I had only bought the Companion to look at--I erred in thinking that the Family Guide was IN the Companion and that I would be able figure out my questions with that book. Without all the information it is hard to compare! Another reason why you'd be a good neighbor!

I looked at both companies and what they offered quite extensively.<br />Until I get typed up ;)<br />Perhaps have a look n compare at each companies Schedules, then SL's IGs & BPs Discussion Guides.<br />It may help if you tell yourself to think of Bps History Companion as a spine - as opposed to thinking of it as an instructor's guide.<br />☺Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087457076737498284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46713744559642203.post-29408636958272020072015-01-26T15:06:42.849+13:002015-01-26T15:06:42.849+13:00Full of questions...here's another one for you...Full of questions...here's another one for you--What is the difference(s) between BP and SL? and does BP go through history slower? and more in-depth? or? I know I am struggling this year trying to fit in all the books and learning that I want us to get through while having some sort of SL spine. We will be on Week 22, but still on SL Core G's Week 8!!! I don't want to breeze through history as fast as it is scheduled, but really dig in where there is extra interest. Have you compared BP to SL in any relatable way that you could share? I know that is a big question, feel free to ignore if it is too big!reader19https://www.blogger.com/profile/17078714575257468467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46713744559642203.post-191338505934504222015-01-24T17:51:02.894+13:002015-01-24T17:51:02.894+13:00The History Companion does not contain the Family ...The History Companion does not contain the Family guide ; it's not like SL's IGs which contain the teaching notes and schedule. The Family Guide is a one time purchase and Biblioplan kindly allow us to update it for free each time they do an update. The History Companion updates require a purchase each time. (Updates are not done on the Companion very often so that's not an issue for me).<br />Because I purchased the Family Guides, some years back, I am able to get the most current Family Guides, for free, each time we swing back round through the next era of history.<br />So yes, I have purchased the Family Guides, History Companion, Maps, and Cool History pages.<br />☺ Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087457076737498284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46713744559642203.post-83656415294402999932015-01-24T15:42:28.581+13:002015-01-24T15:42:28.581+13:00So, besides the "Companion" you buy the ...So, besides the "Companion" you buy the "Family Guide" and the "Cool History Pages"?

Are you asking about Sonlight's Inst...Hi Julie,<br />Are you asking about Sonlight's Instructor Guides or the books they schedule in to use as spines?<br />If it's the later BP schedules in those spines to their family guides too..<br />If it's the former I prefer Biblioplan spine (History Companion) over Sonlight's IGs.<br />BP is more of a text type spine (think encyclopedia style, complete with coloured pictures, details of key figures and events which includes world history, church history, religions of the world, maps etc)<br /><br />Sonlight's IGs are not a text. The IG is a teaching tool and discussion guide to go with the books being read in Sonlight's schedules. Those same IGs may also include additional comments to go with the era of history being covered. All imo of course.<br /><br />I wanted the information packed text as opposed to a teaching guide so went with BPHC. BP do have separate discussion guides to go with each History Companion (I've never used them).<br /><br />Did that make sense :p <br /><br />PS: Hoping you manage to get your hslaunch losses sorted. Ouch! Really feeling for you!)Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087457076737498284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46713744559642203.post-48932009609855367202015-01-23T09:06:15.514+13:002015-01-23T09:06:15.514+13:00Tracy,

We found the companion to be full of wonderful information we really wanted to learn about and so I needed to make room for that to happen :p<br /><br />Thinking of, and praying for you and yours too!<br />So nice to find comments here and to have blog posts from you arrive in my feed.
