Overview
A 20-unit interactive Bible study of Joshua’s arrival in the Promised Land. The life of Abraham and God’s promises to him plus Moses’ leading a weary bunch of grumblers in the wilderness become familiar.
In the action novels Shepherd, Potter, Spy–and the Star Namer (2015) and The Star Namer and the Unchosen (2019), Consolver introduces a family of potters among the Gibeonites of Joshua 9 & 10 who post spies over Jericho, becoming eyewitnesses to the conquest. Each unit contains four parts: Bible, Bible Places, Research, and Expressing Yourself. Visit the “Bible Places” through map exercises, YouTube links, Satellite Bible maps, and virtual tours, etc. Research inquiries range from “How to Sling a Slingstone” or “Braiding a 7-Cord Rope” to choosing among “Thirty Amazing Fortresses” featured in Popular Mechanics and finding out more. Students will gain confidence in expressing themselves through describing how they perceive the characters, the story, or the assignment. Any age Bible student will relish this study. All ages will more clearly see, hear, and feel the action in Joshua’s saga by engaging with two brothers Keshub and Eskie, young Gibeonites who meet Joshua and become believers in the Most High God of the Hebrew Bible.
