We hope that you enjoy the spiritual food you find as you work with these lessons. But, we have just as great a hope that you will mercifully blow away any chaff you discover. We have prayerfully labored to be helpful, knowing that no work like this will be perfect.

For each Beyond Five in a Row chapter lesson to be taught, this Christian Character Bible Study Supplement contains an accompanying group of Bible references. We have often gathered several references so that you might choose one or two that seem the most appropriate to you. As the teacher, you may enjoy reading all the references for a particular story, as a Bible study for yourself. Then choose the verse or story that would most enhance the lesson for your student.

Try to teach each Bible concept simply and conversationally. There is no right or wrong way to use this supplement. You might choose to set aside some time once or twice a week for your Bible study, or may prefer to use "teachable moments" to share; opportunities that present themselves unexpectedly throughout the week. Still others will prefer to incorporate this study into an already existing family devotional time on Saturday mornings, Sunday evenings or at mealtimes. Use this material however it works best for your family. Consider the age and spiritual readiness of your student, to keep the Bible lessons an enjoyable part of your Beyond Five in a Row studies.
