Overview

Modern life and thought is influenced by pervasive individualism—but the Bible commands us to strongly consider how life choices will affect others, including future generations. Created exclusively by the Nehemiah Institute, the Worldview Basic Training manual is an in-depth discipleship training course designed to encourage Christians in their faith through an enriching relationship with God, equip Christians to be effective agents of salt and light in a world of darkness, and prepare Christians to lead and influence others. The objective of this course is to train Christians in the ways of God, specifically focusing on the need to train children by instilling in them core biblical truths.

Worldview Basic Training provides basic instruction of biblical principles in the areas of politics, economics, education, religion, and social issues. These training materials are intended to instill in readers a conviction that the Bible speaks authoritatively and accurately in each of these spheres of life. Worldview Basic Training consists of nine chapters, which conclude with brief quizzes. Several exercises are included throughout the course to reinforce key terms and concepts. This book is ideal for teachers, students—especially within a classroom setting—and anyone interested in worldview issues.
