The Single Units may be used with regular FaithSteps Sunday school teaching plans; as stand-alone resources for other children’s Bible study opportunities; or, to complement and give greater depth to other children’s curriculum. Single Units offer a refreshing source for varying children’s learning experiences, while retaining the benefits of an established curriculum series.
Old Testament Prophets Speak for God examines the calling and mission of four Old Testament prophets.
