BTX: A Bible Teaching Experience for Preteens Learner Guide is designed to help boys and girls study the Bible alone and with others at Sunday School. Developmental needs of children are basic in the selection and development of content. BTX: A Bible Teaching Experience for Preteens Learner Guide is designed for 10- and 11-year-old children and may be used with any combination of three or more ages when the majority of the children are 10 and 11 years old. BTX: A Bible Teaching Experience for Preteens Learner Guide contains printed Bible verses for study and memorization from the Holman Christian Standard Bible®. We believe the Bible has God for its author; salvation for its end; and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter; and that all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. The 2000 statement of The Baptist Faith and Message is our doctrinal guideline. Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture quotations are taken from the Holman Christian Standard Bible®, copyright © 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2009 by Holman Bible Publishers. Used by permission. Unless otherwise noted, all definitions are taken from Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary for Kids (Nashville: B&H Publishing Group, 2010) or Holman Bible Dictionary, General Editor Trent C.
