Amazing Resource!
Review bySarah
We are absolutely loving *A Child's Geography Vol. 2: Explore the Holy Land*! This workbook is amazing—so easy to use and truly "open and go," which makes homeschooling so much simpler. There’s a wealth of information packed into each lesson, and it’s presented in a way that’s engaging and accessible for kids.
My child loves it and looks forward to each new section, which makes it such a joy to teach. The content is not only informative but also really captures their interest, which is a big win for us!
As always, we are so impressed with the quality of everything Master Books creates. They truly make learning enjoyable, and we can’t wait to explore more of their resources. Highly recommend this workbook to anyone looking to teach their kids about geography in an engaging and meaningful way!

Loved!
Review byTerena
My daughter’s favorite part has been the recipes from around the world. I’ve enjoyed that it really goes hand and hand with World Story as are doing that right now as well, so she is learning about the countries while learning their history.

Amazing geography course!
Review byKD
My son and I both love it, a real engaging way to learn geography. I would like to suggest maybe adding in missionaries or church history for each country. How the gospel spread in each place.

Great course!
Review byAnika
I purchased this course for my kids and they learned a lot! The only thing I would improve on are the maps. We often had to refer to a Bible atlas because we could not find all the answers or locations on maps the book included.

Excellent Book
Review byMarcy
While this book is written for an upper elementary age student, I really wanted to a Geography of the Holy Land class for my high schooler. I'm so glad I ordered this book! We have both learned so much and it is our favorite class this year. I've supplemented with historical fiction, videos (music, culture, and geography) and documentaries, and as the end of the year draws near, we're sad to be finishing up. We love that it's Biblically based and ties everything back to scripture. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about the geography of the Middle East.

Beautiful
Review byHolli
I have never learned about this section of the world and was so excited to start this book with my 10-year-old. I read it aloud to him and he answers all the questions. We are both learning so much from this book and he really enjoys drawing the maps and gaining a sense of where everything is located. The pictures are beautiful and even my 5-year-old wants to see them and know what they are showing.
