Personal Ponderings has developed journaling systems to organize not only the record of daily life and deep spiritual thoughts and feelings, but also insights and understandings of literary works. These journals are simple tools that provide a safe place for powerful personal thoughts and beliefs. They easily organize the record of one's experiences. By dividing life into three areas: day-to-day living, literary works, and spiritual experiences, we can more easily organize our own record, the great ideas of others, and our personal revelations.

World, U.S., and Native American history books with an LDS Perspective, written by Dan Hunter. Dan started writing these books when he was teaching at a private school. Researching people and events of history take much time and soon other teachers were asking for the stories Dan was using to teach history. History is more interesting and better remembered when told in stories about the people and events of that time period. It is also important to learn history with an understanding of God’s laws and His hand in dealing with people as they obey or disobey those laws. These books have map outlines you can copy for your children and a list of books and videos that go with the time period being studied. President Monson said, "You don't find truth groveling through error. You find truth by searching the holy word of God." President Kimball also taught that "The secular without the foundation of the spiritual is like the foam upon the milk, the fleeting shadow. One need not choose between the two, for there is opportunity to get both simultaneously. "Even though these concepts have been taught by our Church leaders, most curriculum is void of the teachings from the Standard Works. The Kimber curriculum is established to be a GUIDE to assist the student to progress through their learning experience by joining the Standard Works with the secular learning in every subject. We have intertwined INTRINSIC VALUES throughout the curriculum to help students reach their maximum spiritual and academic potential. This curriculum, along with catalogs and sample packets, will be available at the Conference. Distance Learning is also offered with Dr. Kimber's lectures and teachings at Kimber Academy, videoed from Salt Lake City. |
