Believe me, I understand the frustration about trying to go through the entire Bible in a year. There is just too much to do. I have been focusing on a "golden cord" - namely, where is Jesus in the story (because I believe He is present even in the Old Testament!), and where is Jesus in our similar stories today? For example, in the Adam and Eve story, I told the children how God promised to destroy the serpent - and how many thousands of years later, Jesus did! Thank you all again for your help! After we finish this series, I plan on using these rotation models in full to focus on different particular stories. Thank you for the introduction to this style of teaching!

Thank you all so much for your input and ideas! I had looked into the "Through the Bible" DVD series, but as you have already stated, they are not done making them yet. It is exciting, though, and I will use them in the future! Thank you also for the Route 66 book idea. This is more along the lines of what I was looking for.
