Our church has been using this curriculum for 3 years. I liked it for the first 2 years. Now I feel the curriculum has turned the corner and is starting to bring in more woke ideas. Example: Daniel 1:8 when Daniel refused to eat the "king's food"...the reason the curriculum gave was that vegies was much better for you. Meat was bad and they didn't eat meat back in Jerusalem. The real reason Daniel didn't want to eat the meat nor the wine was according to the NIV Study Bible notes: “Israelites considered food from Nebuchadnezzar’s table to be contaminated because the first portion of it was offered to idols. Likewise a portion of the wine was poured out on a pagan altar. Ceremonially unclean animals were used and were neither slaughtered nor prepared according to the regulations of the law.” They also flashed a quick picture in the background of the 3-4 year olds video relating to the recent beauty pageant where a transgender person won.I am using less and less of the curriculum, games and suggested videos. I'm doing more of my own research as to the Bible text they to pull out truths in the Bible text and memory verses.The theme and examples they use to bring the Bible text together with the theme and games is getting harder and harder to correlate. I pray this review will help you look for the truths of the Bible in any curriculum you decide to use. I'm very disappointed they have chosen to go this route :0(
