It's our honor to serve your family, Kari! Have a blessed school year 🩵
Beautiful easy to use book. I love the picture book recommendations and that it is not overwhelming to me as a mom of 3 with a toddler running under my feet. I also love that I can use it with both my 3rd grader and Kinder learners.
Store owner replied:
I am so glad to hear you are loving our Level One book so far. Have a blessed school year!
I love this resource so much. It is beautifully put together and truly is a pick-up-and-go book. As someone who doesn't know where to start, this does it for me. I am only a few days in but I will certainly be purchasing more (already have and more to come!) I only hope Into the Deep can be sold in Canada directly one day soon! Getting is here is either crazy expensive or a mission.
Store owner replied:
Thanks Andrea 🩵We would love to hear how it goes!
I inquired about a good Catholic catechesis program to incorporate at home and all of the recommendations I received from multiple sources were all unanymous -- Into The Deep! Everything arrived and we can't wait to dive in.
Store owner replied:
Thanks for your feedback, Emma! May God bless your holy work!
I am blown away by the quality and content of this curriculum. The lessons are so easy to facilitate, with NO PREP needed! If you want to prep and get library books ahead of time or do something extra, you can with the "additional reading" and "deep dive" suggestions, but you can get SO much out of this resource even without those extras. I love that it's simple and can work for a variety of ages, and as a creative person, I absolutely LOVE the artwork throughout. The resource is deeply true, good, and beautiful! Thank you, Into the Deep!
Store owner replied:
Thanks Misty! We look forward to hearing how Level One works for your family. God bless you.
Such a beautiful curriculum, and I couldn’t believe how thick it is! There’s so much great content. I can’t wait to delve into this with 2 of my children. Thank you for the work you do for the domestic church, Into the Deep!!
Store owner replied:
Thanks Megan! Can't wait to hear how it goes. I hope it blesses your family! I am so grateful for you 💙
I love this book!! The presentations are well written and easy to follow. I love how there are book suggestions for each presentation that go along with the lesson. I love starting each lesson with the Daily Feast. This is something I have wanted to do with my kids for a while and Olivia made it so easy to do. I also like the Dive Deep sections to go further on the lesson.
Store owner replied:
Oh Heather! I am thrilled to hear that our Level One and The Daily Feast are working well for your family. God bless y'all!
I’m using level one with my 6 and 9 year old , my 13 year old is present for lessons as well and it has been so sweet to learn alongside my crew. Everything is open and go, which I need at this time and the thoughtfulness of each component is perfect.
I love that we have added this into our week!
Store owner replied:
Beautiful, Dawn! Thanks for sharing with us. Keep up the good work!
This is a beautiful resource for faith formation and cultivating prayer in our home! I recommend it to everyone and look forward to purchasing the next level books in the future.
Store owner replied:
God bless you, Katherine! Grateful for you!
I am so happy we are using into the deep level 1. It is incredibly kid and teacher friendly with open and go lessons, easy to understand language, and beautiful illustrations. We especially love the daily feast!!!!!
My 2nd grader and kindergartener are enjoying it and my 2 year old is learing just by hearing the Bible stories and our discussions. I highly recommend families to consider this resource!
Store owner replied:
Beautiful, Katie! May God bless your family's faith journey. You are doing a great job! 💙
The into the deep book is not only beautiful, but very powerful and easy to follow. I’m very happy with my decision to order this and put it into practice with my children at home!
Store owner replied:
I am thrilled to hear that our Level One book is being a blessing for your family, Thomas! Thanks for your feedback.
This is our first school year learning with Into the Deep and we love it! It is so accessible for whatever our children might need, whether it's a lesson on the go, or a more in depth study that we can focus on throughout the day. The curriculum is beautiful and so thoughtfully presented. We bought level 1 and look forward to continue with the next books as our family grows!
Store owner replied:
Thanks for sharing, Michelle! Know we are here for you! God bless 💙
We are using this for our morning time in our homeschool with ages 3 to 11 and we are all loving it! Combined with the hymn study (Heaven and Nature Sing), it’s just exactly what we needed to start our day with.
Store owner replied:
I hope our Level One blesses you!
What a beautiful resource. I appreciate that it requires little preparation and is mostly open and go. There are suggested books for each lessons that can help the kids further connect to the topic and I love that this includes both religious and non religious books. Can't wait to use this in our homeschool this year!
Store owner replied:
Beautiful! I hope y'all enjoy Level One. May the Lord bless your family's spiritual journey 💙
I'm excited to use this curriculum in the upcoming school year. The layout is beautiful, and I love the recommendations for the morning-time style "daily feast." Next year I'm going to start doing school with my 3rd, 1st, and pre-K students, and I think there will be something appropriate for all ages.
Store owner replied:
We are thrilled about that, Ryan! God bless you and your family!
I would recommend this curriculum to anyone looking to add more of God’s word into their homeschool! It is so easy to incorporate into your day, does not have a schedule so you never feel like you’re behind, and each lesson is short but full.
I was looking for a specifically Catholic curriculum to add into our day and this has been so perfect.
Each lesson is scripted, which I look for in a curriculum, and also leaves room for organic conversation.
This could be used for family style learning from preschool through upper elementary
Store owner replied:
That's one of our favorite parts, too! God bless you, Amy!
We have now been working through Level 1 of Into the Deep for a few weeks now... and our whole family loves it!! My young children (ages 9 and 7) are engaged and excited for every new gathering of our Morning Feast! Although we have always included prayer and scripture studies as a part of our morning routine, Into the Deep offers such an easy way to include truth, goodness, and beauty through scripture study, great discussion starters, hymn study suggestions, beautiful works of art, and a fantastic scripture study, all in keeping with our Church's teaching. All of the material is right there in our beautifully printed book!! (Awesome watercolors btw!) The prayers are so beautiful and lovely and it is truly JOY and HOPE filled!! Everything is written with the child in mind and is filled with simple truths that we all need to hear, written in a way children can understand and actively engage with! It inspires my children to think deeply about things, ask great questions, and has fueled amazing discussions! We feel so excited to have found a resource for our homeschool that we LOVE! We cannot wait to continue through all of the Into the Deep levels!! Thank you so much!! God bless!!
Store owner replied:
Christina, this is the sweetest review! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave one. I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that you all are loving it so far. I hope it blesses you all for many years to come. You're in our prayers each day!
This book has been a really great start to our homeschooling year. While we got it for our second grader to use, her younger siblings are very engaged in the activities as well.
Store owner replied:
I find that to be the case in our house, too! So grateful for the review, Natalie. God bless you all!
Beautiful! Flexible! Love, the paintings/ art. Enjoying having a little bit more structure to our family morning prayer and guiding our kids to learn the truths of our faith..
Thank you Olivia!
We love Into the Deep as the first part of our morning time. I have 3 kiddos who are 9,7, and 4. It is little to no prep work. I love how it is written so that I can read it to my kids and also add in my own thoughts. The art is beautiful and the book itself is high quality. There are great ways to extend the lesson if you wish but each lesson is complete as it is. Each lesson has additional reading suggestions that are helpful, but I don't prioritize those. The lessons are thoughtful and build on themselves. I love that I can use it as frequently as are able (which is usually one lesson a day). We are definitely planning to buy level 2 when we complete level 1!
Store owner replied:
Hello, Richelle! Thank you so much for the thoughtful review, I'm so happy the Level One is fitting well into your morning prayer! Praise the Lord!
Into the Deep is bringing so much beauty to our family! It presents God's truth and goodness in a beautiful way. I have three boys 4,7,11 and we have been using Into the Deep for the last four months, we usually do a few lessons each week. They always enjoy it - as do I - and it has so much I have wanted to teach them. It is easy to open up and use and yet it has such beautiful art, scripture, connections, simple but poignant activities, prayers, poems, stories and ways to extend the lessons - it is amazing. So thankful for this - it is exactly what we needed - such a blessing for us!
