Testimonials
“…This is information that is insightful and helpful even at my age!…”
“I just wanted to let you know I am so impressed with The Body Matters curriculum. I am just finishing up Level 4, Book 1 with my class and I LOVE what we are learning about friendship. This is information that is insightful and helpful even at my age! Dealing with relationships and friendships is so crucial, but something that many of us live our whole lives never learning much about. Thanks for doing the work–I hope it enriches many lives and relationships.”
“…extremely helpful… especially for the sake of any teachers who will be teaching TOB for the first time.”
“I recently finished a pilot of TOBET’s The Body Matters for my 6th and 7th grade students and ROOTED from Ruah Woods Institute for my 8th grade students. In my own classroom, I have found the simplicity and repetition of TOB concepts from The Body Matters to be extremely helpful, and this gives me confidence to expand this program to all grade levels in our school, especially for the sake of any teachers who will be teaching TOB for the first time.”
“It builds a foundation in a way they can understand… Best Foundation Ever”
“The dialogue that we are having with the students using TOB language and examples is essential! It builds the foundation in a way they can understand. They see the relevance of TOB in their everyday life as children. They can intentionally apply the truth of God’s inner circle of love in their life right now, in the relationships that are most meaningful to them at this stage in their life. Helping them understand what full gift of self means and how they can live it out—Best Foundation Ever. We are preparing them to be able to engage their intellect when it comes to topics of sexuality.”
“…My mom and I read it in the car together…”
“The Body Matters is really cool. My mom and I read it in the car together. It helps me have a good understanding about the body and the gift of self and the love God gives to us through our bodies.”
