As a member of the Homeschool Review Crew, I am privileged to be able to try out a variety of really great homeschool curriculum. But, top date, my favorite has been those by Apologia. I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist is another fine example of the fantastic apologetics curriculum published by Apologia!
I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist is a high school (and above) level curriculum that encourages you to think about your Christian beliefs and teaches you hot to defend them in an articulate way. This is something I personally need to work on, so I was excited to receive this curriculum. The I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist curriculum comes with a 447 page soft-cover text ($16) and a spiral-bound workbook ($33). The text is extensive and contains 15 chapters, plus three appendix and two indexes. Take a look at the table of contents and sample chapter. I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist is not a quick and easy read which makes the 279 page workbook so wonderful. Take a look at the table of contents and a sample chapter of the workbook. The workbook really helps you work through and understand the text. I have to say that I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist is a real challenge to read. It really taxed my poor, tired, Momma brain. Which is a GREAT thing! We need challenges sometimes to get us out of ruts!
I am, slowly but steadily working through the I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist curriculum. My goal is to complete one section of the workbook every couple of weeks. That doesn’t always happen, but I work on it as I can. I’m choosing not to write in the workbook because I want other family members to be able to use it when they are mature enough or ready enough to use it. I am honestly getting SO much from this curriculum that I actually think it’s BETTER to take it slowly, just so you can really absorb as much of it as you can. I set aside 30-45 minutes a day to work on the study. Working at this pace, it will probably take me over a year to complete. But, I think it’s well worth the time.
I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist has given me much to contemplate. I love the workbook format. I’m choosing not to write in it, instead, I’m keeping track of my notes, by chapter, in a 3-ring binder. Each section of the workbook has you read the associated chapter of the book and works you through learning key topics and terms. It’s chock full of insightful information that really helps you “get” what the book is teaching. I loved the short bios of the key people featured in the chapter. I do feel that the workbook is a MUST for use with the I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist text. It really helps you understand what the book’s content. While $33 may seem expensive, it really is an important part of this curriculum that you don’t want to be without.
I also found it really nice that the folks at Apologia provide you with the password to the “book extras” section of their website. There you will find the answers to all of the workbook questions if you get stuck, as well as chapter tests. That is a really nice “extra”!
I am so glad that I was able to receive I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist text and workbook. I honestly think this is one curriculum that will be used by us all (adult and child) and then handed down to the grand kids. Thank You Apologia!
