In New Zealand we have a programme that is called BIBLE IN SCHOOLS that a group of Churches have arranged with public state funded Primary Schools, for ages 5-11

It is for ½ an hour, usually 9.00 – 9.30am in the morning and technically the School is 'closed' for this period.

Those parents who prefer their children not to take part, have a separate supervised reading time option arranged, usually in the Library.      Some teachers use this time to take a break or some choose to stay in the class  and 'catch-up'

There are Christian study books prepared which are approved curriculum, but these are generally prepared overseas, and have a cost, and are not permitted to be photo-copied.

In an effort to overcome these deficiencies, and

          to have more scriptural content and impact

          to be able to be photo-copied - free from copyright

          with New Zealand Kiwi 'characters' to accompany the students

a friend and I have written and published The QUEST

which has been extensively used in New Zealand schools and is approved as 'supplementary material'

The QUEST is divided into 4 Sections each covering a basic life question

1      WHO IS GOD ?

2      WHAT ABOUT THE BIBLE ?

3      WHO IS JESUS ?

4      WHAT IS PRAYER ?
