REVELATION 21:3

We know that raising kids can be chaotic. I (Mark) raised a strong-willed child (Megan) who has now given me four world-class grandchildren. One day she was sitting with me in our pool and said, Dad, I love what Core 52 is doing for adults, taking them through the mountaintop passages of the Bible in one year. I wish there was something like that for my kids. My reply: Write it! She protested that she was unqualified. So I ticked off her rsum: college-trained elementary school teacher, mother of four, pastors wife, and daughter of a Bible college professor. Well, you hold in your hand the result. What Megan put together is incredible (which you expect me to say). But seriously, when she gave me the first few chapters, I was blown awayI said (aloud, I think), This will actually work!

With tears in my eyes, I began to imagine parents and mentors like you sitting in a classroom or around a dinner table, having life-altering conversations with your kids. Im a teacher at heart. My job is to give you what you need to equip your children for the battlefield of life (feel free to cheat by grabbing a copy of Core 52 or Core 52 Student Edition for your teens). The biblical principles of this book will empower your kids for spiritual success. If you invest ten to fifteen minutes a day, five days a week, for one year, your child will have a firm foundation in every major principle of the Bible. Thats our promise.

No one can do for your child what you can do as a mentor. Megan and I simply and humbly want to offer you this resource, which will support you in making a majestic difference in the spiritual growth of those on whom Jesus placed the highest priority.

Here is how you can help your parents make the most of this experience:

DAY 1 Read the story to your parents. Its okay to let them read it if they want to.

DAY 2 Memorize the verse. Youre going to be better at this than your parents are, so you might want to help them find www.core52.org on their cell phones. There is a three-minute video for each verse to help them memorize it with you. (Secret: you can also find the videos on Vimeo in separate channels: Core52 Lesson and Core52 Memory.)

DAY 3 Read the passage listed. Its related to the verse you memorized. To figure out how theyre related, you can talk through the questions provided. You need to pick only the one youre most comfortable with. (Parents: The three levels here, and on Days 4 and 5, are intended to get more challenging. You may have several children at different stages of development.)

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

DAY 4 Read this passage too. It will allow you to see your verse from a different angle.

DAY 5 This is where it gets really good. We give you important questions to ask your parents and ones for them to ask you as well. Dont let them off the hook. They need to answer too. Have fun. Your parents are a great gift from God, and the time you spend with them doing Core 52 will be special for the rest of your lives.
