Companion Literature Program

Now Catholic schools and homeschools can read The Treasure With a Face in class using our engaging literature program. We’ve been working hard with True North Book Club to develop lesson plans so teachers don’t have to. In fact, the author herself will teach the lessons in 24 videos. She’ll lead you in a fun exploration of the themes, characters, literary techniques, and vocabulary words.

  • Watch her guide you through each chapter of The Treasure With a Face, answering discussion questions and sharing secrets. What real-life person said Tamar’s words? What vacation spot inspired Eli’s swim in the sparkling pond?
  • See illustrations and learn about the culture of ancient Israel. What was inside the Temple? Why was the route to Jericho called “The Bloody Way”? How did ancient Israelites keep track of time? How is Passover different today?
  • Get instructions for hands-on projects. Build your own replica of the Ark of the Covenant (okay, it’s a bit smaller and not plated in gold). Make a cake using ingredients mentioned in the Bible.
  • Download worksheets with discussion questions and answers. Brainstorm how we can love Jesus in the Eucharist even more and how we can help others love Him.

For a limited time, you can ask Janeen your own questions! She’ll do a virtual author visit with any schools or co-ops who purchase the Treasure With a Face Literature Program. Visit TrueNorthBookClub.com to find out more.
