I have been researching Bible curriculum and studies this past week. I can’t think of anything that would give him an overview of the Bible in a few, short months. Star Meade’s books are supposed to do this but they are for younger children. If he doesn’t mind reading books of that type, he might enjoy them. My daughter would feel talked down to; she is 14 as well.
We are currently doing a study called From Genesis to Revelations. It was written about 100 years ago and is in the public domain. I found it on kindle for 99 cents. If you like it, I guess he could just read through the book without reading the recommended bible verses. That could get him through it pretty fast. Or if he’s a fairly fast reader, he could probably cover the verses a well. We spend about 15-25 minutes a day on this, reading the scripture together and reading the text together and discussing it as well. The more I think about it, a 14 year old could definitely move through this pretty quickly if reading it all silently. Check it out and see what you think.
I’ve heard many good things about The Most Important Thing You’ll Ever Study by Star Meade. I think it would take quite a bit of time to work through the entire curriculum though.
