- Two guides bound in one volume!
- The first portion covers ancient Egypt, but only briefly, because Egypt's culture was quite pagan and the lessons that can be drawn from its history are especially abstract because they are so protracted. However, the key historical periods and leaders are introduced, and the best (and safest) youth literature is recommended. The intersection of Egypt's history with Israel's is highlighted.
- Ancient Greece is covered in the second portion of this TruthQuest History guide in great depth because Greece offers students a prime example of the development and consequences of the humanist philosophy. Even their religion--the famed Greek mythology--was man-made. Greek achievements (in government, art, architecture, math, science, and philosophy) were stellar, but what has been their outcome and legacy? Your students will be able to fluently answer that question, for they will be meeting these achievers in the context of their beliefs and contrasting those with God's eternal truths.
- Ideally for Grades 5-12, but younger siblings can participate. Includes book recommendations for all ages, where available.
TruthQuest History is a deep and rich literature-based history study…but with a difference. You will not learn the story of mankind; you will learn the lovestory of mankind. You will not focus on the rise and fall of human civilizations; you will focus on the arrow-straight line of God's unchanging existence, power, love, truth, and plan for civilization. You will not simply 'meet the culture' or 'get the facts;' you will probe the truths of history so deeply that your students will be equipped to change their world! Why? Because mankind is not the prime force in the universe ...God is. He initiates; we respond. History, therefore, is not first about what people do. It is first about what God does and says, and secondly about what people believe and do in response. Softcover.
