My Brother's Keeper Sibling Bible Study

Love

We are now completing this Bible study a third time. I had my oldest complete it when I was pregnant with his sibling, and now as a family tradition we do this study each time I get pregnant to help remind us of how God wants us to love and see our families. It's so precious that now his younger brother, who we did the first study for, is now able to join this time. I'm not sure how many more children I will have! But I will find a way to continue the tradition to realign my children in how the Lord, not the world, wants them to view each other.

Not very well designed for families

The idea of this curriculum is amazing, and I love the company and all they stand for. I love the topics covered, and I love the curriculum itself. That being said... Our family is used to doing Bible study and learning together generally, and this curriculum is simply not suited for it. I got the "appropriate" books for each child - Pre-K, Primary (x2), and Junior, as well as a parent book, and it's a hot mess to try to actually sit down and try to go through it together. Although the lessons have the same titles and say generally the same thing, with the same Bbile verses, the wording is different in each book, and there is a different amount of content depending on the level, which means I have to literally read each child's book separately. It does not flow well no matter how we try to do it. Very frustrating. Also -- this is a minor complaint compared to the other -- some kids got certain stickers (like the little blank people/siblings for lesson one), while others did not, and this was another point of frustration for them. If we are doing an activity together, I like to be able to actually do it together in a genuine way. It might work for others, but it just did NOT work for our family. And it's far too expensive for the level of frustration that came with it. Unfortunately, I won't be buying anything else from this company unless they all get exactly the same book, which kind of undermines the concept of the program.

Very excited to use these.
