The source of our stories is the Website www.btstories.com. There are 260 stories on the site many of which you can use for personal study or to tell to your children.
For the 2015-16 year, we are doing “Themes” from the Bible. We will cycle through four themes (described at end of list). After each lesson, you can also read a wrap-up of the lesson here. Titles marked with a (*) are the actual lessons with the questions.

The Four Themes
- Failure: times when somebody blew it or did’t accomplish what they hoped
- Focus: stories of leadership, getting something done, accomplishment
- Family: relationships in general, needed a word starting with F, could be parenting, marriage, or friendships
- Finances: pretty straight forward, stories that deal with money
