Learn how to impact the 21st Century!

This year your students will read 37 books that will transport them to different places and times throughout the 20th Century. Some will inspire. Others will disturb. All are chosen to help them understand how our culture views reality. With the help of your Core 300 Instructor's Guide you will have many lively discussions with your older students as you prepare them to stand strong in our post-Christian culture.
