Diane Geerlinks and Betty Panza both have had many years of teaching experience. Betty has taught in Christian Schools for 15 years with a deep desire to teach children the depths of God's Word, often using a thematic approach. Diane, a homeschool mom and conference speaker has taught for 20 years, sharing a passion for teaching children to love learning through a hands-on approach.

"I share a passion with Betty and Diane. They are extraordinary teachers who increasingly live out a grace and a passion rooted in the heart of God. It is the fervor of fresh attention being given to ancient, supportive Jewish roots. Since we "have come to share in their spiritual blessings" (Rom 15:27a), we owe God's people a debt of love and gratitude. The studies of the Tabernacle, and feasts, is a thesaurus of the past, the present and the future with God. Unearthing Kingdom merchandize, is full of joy and challenge. In this curriculum, you'll find the promise of the shadow of things to come (cf. Heb 10:1) gloriously giving way to the substance of the Father's presence in the Son.

Excavating deeply buried deposits of grace in the Old Testament, Diane and Betty help children and all of us experience the richness of our salvation. The intergenerational mining method and reproducible teaching style also allows for rediscovering the Spirit's presence and gifts in each other.

Nurtured and entrenched in an expression of the Christian faith with a strong emphasis on the trustworthiness of Scripture, on understanding the New Testament in the light of the Old, Betty and Diane urge us, too, to dig deep. With such a lode exposed for us by this digging, we marvel at God's passion for us."
