Year Two

The Biblical Path of Life: Year Two

The Biblical Path of Life is a basic outline to read through the Bible in somewhat of a chronological order, understanding that the entirety is about Jesus. Year Two is in the process of publication. Ideally, the whole family should learn the Bible, young or old. I am making available online the questions that follow each lesson. For those who teach this to children, I have provided some children’s worksheet ideas and a few ideas for simple crafts to help students remember what they are learning. It is usually easy to find coloring sheets to go along with lessons if you desire them.

I personally have taught this three-year program through twice to children ages six through eight. I am now teaching an adult class, and we are into year one for the third time through this three-year program. Not only do I hear many comments on how much my students learn, but more importantly I continue to learn and grow each time I take time to study God’s Word as I prepare to teach.

Thank you to those who have taken the time to use this study to help you better understand that the entirety of the Bible is written to reveal Jesus. Not only does God’s Word reveal Jesus, but it also exposes each person’s need for the Saviour, Jesus.

“But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.” (2 Peter 3:18)

When you click on a lesson below, you will find a summary of that lesson. The additional helps are in links at the bottom of the page along with the other ideas for younger children.

About The Author

M. J. Ross taught the Bible for many years and learned that there were many people who didn’t understand God’s Word. This realization was the basis for organizing The Biblical Path of Life into a Bible study. After using this study to teach the Bible, many hearts and lives were changed because of the understanding of how the Bible fits together with a purpose – to reveal Jesus.
