Light in the Darkness Bible Journal Class

December Nativity Theme

 

Light in the Darkness

The Nativity story is more than history—it’s a mirror of our own spiritual awakening. In this 10-lesson Bible study, you’ll trace the journey from waiting and confusion to clarity, peace, and the steady light of Christ breaking into the darkness of your life.

Through Scripture, journaling, and heartfelt reflection, you’ll discover how God works quietly in hidden places, leads you through uncertainty, and brings His healing light into the corners of your heart that need it most.

Every lesson includes a family devotional for all ages—beautiful for homeschool mornings or simple Advent evenings. Get a Sneak Peek Preview.

Each lesson comes with journaling cards, themed page kits, and creative Treasure Journal projects featuring nativity-inspired pockets, tucks, clusters, and vintage details that make your study meaningful and memorable.

This class isn’t just about learning the Christmas story—it’s about experiencing the light of Christ in your own story. Step by step, you’ll learn to walk with Him—gently, faithfully, and confidently—as He brings hope to every shadowed place in your life.

12 Bible Eras in 12 Months in 2026

A Yearlong Scripture Journey Through God’s Timeline

In 2026, we’ll journey through all 12 Bible Eras—one class each month.
From Creation to the Early Church, you’ll explore God’s unfolding story with fresh lessons, coordinated kits, and treasure-journal projects. Each month builds on the last, helping you see Scripture as one beautiful, connected revelation of His love.

NEW FAMILY DEVOTIONALS FOR HOMESCHOOL FAMILIES!

Plus, each lesson now includes a new Family Devotions section—perfect for engaging all ages together (excellent for homeschool Bible time!) Designed by a 30 year Homeschool Mom veteran—for Homeschool Families! Deepen your faith journey as a family with these rich, updated Bible Era studies.

Is the Bible Confusing? You’re Not Alone.

Many people struggle to understand the Bible because it isn’t arranged like a normal book. The timeline jumps. Stories overlap. Names sound alike. Before long, frustration wins and the journey stops.

That’s why I created the 12 Bible Eras Study—a simple, month-by-month path that helps you see Scripture as one beautiful, connected story.

In 2026, we’ll walk through all 12 Bible Eras in 12 months, giving you:

  • Clear, easy-to-follow lessons each week

  • A monthly Treasure Journal using free  coordinated page kits

  • Brand-new Family Devotions added to every lesson—ideal for homeschool families or anyone wanting to grow together

  • 12 In-depth chronological Bible classes with page kit downloads for $12 a month

This study helps you and your family connect the dots, deepen your faith, and understand how every page of the Bible points to Jesus.

I’m Robin Sampson McCarthy—homeschool mom of nine, Bible teacher, and journaling kit designer. For more than 30 years, I’ve helped families learn the Bible with confidence and joy. I’d love to walk through the story with you in 2026.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR 

Over 20 years ago, I found a structured strategy to unlock the treasures of God's Word to see it as one unified story. We journal through the entire Bible using the 12 Bible Eras method. We study one historical era in-depth each month.

I also teach several Topic Bible Studies.

The Bible Can be Overwhelming

The Bible is not written in chronological order, and some events are repeated in different books, written by different authors, to different audiences, and for different purposes. Placing the events you are reading about in their correct historical context helps you understand what you’re reading. 

Join us for a twelve-month study through the 12 Bible Eras!
