This vintage teacher’s edition of “Paths of Gold” offers a glimpse into the world of Christian education in the late 20th century. Published by A Beka Book, a leading provider of Christian homeschool and private school curriculum, this book was part of their reading program designed to instill moral values and a biblical worldview in young learners.
Authored by Mike Davis, Frank Hicks, and Laurel Hicks, “Paths of Gold” likely contained a collection of stories, poems, and other literary works carefully curated to align with the publisher’s conservative Christian beliefs. As a teacher’s edition, this copy would have provided instructors with lesson plans, discussion questions, and supplementary materials to guide their students through the assigned readings.
Beyond its educational purpose, this book serves as a historical artifact, reflecting the rise of the Christian homeschooling movement and the efforts of publishers like A Beka to cater to this growing market. For collectors interested in the intersection of education, religion, and literature, this well-preserved teacher’s edition offers a tangible connection to a significant cultural phenomenon of the era.
