When the Christ Came-The Road to Jerusalem: The Bible for School and Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781684223947)

2019 Reprint of undated Edition from the 1920s. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. This title is one of eight titles comprising the series The Bible for School and Home. It was used in Charlotte Mason schools and intended for parents and teachers to use in preparing Bible lessons for the children in their charge. Each of the volumes contains two dozen or more lessons, preceded by the same lengthy introduction to sound teaching practices, a section which is well worth reading. For each lesson Smyth specifies the Biblical passages to cover, then provides background information you can incorporate in your telling of the story to gain the interest of your children, carefully framed questions you can use to draw their attention to the main points, and ways you might direct the conversation to stir their affections and their actions. The story in this sixth volume recounts the story of Christ as he returns to Jerusalem to die. Knowing his death is imminent, Jesus packs these last days full of powerful teachings, including the Parables of the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, the Prodigal Son, the Good Samaritan, the Ten Virgins, and the Talents. The author covers all of these teachings in his commentary and culminating in the Crucifixion and Resurrection.
