The Bible is often neglected or weakly emphasized in the education of our children. However, author Starr Meade contends that God's word is the most important thing a Christian will ever study. This study guide series gives middle and high school students an introductory overview of the message of the Bible and encourages them to explore God's word for themselves. The Most Important Thing You'll Ever Study: Old Testament, Vol. 1 leads young teens through the beginning of the story of the Bible, teaching them about important themes and topics, such as the role of God as the main character of his own story and his work to keep his promises to a people who continually fail him.
