The Story of Resurrection Resources
The Father's Books is the on-line division of Resurrection Resources. Since 1990, Resurrection Resources has published educational products for the Christian/Messianic community. We began with a novel for a church ministry and Bible studies for a variety of classrooms. Then requests came from home school moms. They wanted textbooks and workbooks written with a Biblical worldview that would help teach their students how to write. Next, we received requests for science, history, English, math, art, etc.
Over the years since then, we have produced a variety of Biblically sound books and products that are used by parents, teachers, individuals, and students in all types of schools around the world.
WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT?
Our products are different because they are written by qualified and highly educated teachers who have worked one-on-one with students over many years. The benefit of this personal method of teaching is that it truly gets at the heart of how a student learns what he/she needs to learn. From this specialized interaction, we are able to create textbooks, workbooks, and educational products that connect with each student.
Through a combination of textbooks/workbooks, consumable textbooks, and "hands-on" products, our school subjects are designed so that long after a lecture is over or a textbook reading is assigned, your student will still have a tutor built right into his/her curriculum. This enhances a student's educational success, whether in the classroom or at home.
WHY DO OUR PRODUCTS WORK SO WELL?
Textbooks in classrooms often change in style and methodology from year to year as a school chooses different publishers for different subjects. This strategy may result from many financial or situational issues but does not always work to produce an effective educational result.
Consider the many students who never learn to write (or write well) because of a patchwork of textbook and teacher styles that have no continuous thread of methodology behind them. Consider the textbook that uses a "scatter" method of teaching, where a concept is introduced only intermittently throughout the book. Then there are students who are ill-prepared for science because the complexities of science are not learned in a continual, gradual, step-by-step process.
There is also the philosophy of allowing students to excel in the subjects, in which they show interest or ability, leaving other subjects to atrophy. For all of these students, the educational result produces unbalanced, poorly trained students who at best may have lopsided skills and at worse may be failing in school, but in reality the students may have very good aptitudes to learn.
Our textbooks are thorough, well-thought out, and built on a careful methodology of teaching one step at a time. By integrating several learning styles and skills, each workbook/worktext is written to create balance in the student. For instance, our science and math not only teach math and problem-solving skills, but also enhance vocabulary, writing, reading, and language process skills. Similarly, our English and history add balance to a student by integrating logic, focusing on reality, and employing incremental learning skills, as well as other non-humanities skills. Because of this approach, our educational materials work hard to create balanced students who are better equipped to enter the job market or higher education and to succeed.
WHY ARE WE BIBLICALLY SOUND?
We work hard to keep our textbooks, workbooks, and products free of worldly ideas, philosophies, and practices while we strive for each item to accurately handle the Word with maturity and balance. The miracle of the Resurrection and justification through faith in Jesus are pivotal. All of our personnel are mature, born-again believers who not only have years of accumulated Bible study, but also decades of walking with Him in the application and teaching of His truth.
Our policy in preparing teaching and educational materials is to present and teach the truth of both the New Testament and Old Testament in an understandable, friendly format. This policy includes preparing school subjects so that your student is guided to discover Biblical truth through interactive exercises as it is being taught. The maturity of our writers and editors, as well as their wisdom and depth of understanding the believer's walk, is also reflected in the contents of each course of study. Whether teaching character, wisdom, behavior, or knowledge, our books consistently present God's perspective, thereby building a firm foundation of Biblical truth in your student for his/her edification and maturation.
