Dear Randall House,
Our home is what you would call a full house. We have 4 children ages 12, 10, 8, 3, my younger sibling, my husband, myself, 5 birds, and a one-eyed cat. Early on we decided that regular church attendance and nightly Bible study was a must, but we found that after a while the kids knew all the Bible stories and could answer the typical questions, even some that we had missed! This was especially true with our oldest. He would get bored and since we were already dealing with ADHD this was not working very well. Our communication with him was disappearing and his grades were going down. We were losing him.
Then our church decided to try the Clear program. We didn’t know what to expect, but we were willing to give it a go. That was the best idea we had. Our son started asking questions and taking part. WOW, what a shock; he was back from the dead! I think what shocked us most was that after doing some of the family links, we saw a difference in all of the three older children. We found that just doing a few of the things suggested that it showed our children we didn’t read the Bible just to learn it, but how to apply it to our lives. What a break through. Our oldest said, “It’s not boring any more.” Now I’m not saying our house runs in perfect harmony, because as you can imagine our home is an ongoing series of finding limits and getting to know each other’s likes and dislikes. CLEAR has just helped in giving us as parents a peace of mind, knowing that our kids see the Bible isn’t just stories, it’s a guide to life.
Thank you,
The Rider Family, Ohio
The new Clear materials are phenomenal. I have not taught from the “quarterly” in over 20 years. It is some of the best, if not the best, I have ever used. CLEAR is easy to follow, up to date, and easily adaptable to my class. I would recommend it to anybody.
In Christ,
Don Holland

I wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much I am enjoying the new CLEAR Curriculum. I have taught the junior high class for years, and I have never been as inspired or motivated as I have been since implementing the CLEAR curriculum in my class.
The teacher’s book is full of innovative ideas. We teachers are not only prepared to teach the lesson, but we are also given numerous ways to help the students develop a greater love for Jesus and learn how to apply it in their lives.
Unbelievably to me, I actually have students who are filling out their books and doing the daily Bible readings. They come to class on Sunday mornings with insights into the lesson, as well as challenging questions from their study. Personally, each quarter so far, I have read the students’ book from cover to cover before even looking at the teacher’s book. It is excellent.
The only difficulty I am having is in selecting which sections to cover in my 45-minute class period. This is actually a good problem; it is an amazing to have so much good material from which to choose.
Thanks for providing rejuvenation to a somewhat worn out, burned out teacher. I have been inspired.
Sincerely,
Suzanne Lewis, IL

A couple of weeks ago I came across the box of literature you sent me and picked up the materials for the two and three year olds. As a writer, and preschool teacher (2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s), I can only say kudos to Randall House! This material is fabulous! It is very well structured, concise, and very user friendly. I love that you are using lessons boards. The children love to see a picture “come alive.”
Thanks for sharing such a fine quality product with us, and thank you Randall House for doing such a wonderful job making it easier to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. After all, this is what we are all commissioned to do!
Blessings,
Pam McCully, TN

Dear Friends at Randall House Publishing,
Thank you for all the years you made my Sunday School job a blessing. But now, I am elated with the presentation of materials you are providing for our Free Will Baptist churches. These are your best years.
For several years I pondered writing to recommend a change. But I never did.
Now I write to praise you! You are providing so much in the current format; I continue the weekly lesson and incorporate it in the Sunday evening hour or Wednesday night school for our children. There is so much to use. The writer has been wonderful, as well as the ideas provided. There are many other things I could address—of all the positives, such as the packet—but I’ll share some other time. I love the CDs you are providing for our music and the art is great!
One last thought. I’ve often desired to be a Sunday school literature writer these last 32 years, during my studies in God’s Word. And now, He has given me more than my heart’s desire, and has raised up my children to love His Holy Word and to write of it, even as I taught them. I am so grateful to my Lord and His providence for allowing you to invite my daughter, Sherry Lynn Coyle to be a part of this great work at Randall House. Go Team!
In Christ,
Kiska L. Sifers
