It’s time to write the content for the Notebook which will accompany "Firm Foundations – Creation to Christ."  <\/p>\n

This project started with research.  My co-worker, Pam, made calls to pastors and Bible teachers who had bought the old notebook to inquire if they had suggestions for a revised notebook.  She found that most wanted something interactive, but still with space for the students to take personal notes.<\/p>\n

The revision team tossed a lot of ideas around, and ended up with a layout that has space for note taking, but also has review questions which key in on the major thoughts for each outline point in the lessons.<\/p>\n

I started writing the interactive part of the notebook today. <\/p>\n

I feel the weight of responsiblity in this task. Formulating questions is probably one of the hardest parts of this whole revision project.  And I am very conscious that this notebook is what the students will hold in their hands.  This is what they will use to remember what they learned.  <\/p>\n

I’m so thankful that I am not alone in this project – the others on the revision team will work from my draft. Paul, Pam, and Trevor will all have excellent input, and help keep me on track.<\/p>\n

I anticipate that the questions for each lesson will go thorugh 4 or 5 drafts. It’s all worth it, though, if it helps the truth of Scripture sink deep into the students’ hearts and understanding.<\/p>\n
