Mystery of History Homeschool Curriculum

"If you are looking for a multi-level Bible based history curriculum that doesn't separate church history from state history, then you will be pleased with Mystery of History!" Harriet Yoder, Lamp Post Homeschool Store

3/05 The Mystery of History was chosen by Cathy Duffy as on of her "100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum" in the history/social studies category.

5/05 I started using it with our three 7 to 11 year old sons last fall. I read the lesson aloud and do some (though not all) of the projects with the older two (the middle one is 9 years old). We are about half way through the text (taking longer because I supplemented with some ancient history videos--like you would get from the library). I plan to take a few weeks to do the timeline activities (instead of doing that with each lesson). It is just easier for us to do one major thing at a time and do it really well!

The author says on the back of the text that it was written primarily for gr. 4 to 8 but that it is adaptable for older and younger students. I think you will like it and appreciate having all your children on the same page in at least one subject.

From the Back Cover

"Learn how God, since the beginning of time, has sought to reveal Himself to man. From Noah and Abraham and Moses, to the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans, the Lord has been at work to testify to His presence and tell us who He is. Ultimately, He revealed Himself through Jesus Christ. Your students will learn how and why the mystery of history is the gospel of Jesus Christ. This historically accurate and exciting book will have your whole family eating up history! Plenty of worthwhile projects will occupy the younger set while older students are doing their completely planned lessons, making this a dream course for busy homeschoolers.
