“Bible Orientation is the only curriculum that systematically leads the learner to understand the history and theology of the entire Scriptures using no other resource than the Bible itself. As Martin Luther established at the Reformation, for Protestant churches the sole source of authority for Christian faith is the Scriptures. North American churches have a woeful lack of understanding of their sole source of authority; the Bible tends to be replaced by ideologies and pop psychologies. Here is a resource that can be used by any literate person to know and teach Scripture to children of all ages. Theological training has become increasingly challenging because students with academic degrees come with a deficiency of Bible knowledge. This is a tool to help address that need.”

Bible Orientation is very good material. Well laid out, clear and easy to follow without much teacher prep.

Bible Orientation is an excellent home school curriculum. There is so much I like. The best part is that children are digging into God’s word.
– Melanie Bartel, mom
Filled with an array of genres, authors, writing styles and viewpoints, the Bible is a complex, yet coherent entity and a vast storehouse of treasure for those who know how to dig. Bible Orientation gives students the tools needed to uncover for themselves the riches in God’s Word. This essential resource engages students of all ages through activities that will appeal to a range of learning styles. The Bible knowledge and study skills gained will last a lifetime and have a spiritual impact on future generations. Having used this curriculum as a student and as a teacher I am very enthusiastic about its potential.

I highly recommend Carole Pollard’s Bible Orientation curriculum. Although this curriculum is primarily for children, as an adult I have found it to be very inspiring. I have attended Bible studies over the years but have never before understood how amazingly the books of the Bible are connected. Bible Orientation so clearly reveals how God works and interacts with the characters in the story to show His grace, mercy, love, and instruction then and now. The curriculum is interactive and fun. Taking the course has brought the Bible to life for me and I read it with a renewed understanding and awe.

Bible Orientation has been a positive influence in the life of my children. My children came away with a solid understanding of what each book of the Bible was about. They looked forward to each new box of treasures which served as both a visual and tactile reminder of the contents of each book. We enjoyed discussing those contents and their connection with the book of the Bible after each lesson. It was great! Even now, after several years have past, they still recall those objects. I appreciated that the Bible was the primary tool for learning and that each child brought and used their Bible in each class. They didn’t learn just concepts or themes, but the Word of God.

Bible Orientation is a phenomenal way for school-aged children to learn about God and the important stories and lessons of the Bible. It is a great way to teach children because the presentation makes the concepts clear – whether a child is an Auditory, Visual or Kinesthetic learner. I learned all of the books of the Bible through Bible Orientation. Although I am an adult now, the fundamental truths I learned through the discussions, worksheets, and props of the curriculum still stick with me. I have experienced many types of Bible studies but Bible Orientation was by far the most fun I have ever had learning about God’s Word.

Bible Orientation is a great way to be introduced to the Bible. This program involves kids through interactive activities and makes kids want to learn about the Bible because it’s fun.

As a child, I attended Sunday school as well as Carol Pollard’s Bible Orientation. Before I could read through or understand the Bible on my own, Bible Orientation is where I first learned about various characters and events in the Bible. Aside from learning to memorize key scriptures and the books of the Bible in order, Bible Orientation helped me learn about Jesus in an exciting and interactive format. Through a fun atmosphere and with an enthusiastic teacher, I can certainly say I gained a basic yet important knowledge of the Bible that helped me transition to adult Christian studies.

Carole Pollard’s Bible Orientation program is an incredible curriculum. When I first saw it I was amazed at how it introduces children to, and teaches them about the Bible. I had just finished my first year of Bible school and realized that her program was comparable to the Bible survey courses I had taken. This program will give students and teachers alike a new perspective on the books of the Bible, as well as the history within them.

Bible Orientation is a user-friendly curriculum for educators that leaves children with a life-long faith tool. Its scope and sequence take children through the Bible book by book, allowing them to study and know the Word of God in a nonthreatening and tangible way.
– Amanda Janzen, Early years teacher, Linden Christian School
“If you are looking for a refreshing and enthused resource for Bible exploration, I highly recommend Bible Orientation. Carole Pollard’s passion to encourage, challenge and advance children in the pursuit of God’s Word, is cleverly and thoughtfully established in this curriculum. We implemented Bible Orientation as a teaching resource for our Sunday School program—a gift that blessed children and teachers alike.”
