Who We Are
The concept of The Picture-Smart Bible as a teaching methodology
was birthed during a 15-year teaching/administrative assignment for Dan Peters at Hillcrest Christian School
in Thousand Oaks, California. With his former training and experience as a graphic designer, love of the
Scriptures, and two years of continued research and development, The Picture-Smart Bible became a “new
concept” in Bible study. The “see, hear, do” methodology which TPSB incorporates, has long been recognized as
an effective way to increase comprehension and retention in both children and adults. TPSB illustrations
consist of simple symbols with a basic Bible narrative resulting in a wide age-range application and
multiculture acceptance.
The Picture-Smart Bible is both an evangelistic tool and a
discipling manual.
1. The MASTER DRAWINGS, which provide a
visual guide for
the teacher, illustrate key concepts of each book of the Bible,
Genesis to Revelation.
.
2. A “SCRIPT” or synopsis of each Bible book includes easy-to-
follow instructions regarding
when and what to draw and read.
No commentaries needed; the
“prep” is done for you. The
small drawings on the left are progressive.
3. STUDENT SHEETS (located in the resource section) are
copied and handed out to all
students. As the teacher reads
through the script, student (and
teacher) complete the dotted
line drawing, then add
color.
