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 Above & Beyond Five in a Row chapter lesson to be taught, this Christian Character Bible Study contains an accompanying group of Bible references. We have often gathered several references so that your student might choose one or two that seem the most meaningful to him. Your student may enjoy reading all the references for a particular story, as a Bible study for himself. Or he may wish to read just a few.

     There is no right or wrong way to use this supplement. You may want to set aside some time once or twice a week for the Bible study. Or you may 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 you and your family.
