Finally! A richly illustrated history encyclopedia that affirms your Christian Creationist beliefs instead of contradicting them. Author Nancy I. Sanders looks at history with a Biblical worldview, using the Bible as the trusted authority on history.

Scripture-affirming History Reference
Review by Krista
I absolutely love the way this World History Encyclopedia is written! Its’s clear, engaging, and visually appealing. The full-color illustrations, maps, and timelines make history come alive for my kids. This is a resource I’ve been searching for for a long time! It presents history from a Biblical worldview, consistently refuting other worldviews and pointing students to God’s truth. My children enjoy reading through it on their own, often coming back with questions and new things they’ve learned. I highly recommend it for any homeschool family looking for a solid, scripture-affirming history reference that both teaches and inspires curiosity.
Awesome book!
Review by Michelle
What an amazing resource! I'm absolutely thrilled with the quality of this book. I have been looking for ages for a history book that includes bible history in world history and reflects our worldview. This one checks all the boxes for us. It doesn't merely skim over commonly held beliefs it actually addresses it biblically which is fantastic if you have curious kids. The colourful layout truly makes history come alive. I think every homeschool family needs a copy!
FANTASTIC Encyclopedia
Review by LaceeC
Taking us from Creation through the Roman Empire, this encyclopedia has attention grabbing pictures and illustrations, along with a fantastic timeline, easy to understand sections, and comparisons between Christian beliefs and world beliefs. I love that there are both scientific explanations as well as Biblical throughout. This encyclopedia is formatted extremely well as it leads us through the timeline. I think this book will be asset to students studying World History as well as anyone wanting to learn more! I cannot wait to add this to my bookshelves in print.
Helpful resource!
Review by SB
World History Encyclopedia Vol.1 is a helpful resource that is fun to read! This volume covers the time period of Creation to the Roman Empire. The pages are full of colorful pictures and helpful charts, diagrams, and timelines. The encyclopedia is arranged chronologically and each two page spread contains a heading at the top as well as the years covered by the events on the pages. This is a helpful tool. This encyclopedia would be a great resource to use along with Bible study or as a resource when studying ancient history. Younger children would enjoy this encyclopedia because of the many colorful pictures but it would be more useful and understood by those in middle school or older. This volume would pair nicely with World’s Story 1 curriculum.
