My Voyage on the Blood Line: Lesson Plans for the Teacher
My Voyage on the Blood Line Lesson Plans for the Teacher Author:H. A. Maxfield Preface — A few years ago, the author of this book, having been qualified to train the intellectual faculty of children, was called by God to impart the "Good News" of salvation in an illustrated form. — During the years, while working with the children, she came to realize more and more that the enemy of God is making inroads upon the innocent (b... more »ut sinful) hearts of the children through two great avenues - the eye and the ear - by the multiplicity of alluring, but detrimental, instruments - picture palaces, concerts and cinemas.

Hence, the course called "A Voyage on the Blood Line" is the result; any many children have been brought to the knowledge of sins forgiven by the instruction which they can so readily perceive: that "There is one cord of truth which the Holy Spirit strikes with emphasis in the Word of God, and that is redemption by the blood" (1 Peter 1:18-21). This is the objective of this course.
A VOYAGE ON THE BLOOD LINE is made up in the form of an imaginary boat trip, stopping at ports, then taking "Excursions" to places of sacrifice through the Bible that point toward the all-atoning Cross on Calvary, and on into the Celestial City« less
