The one book your child needs to read before they start 'adulting'               

There's one book that offers insight into the key elements of Western culture. Your kids need to be familiar with it to understand the world they live in and the world they inherited.

Why do our students need the Bible? Start with the fact that it is the best-selling book of all time and we are raising a generation ignorant of its contents. Add to that its status as the primary document in Western history. Every educated person deserves to know the Bible.  Donald Sweeting serves as Chancellor of Colorado Christian University.

Knowledge of the Bible is foundational to understanding Western culture. It has influenced our art, our literature, our philosophy, our education and justice system, our understanding of government and family, and it has had a profound effect on humanitarianism and philanthropy.

The Bible is a cultural key that unlocks vocabulary, symbols, images, metaphors throughout Western culture. Our literature is steeped in biblical references from books by Shakespeare to Steinbeck to the speeches of Lincoln and Martin Luther King. According to surveys by U.S. high school English teachers, we know that Bible knowledge confers a distinct educational advantage on students.
