Mystery of History
"Created as a guide through the annals of time, The Mystery of History will lead all ages clearly through the labyrinth that many find this subject to be. Up until now, most world history and bible history have been separated. Linda Hobar has taken the initiative to tell the whole story in a way that few have before. With a classical approach, she weaves the story line together of both world and Bible history in Volume I. Subsequent volumes continue to weave the message of the Gospel through the ages. "

Peace Hill Press This is where you get the widely acclaimed Story of the World series of books. We have used every level of Story of the World and highly recommend them! Main products: history, language arts, classical education

Social Studies School Service When I first received one of their catalogs, I was impressed with the amount of social studies materials available. You will get all sorts of good ideas for teaching history, geography, etc. I especially appreciate the higher level materials available (high school, AP exam, etc.) as these are less commonly found in exclusively "homeschool" catalogs. Main products: history, geography, economics
