Our 12-year-old uses Level 3 while her younger siblings are in Levels 1 and 2. All of us learn the same weekly attribute of God, but the depth of engagement varies by level. Level 3 invites her into meaningful discussion, independent Scripture study, and journaling that challenges her spiritually and intellectually.
I lead the lesson using the Teaching Manual, which prompts me with dialogue, visuals, and how to use the Word Wall posters. After we walk through the lesson together, she works independently through the Student Workbook, where the questions often push her to reflect, connect verses, or even write out prayers or confessions.

Behold Your God: Seeking Him Early – Final Thoughts and Recommendation
After working through all three levels of Behold Your God: Seeking Him Early side-by-side with our children, we can wholeheartedly say this curriculum has become one of the most cherished parts of our homeschool. It’s rare to find a Bible study that offers unified theological content across different age levels, yet meets each child right where they are.
Each level of the curriculum is thoughtfully designed to teach the same weekly truth about God—whether your child is just beginning to explore faith (Level 1), growing in understanding (Level 2), or ready for more serious theological engagement (Level 3). This unified structure allows our whole family to study together while still meeting each child exactly where they are developmentally.
The Teaching Manuals are the backbone of this series. They’re not just instructions—they’re richly written, fully-scripted lessons that help me confidently lead without needing to be a Bible scholar. With the Parent Pages, I can quickly preview the focus of each week, and the Student Workbooks are developmentally spot-on, gradually shifting from hands-on and visual to reflective and written.
The result? Bible isn’t just another subject in our homeschool—it’s our favorite time of the week. My kids aren’t just learning facts about God; they’re learning to know Him, love Him, and respond to Him.
If you’re looking for a curriculum that brings the entire family together to study God’s character deeply and meaningfully—this is it. Behold Your God: Seeking Him Early has not only equipped me as a parent-teacher, it has shaped our family’s understanding of who God is and how we live in light of that truth.
Whether you’re just starting your homeschool journey or looking to deepen your family’s biblical literacy, Behold Your God: Seeking Him Early offers a discipleship path that is thoughtful, reverent, and rooted in Scripture. It’s not flashy or gimmicky—just faithful, beautiful teaching about the God who calls us to know Him.
We couldn’t recommend it more highly.
