The Drama of Redemption Volume 3

The most powerful evidence that the Bible is not the product of men, but is, indeed, the inspired Word of God, is also the most neglected in our children's curriculum-fulfilled prophecy. All of us want our children to be obedient to God, but if they are not convinced that the Bible is His divine Word, they will not be faithful to Him. In this skeptical age of post-modern thought and liberal theology, we must begin at least as early as elementary school teaching these glorious pictures of the Messiah and His kingdom, showing that God is truly the One who "knows the end from the beginning" and whose counsel shall stand (Isa. 46:10). 

In The Drama of Redemption: Walking with Jesus and the Apostles, Sarah Fallis brings out other prophecies not covered in Walking with Jesus Through The Prophets in a "teach it backward" format. Knowing that some fulfilled prophecy, like Amos 9, Isaiah 42, and Psalm 110, is more easily explained by going from the New Testament usage back to the Old Testament, Sarah skillfully shows how to teach these concepts. Bible students often hear: "What the prophets wrote, Jesus and the apostles quote." However, children rarely see this concept in their Bible classes, especially from the perspective of the New Testament writers. This third book is a natural follow-up to the first two books in The Drama of Redemption series, focusing on how Jesus and the apostles used prophecy in their preaching. Sarah shows teachers how to bring the apostles' sermons into the action stories of the Book of Acts so that as children learn the boldness of the apostles and Paul's missionary journeys, they also learn the significance of the message they preached. She also shows simple ways to plant the seeds that will help children know the "certainty of those things" they have been taught when they confront the popular false doctrine of premillennialism as adults. Like the other books, illustrations, charts and side-by-side Scripture sheets help teachers reinforce the lessons. As you continue to explore the unity of the story, your faith in God's Word will be amplified and rewarded.
