Description
Subtitled, “The Renaissance, Reformation, and Growth of Nations," and written at an 8th-9th grade reading level, this volume's study begins with The War of the Roses (1455) and ends at 1707. This Reader (text) contains 84 history lessons, using a 28-week, three-lesson-per-week format.
Watch history unfold while you meet rulers, painters, sculptors, scientists, and philosophers. History is presented in small, digestible pieces as you learn about the Renaissance and Reformation in Europe, dynasties in India, native Australians, and the Tokugawa family in Japan. In addition to the text material, plentiful illustrative information (maps, charts, art reproductions, and lots of photos) is also included. Key historical people and events (with dates to memorize) include Christopher Columbus, Leonardo da Vinci, Martin Luther, Henry the VIII, Elizabeth I, William the Silent and the Dutch Revolt, William Shakespeare, Founding of Jamestown, Pilgrims at Plymouth, Louis the XIV, Sir Isaac Newton, and Peter the Great. This text includes the Protestant Reformation (the history, doctrinal and theological disagreements, and heroes from both the Catholic and Protestant groups) and the consequences of this movement. The author, while a Protestant, has made a concerted effort to portray both sides evenly, without attacking either side, but focusing on the historical value and for each family to consider. Included with the purchase of the Reader is an in-text, user-unique, online access code to download the course-required digital PDF Companion Guide. These files include teacher directions, study guides, pre-tests, quarterly worksheets, quizzes, exercises, worksheets, activity instructions (with photos), tests, outline maps, suggested resource lists, appendix pages and more. Utilizes NKJV references unless otherwise noted. 441 pgs, hc.

Worth it
We love the whole Myster of History series. The moment it arrived, my son browsed through it and he's excited to start studying. The way MOH was presented makes my son wants to know more.

Anti-Catholic Text
After reading through this book in an attempt to lesson plan for the school year, I was very displeased to be faced with a strong anti-Catholic textbook. The author used word choices and tone to suggest that the Catholic Church is dirty and sly in its dealings. Except for 4 instances, she consistently chooses negative examples of people from the Church instead of fairly presenting both issues. It is clear that she does not really understand Catholic teaching or the motivation of the saints in regards to their choices of suffering. She also includes too many references to the sexual lives of the people of history she chooses, especially the artists, which do not have any bearing on their impact on the history of the time. It seems that she is looking for stories with shock factor to interest her readers, but some of those "shocks" are not very historically accurate. There are a few very nice stories in the book that accurately reflect the history of the time, but even these are poorly intertwined with each other to show a true understanding of history as guided by Divine Providence.

Another Great Volume!
This is another great volume from MOH - a great way to learn history as a family, and works well for a wide age range (currently using with my 7th, 5th, and 2nd grader). We are enjoying the hardcover text and the color photos. While I wish the supplemental material was still part of the book, it does keep this text from being as bulky as past volumes.

Great all around books!
This is our 3rd year! We have enjoyed the first 2 years. Hoping this will be even better. I as a homeschool mom am learning so much right along with my kids! Well put together books. Projects, research, maps. It's all there.

Still committed to this series, but MUST supplement from Catholic sources because ignorance of the side of the Church is very much present here. I wrote to author and expressed my concerns. I am still buying 4th volume because of the good treatment of other history. Most any informed Catholic would be outraged at some presentation here.

3rd year of Mystery of History
This is our 3rd. Year of using Mystery of History. We have completed V1 and V2. The reason we have stuck with this series is bc we love reading the stories. History is much more fun and memorable when it is a story instead of a bunch of facts to remember. Instead of doing the suggested activities we have discussions about what we read. The new format is great! I love having all the text in a book with beautifully colored pictures.

Loving our MOH
We recently purchased the MOH V3 set mid year as I was unhappy with our current program. I have an older, middle and younger student using this curriculum. This meets everyone's needs and is more than adequate to satisfy requirements at all levels. We enjoy the full color text and how the information is laid out. It is easily everyone's favorite subject. I believe history as a subject can and should be enjoyable and engaging- this fits the bill for our family.
