"We started it today and love it. It really is exactly what I had been wanting for my family. Thanks for making it!"
~Tauna Meyer, homeschool mom of 6 and blogger at Proverbial Homemaker
"We finally found a fantastic Hymn study course that we can do together as a family. I love how this course makes the Hymns come to LIFE in such a FUN way! We have truly enjoyed going through this course together. It's definitely worth getting!"
~Jessica Anderson, homeschool mom and blogger at Intentional Life
Perfect for use at a Homeschool Co-op:
"I enjoyed teaching Great Hymns of the Faith to students at our homeschool co-op who loved learning hymns they have not heard before. Each student kept a three prong folder with copies of the hymns, copywork, and coloring pages. During class we read through the hymn, listened to song, learned about its history, sang the song, learned the music lesson, spent time doing copywork and coloring, and, if time allowed, I shared the devotional. At our co-op Family Night the students shared what they learned about one of the songs and sang it for the audience, who joined us at the end."
