Christian Novel Studies publishes affordable literature guides from a Christian perspective, Basic Booklets, and America -- An Integrated Curriculum. CNS is a home business that was started in 1996 by the Roe family. At the beginning of the Roe family’s eleven-year homeschooling adventure, Chris wanted to use literature-based materials from a biblical perspective, but didn’t find enough available. She began writing literature guides for the books in the TRAILBLAZER series by Dave & Neta Jackson. 
LIMITED TIME OFFER!  A FREE STUDY GUIDE and a FREE TIME LINE FIGURE are available with the purchase of an individual book in the TRAILBLAZER series! (This special offer is applicable to selected titles only -- click on the link to see the titles:  TRAILBLAZER SPECIAL OFFER.)

Over the years, the Roes have expanded CNS materials to include literature guides in two formats, America -- An Integrated Curriculum, and Basic Booklets.  One of Christian Novel Studies’ main goals is to provide reasonably priced literature-based materials
for homeschooling families and Christian schools.  Prices for materials published by CNS -- and the mailing rate (just $2.00 per
order!) -- have never been raised.

Check out the literature guides, America, and the Basic Booklets -- they are some of the best buys in educational materials today.
Also, be sure to take advantage of the incredible savings and special bargains on the Damaged/Defective CNS Materials & Used Books page!  The Book Treasures page includes titles of some of our favorite books and resources; the Hands-On page contains descriptions of fun activities.
