Recently, a number of educators have asked for a new third-fifth grade Bible book—one with a faithful translation of text, more critical-thinking questions, activities, and food for thought. In the words of one educator, "We want to engage the students in real Bible study."

Jaime Kleiman and her third-grade classmates at Temple Sinai, Summit, New Jersey pilot the new Bible book

critique the chapter, evaluating editorial and pedagogic content, design, age-appropriateness, and classroom effectiveness. We will incorporate their comments and reactions as we move into the book’s final stages of development.

For those of you who are looking for a fresh, energetic, and stimulating Bible book that is ideal for today’s curious and critical third-fifth graders, hold a spot in your curriculum. Your copy will arrive on the Golem Plan in April 2006.
