What people are saying . . .
"I teach Thru the Bible with Boot the Mule at my church. I love it, and more importantly, the kids love it. They especially love Oscar. I love to hear the cheers when they hear the Harley. Thank you for your ministry!!!"
Laura Bunce - Victory Baptist Temple, Brimfield, OH
"My name is John Diehl and I am writing you to let you know what a blessing your Junior Church materials have been to us at Missionary Bible Baptist Church. I was asked to lead our Junior Church program about a year ago by our pastor, Mark Rohnke. After agreeing to oversee the Junior Church program, my pastor gave me some sample material to look over called Thru the Bible with Boot the Mule. After briefly viewing the curriculum, the teachers and I agreed that we would give it a try. What a blessing it has turned out to be! Within the first few weeks, we had several kids either get saved or assurance of salvation. We have three teen boys running the puppet ministry, which has been a huge blessing to me and them. All three of these boys have really played the parts, and are enjoying serving the Lord in this way. My dear wife has become known as Mrs. Gloria VanderBoot by all the kids. Several of our other adults have come to visit as guests (Mrs. Mule, George the Mule, Noah) to help us teach God's Word in a fun and enjoyable way."
John M. Diehl, Junior Church Director - Missionary Bible Baptist Church, Hanover, PA

An Overview of the Junior Church Curriculum
 hru the Bible! We believe that no child should be left behind in Biblical literacy. This unique three-year survey trip through every book of the Bible, with each lesson written by Christian Attorney Terry Lee Hamilton, uses only the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. Click here for the Scope and Sequence of this three-year, through-the-Bible curriculum.

8th Quarter |
12th Quarter |
 usic-Driven! Children love lively music, and one of the best ways to teach God's Word to children is through music. "101 Songs Thru the Bible with Boot the Mule," each song written by Christian Attorney Terry Lee Hamilton, will delight as well as instruct children of all ages.

| The Curriculum Notebook for each quarter includes a CD with all of the songs accompanying the 13 lessons. The CD contains each song sung by vocalists with the accompaniment. Also on the CD is an instrumental version of each song to be used if you do not have a piano player. |

The Curriculum also includes a bound volume of the sheet music for each year. Volume 1 for the 1st Year (84 pages) includes 32 songs. |
 uppet-Driven! Each lesson contains puppet skits with such lively characters as Boot the Mule, Oscar the Pig, Smithfield the Swine, and Cecilia Swine. Boot the Mule, confident that most humans are not familiar with the important role that mules play in numerous Bible stories, introduces children to a menagerie of memorable Bible-based characters found in Boot the Mule's Official Book of Mule History and Behavior. Each week, Boot's aunt, Mrs. Gloria VanderBoot, the world's foremost authority on mule manners, helps Boot teach the puppets and the children "Rules to Live By" based on the Bible.

Boot the Mule is the engineer on The Bible Express, a Gospel train which travels all over the world telling boys and girls about Jesus. Boot the Mule opens each puppet skit by singing Boot the Mule's Official Book of Mule History and Behavior with all of the children. But he gets embarrassed when his Aunt Gloria gives him a big kiss in front of all of the children. |
 |
Oscar the Pig is a real PIG! He roams the countryside and comes to church on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Oscar's three loves are food, his motorcycle, and himself. Oscar is filled with famous sayings about himself, including:
• "I'm a pig, and I'm loud. I'm a pig, and I'm proud. I'm a PIG!!!"
• "I'm rough, and I'm tough, and I'm all that stuff!"
Oscar is usually a severe challenge to Mrs. VanderBoot's attempts to teach manners to the puppets and the children. Get those manners and brakes fixed, Oscar! |
 |
Smithfield the Swine is a proper pig, a sophisticated swine, chauffeured to church each Sunday in his Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. Smithfield, a model of sophistication and manners, is often compelled to tell his piggish friend, "Oh, Oscar, you are so-o-o-o-o disgusting!" But even Smithfield can have a momentary lapse of manners when he is offered Grey Poupon Mustard. Don't drool over the Grey Poupon, Smithfield! |
 |
Cecilia Swine, a cousin of Oscar the Pig, is from Backside Creek in Nowhere, Kentcky. Cecilia has a strong desire to become proper and sophisticated like Smithfield the Swine, but her cousin Oscar often reminds her that at the end of the day she's still a pig. |
