Category Description for Mystery Of History Vol. 2 Early Church And Middle Ages
Linda Hobar, the author of this world history series, states in this book, "I believe history is the story of God revealing Himself to mankind and that He did it most perfectly through the person of Jesus Christ... the "mystery" is the gospel of Jesus Christ." What a refreshing and different view from most world history curriculums! Those looking for a world history program that aligns the stories of mankind with the living story of God will truly appreciate this Bible-centered approach to world history. Picking up where Volume 1 leaves off, this volume begins with the Pentecost and the first followers of Jesus (including Paul) around 29 A.D and continues through the early church and into the Middle Ages, covering the years through about 1456 A.D. The format of this book is very similar to that of the first volume; however, there are some small differences. Firstly, there are fewer lessons (84 as opposed to 108), but these lessons are slightly longer, offering more information on a given topic. Lessons generally take the form of real-life biographies, sharing the stories of men and women who changed the world while simultaneously showing the relationship between God and the world during that period. The fascinating journey across the continents continues as students discover who lived when and the way God worked His plan throughout this period of history.
Purchase of the hardcover Student Text includes a digital access code to download the Companion Guide. This guide includes PDF files of all of the reproducible materials including pre-tests, quizzes, exercises, worksheets, activity instructions, tests, outline maps, resource lists, appendix pages and more. A printed Companion Guide is also available to purchase for those preferring a physical copy. Information to access the digital component is included on a separate card included in the textbook. Shrink wrapped.
The Audio CD Set allows you to listen to author Linda Lacour Hobar read the complete and unabridged text. Students can read along with the author as she narrates the stories or just sit back and listen. Please note the CDs contain the story lessons only and do not include pretests, activities, quizzes, and so forth. At some points in the narration, music has been added behind the author's voice, but non-musical versions are also available for download on the publisher's website. 12 CDs, running time 13 hours, 58 minutes. ~ Steph

Critical to teaching Mystery of History (either the pdf or print edition)
The Companion Guide is critical to getting the most out of the Mystery of History series. It includes great activities, worksheets, quizzes, and mapping exercises for multiple ages as well as helpful information regarding teaching the class and grading. The additional resources of books, video urls, movies, etc included in the appendices are a wonderful bonus to taking the class to a deeper level. I purchased the print edition because I do not have a nice enough printer to handle printing the pdf of the guide. It is a very large book! The author, Linda Hobar, invested a lot of time into making certain homeschool parents had a curriculum that could be convertible enough to be an overview for littles and a meaty class for honors and high school students. Very well done in my opinion. Our kids look forward to this class each day.
