The Bible Study portion of this book is excellent. The story of the Oregon Trail journey that went along with it irritated my 9YO and 11YO girls, so we skipped those sections. My girls also took exception to the authors' overuse of the words awesome. Sentences like "Wasn't it awesome to see our brave explorer believe God's promises and have it reckoned to him as righteousness?" were included practically daily. [The lessons are broken up daily.] Other adjectives would have been better because the redundancy lost my readers. This is the second book in this series we've done, and we had the same problems with the first one. My bottom line: the Bible Study portions are excellent, everything else is ridiculous. If we do any more inductive study from Kay Arthur, we'll be doing adult studies and not the kid version. ( )
