The simplicity of the curriculum is refreshing. It also allows us to spend less money on Sunday School supplies, since all you need is a printer, not a large trip to the craft store for pipe cleaners, google eyes and glue. An Illustrated Earth has worked great for our younger elementary classrooms, and we just tweak some of the questions for our older classrooms so they have a practical application for them as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"float: right;\"\u003e\"I truly hope your style and philosophy helps to calm the other curriculum makers, who seem to be all about entertaining children and pushing products. The theology of Illustrated Ministry is solid, the openness to wonder about the mystery of God is there, and what better way to work out your wrestling with who God is in your life than through coloring and conversation with children. Thank you again so much for the way you’ve helped us reach our children in new ways.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"float: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: left; margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 10px;\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1393\/3153\/files\/unnamed_small.png?v=1473045689\" alt=\"\"\u003eBecca Bateman\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eAssociate Pastor of Family Ministries at San Marino Community Church (San Marino, CA)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eReady to Dive into Creation Care?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your Illustrated Earth curriculum.
