she will now point out the different philosophies she is seeing presented when she hears something someone says, when she watches a movie or reads a book. This is a great course of study that I would highly recommend any high schooler work through, especially before heading off to college.” (Vicki Mims – Florida, United States)

“My two sons and I have been working our way through the Christian Discipleship Curriculum.  This curriculum really does keep the main focus of our school on God. I love how Bible verses are brought up on almost every page to show how that passage is related to what God has said in the Bible.  This curriculum will give them a firm foundation with Christ before they enter into their adult lives.” (Tena Bengtson – Nebraska, United States)

“Our daughter loved the Great Christian Adventures curriculum. The books studied (Titus: A Comrade of the Cross; Swiss Family Robinson; and The Life of Henry Martyn) showed her Christ and the gospel, the merciful provision of our Sovereign God, and a missionary who dedicated his life to the sacred work of serving the Lord Jesus Christ. The curriculum was easy to use and encouraged engagement with classic literature with redemptive value. I recommend Generations curriculum without reservation!” (Angela Doty – Idaho, United States)

“We are using the Great Christian Stories Set. I find the curriculum to be very well put together. It is incredibly easy to use. It is encouraging to be using a curriculum that glorifies God. I myself, enjoy the books and the stories of those who have gone on before us and now live on as heroes of the Christian Faith.” (Melissa Lister – Oklahoma, United States)

“Our homeschool has used Great Christians Classics I & II, Essential Writings in Church History, Worldviews in Conflict & Apostate: The Men Who Destroyed the West—They are all fantastic & biblically based. My son said he has learned so much & has really been challenged in his faith & worldview. Highly recommend!!” (Destinie Setera – New York, United States)

“The Essential Writings on Church History is full of amazing, God-honoring testimonies of the early Christians who were faithful to the Lord and His Word.” (Rachel Pawlowski – Pennsylvania, United States)

“I have thoroughly enjoyed Worldviews in Conflict!  It has been eye-opening to trace the roots of humanism in our culture and how it has infiltrated so many influential areas of life!  I used it in our co-op this year and we have had great discussions with our high school students about the material. It has really helped them to see that IDEAS HAVE CONSEQUENCES!” (Annette Hamilton, Florida – United States)

“Great Christian Adventures is by far our favorite Literature program.  Both of my sons have loved the stories and I have been grateful to find a curriculum that has taken out the guessing game of which books are best for young Christian children to read.  Also, the workbook with vocabulary words, reading comprehension questions, and suggestions for the book report to write at the end of the reading is exceptional. We will continue to use all of this program throughout high school.” (Annette Kennedy – Tennessee, United States)

“I have three kids under three and am homeschooling my teenager. We all enjoy the Great Christian Adventures series so I am able to read out loud while the toddlers play. The stories aren’t the same boring books I hated to read in school, but books even toddlers request I start the school day with.” (Sara McGuire – Michigan, United States)

“True Christian Classics!  We are completing the 8th-grade literature (Great Christian Stories). We have always looked for solid Christian teachings. We thought we had found it with other curriculums, but as we would read the material we consistently became aware that the authors were not Christian, and it reflected in their writings. Usually, very subtle issues, but we know subtle things blind us. We have been extremely pleased with Generations’ Literature curriculum.” (Donna McLeod – Virginia, United States)

FAQ

We encourage using our literature courses as read-aloud material. This makes it easy to work with multiple ages at the same time. We suggest that you first evaluate the abilities of your children and make sure that you choose a course that is advanced enough to keep your oldest children engaged. The younger children will still catch a lot!

Start with the core of all learning: the fear and knowledge of God. Start with the Bible. Our children need to know the great stories of Scripture, particularly the redemptive story of Jesus that starts in Genesis 1 and runs through Revelation. They need to know God’s word inside and out. Then supplement it with some of the great missionary stories of the last 2000 years. Some of the YWAM materials are helpful.

The question to ask is, “what do you mean by wholesome and balanced?” Only the Word of God can give us a concept of the wholesome and the balanced. The non-Christians can only present a Christ-less, moralistic, “other gospel” view of life. Unless your children are ready to discern the deeper worldview, do not give them the brilliant non-Christians or they will be deceived.

Fortunately, we don’t have to choose between skillfully written non-Christian books and poorly written Christian books. This is what we have focused on time-tested Christian classics in our Christian Literature curriculum packs.

No. Your children need to learn how to engage with non-Christian beliefs and worldviews. But make the Scriptures and the great Christian classics top priority. Then engage the non-Christian books as you have time and your children have the maturity to discern the worldviews.

No. Scripture and the great Christian writers are the most relevant to real life. When you look ahead to your children standing before the judgment seat of Christ, would you rather that they had read Of Mice and Men or The Pilgrim’s Progress? What hope does Hawthorne have to offer someone with terminal cancer? If you want your children to be “relevant” and ready to speak hope into the lives of others, focus on the top priorities: the Word of God and then the writings of the great Christian men and women of history.

1. Sci-Fi, fantasy, and mystery novels tend to be highly addictive for our children. If your child is preferring fantasies to the things of God, you may need to go to them and say, “We are repenting. We’re sorry. We didn’t realize that there was such a battle going on.” There also may need to be a weaning process.

2. Let your children see excitement in you for the good books.

It’s a matter of balance between fiction and non-fiction. Focus on the highest priority: the Word of God. Let fiction fill in the cracks if desired and if the child is not being taken captive by the storyline. Also balance work and reading. Fiction tends to have little relevance to the “real life” world of work. As your child begins to work and look for answers to the challenges he encounters, he will find He is helped far more by the Bible or the stories of great men and women of the faith than by some Sci-Fi hero.

Currently, we do not have any courses geared specifically for K-5. In the future, we would like to produce courses for lower grades. That said, much of the material in our Literature courses would be suitable for younger ages when read aloud and discussed.

This really depends on your student’s ability to process the material. Some students will need more one-on-one time than others. Our courses include complete lesson schedules and answer keys to make assigning material and grading quick and easy, so much of the study work could be done by the students on their own.

That said, we are REALLY encouraging parents to be involved – not to hold their child’s hand and tell them WHAT to think, but to lead by example in teaching them HOW to think about:

  • what questions they should be asking
  • how to seek God for wisdom as they study
  • how to move from new understanding to praise of God
  • how to identify and “cast down” ideas that are not based on Scripture

This is Deuteronomy 6 in action!

Requirements vary from state to state, but it should meet most states’ requirements. You’ll have to check your specific state’s requirements to confirm.

Our curriculum does provide written assignments, but it does not teach writing. I would recommend a separate writing curriculum and a separate grammar curriculum.

Each of our Literature courses is worth 1 high school credit with the exception of Essential Writings on Church History which is worth 2 credits (1 for Literature and 1 for History).

And if you’re wondering about credits on other titles in our core curriculum packs, here is a link to our curriculum credit schedule.

We typically update our Literature curriculum each year as needed. Updates will be incremental upgrades like adding some assignments here and there or fixing typos or other small errors that may be found.
