Peaceful Press: The Good Gospel

We are thoroughly enjoying this beautiful and well-written Bible curriculum. Right now, we are using it with the Peaceful Press Lent reading plan. My three year old enjoys it, which is very encouraging. We start by singing a few of the welcome songs with our musical instruments then turn on the Good Gospel song on Spotify that goes with the lesson. We look at the painting, read the story and work on the verse, and then do a bit of painting on the activity sheet. It's lovely!

I am just THRILLED that I purchased The Good Gospel now and didn’t wait. We have been using it during the season of Lent. It has far, far exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend this to any mom or Sunday school teacher. Not only do my little ones love it, but I have been thoroughly enjoying and being blessed through it as well. LOVE

Peaceful Press: The Good Gospel

We're all cradle Catholics who didn't grow up memorizing verses so I'd like to get better at it myself while instilling it in our kids. This curriculum sets one up for success by dedicating each week to a particular verse and its corresponding Gospel story and artwork (plus related activities).

Because we're bilingual, I also like that I don't have to keep everything in English. Instead, I note the verse + Gospel reading in my (Peaceful Press) Homeschool Planner for the following week and bookmark them on our Kids Spanish-language Bible. Easy peasy!

Lastly, and I don't think this was done on purpose because the Pepitos are Protestant* and we start our school year in January.. I found the Gospel stories to match the ones read at Mass--at least for the early weeks. As someone who enjoys listening to Catholic podcasts (like Sunday School, which explains said Gospel readings, and Fr. Mike Schmit's Sunday Homilies!), I was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed to have come across this coincidence.

One suggestion:: Please consider making the files easier to print by offering both ONE big file and THREE zipped folders incl. The Parent Guide, the Printables, and the Artwork. This way, one can, for instance, print and bind *only* the PG, print the Printables as needed (or skip if not needed), and either print each Art piece as needed *or* send them all to have them affordably printed on cardboard elsewhere so they can become sturdier pieces the family can save for later picture studies or playroom/homeschool art that can be hung up and preserved for a long time. There ARE free apps that let us successfully separate PDFs (we used Stirling for making our own "three" files), but it' be neat and easier if this was by default.

My girls and I have enjoyed the first few weeks of homeschool using this curriculum. It’s age appropriate for my 2 and 3 year olds! We love the activities, the recipe book, and the field trips! It’s great for their attention span, we don’t sit too long at any activity! Always moving and doing neat things!
