First Branch Course of Book 3 (Grade 2-1)

This course is the first in a series that addresses the aim and content of lessons that children will study following Grade 1. It further develops the concept that the gem-like qualities that children are to mirror forth can best be seen as faculties of the human soul, as permanent structures on which a noble and upright character is built.

It focuses on those habits and patterns of conduct that give expression to the inner spiritual qualities explored in Grade 1 such as turning to God in prayer, adhering to the laws of God, and seeking knowledge. It comprises nine lessons for children, arranged into three sets, as well as preparatory sections for teachers to analyze their content.
