    Review by Morgie
    I looooooove this history book. My kid is obsessed with the middle ages and even more with the Tudors family, I was glad to see it has a few chapters on that for her. The pictures are beautiful. I 100% recommend.
    Awesome!
    Review by Heather
    This is awesome!! What a great course. Our son started this last year towards the end of grade 7 (after he had finished a different curriculum history course) and this one was so packed full of interesting information and learning tidbits, it has really sparked his joy for history. It also shows Gods hand in it all - and what more could parents ask for! (And I read it in the evenings and while I printed it out because it is so interesting and presented so beautifully with all the colourful pictures!)
    Would Recommend!

    History is enjoyable
    Review by Nichole
    My daughter is about finished with this course set this year at her hybrid school and she has really enjoyed learning what this set covers. It’s easy for her to follow herself and complete the worksheets. She has learned a great deal and likes to give me summaries of some of her favorite tidbits she’s learned. We’re looking forward to level 3 next year.
    One of his favorites

    Review by Amanda
    My daughter enjoys it. Although we feel the need to add Map Trek with it to add some extra Geography. She’s enjoying History from a biblical worldview.
    Engaging
    Review by Tailored Homeschool
    Easy to use very engaging and enjoyable. Love the biblical aspect. My student has learned so much and we will continue using these
    Like it, for the most part.
    Review by Sharon
    This is an ok curriculum. I like the progression and the focus on God's role in history. It covers the subject matter in a way that is challenging without being overly burdensome.

    However, there is much I do not like. I don't love the text. Sometimes the author's meaning is unclear, and I have to look something up. Sometimes it is not a big deal, but sometimes it affects my son's ability to answer a question. I also think there needs to be more subtitles in the text to help students find the information they need to answer questions. Furthermore, sometimes the questions themselves are vague and therefore difficult to answer. I also wish there was more frequent cumulative review. The "reviews" are quarterly, so the students have way too much information to remember.

    So, for all I do not like, I liked it enough to purchase the third installment. I wanted to keep things consistent for next year, and while I don't love this, it gets the job done.
    History with a Christian worldview!
    Review by marilyn
    I love how the author teaches history with a Christian worldview! It's a little more traditional history book rather than strong living history which I prefer, but lots of good info in it..
