There is also just enough violence in some of the stories that I just can’t casually listen to the audiobook with them. This isn’t the case in SOTW, and until we had more time establishing that concept with my children through biblical resources, we needed something that spoke to this in a more direct way. ![]() The purpose of the discussion is always to highlight God’s authority and glory. When we do talk to our kids about false gods and idols, we make it clear that they are, indeed, false. At that stage in our children’s lives, we felt it was unwise to muddy the waters between the true God and false gods, using a curriculum that spends so much time on the latter. (I don’t believe it is even marketed as Christian.) Major pieces of God’s story are left out. The curriculum is not Christian, contrary to what some might assume or suggest.
