COMMON GROUND

What if your faith wasn't just something you believed-but something you inherited?

Common Ground, written for small group and individual studies, is a one-of-a-kind journey through history, Scripture, and personal ancestry designed especially for middle school readers-but rich enough for parents, pastors, and teachers to explore alongside them. From Roman roads to American fields, from Celtic saints to the early Church, this book traces the true story of Christianity as it unfolded through real people, real places, and one real family's lineage.

Written in engaging, accessible language, Common Ground helps students connect the dots between the past and their present walk with Christ. Each chapter features four key parts-Historical Perspective, Bible Perspective, Family Connection, and Faith in Action-to support both personal reflection and classroom or small group discussion. Whether you're a teacher looking to bring church history alive, a parent wanting to pass on the faith, or a young reader eager to understand where you came from and where you're going, this book is a map and a compass.

Walk the path of saints, martyrs, farmers, warriors, and missionaries-and discover how your place in God's story began long before you were born.
