Behind every good biblical preacher is much hard labor in preparation (1 Tim 5:17; 2 Tim 2:15). However, only prayer can assure that his work is not wasted and that his message will spiritually impact the hearers. As the biblical preacher interweaves prayer with his preparation, he should focus on certain petitions: 1. That he will receive God's message…in spiritual as well as mental comprehension (1 Cor. 2:9-16). 2. That God's message will first grip his own heart in strong conviction (1 Thes. 1:5). 3. That he will clearly and correctly convey God's message in the power of the Spirit in effective communication (1 Thes. 1:5). 4. That the Spirit will use the message to produce proper response and change, spiritual transformation (2 Cor. 3:18). 5. That the whole process and finished product will accomplish God’s purpose in glorification of God through Christ (1 Cor. 10:31; 1 Pet 4:11) (Henry Holloman).

Hi Deanna,

I always buy the whole thing, teachers packet, tests, workbooks etc, and don't use them
well at least not with any regularity. I mostly make up our own tests as we may cover things
not in the book or skip some stuff in the book that I don't think I need to test on.
The teachers packet or book has soom good information, but you can find things on line just
as easily.
What I do is read the chapter one day ahead of the children, then look for things to make it more
interesting if need be. I use lots of ideas from the book by Laura Berquist "Designing Your Own
Classical Curriculum" It is a Roman Catholic book and we are not Catholic but has some great
ideas and outlines to be used.

Hope that helps.
When my oldest one took a government class in college she got 100 on all her test and the
teacher asked her about that and what her backgorund was and when she told him BJU books
he told her he thought that the student he has had that went through school using them, had
a real edge on everyone else.
I sound like a saleman for BJU
and I am not, really!

Just they have worked well for us so far.

heading for bed,
Pat
