This curriculum provides a historically accurate, Bible-centered approach to learning ancient history. The completely chronological lessons shed new light on who walked the earth when, as well as on where important Bible figures fit into secular history.

In The Mystery of History Second Edition, the message and theme of the book remain the same and the well-loved, user friendly format has not been changed (one paperback book contains everything for student and teacher alike). But, with over 140 new pages, Linda Hobar has enriched the lessons; broadened the scholarship level of the text; developed new activities; enhanced the mapping exercises; and simplified the timeline directions. While not changing the Table of Contents, the author has improved it with better chronological detail, based on the work of James Ussher. The Second Edition also features a cleaner, more-readable layout, with upgraded artistry, photos, font, and cover; an expanded reading list; Answer Key maps for all the mapping exercises; a pronunciation guide; a Bible reading list; and much more. Now, as before, The Mystery of History Volume I, can be an inspirational journey blending Bible history and world history into one fascinating and beautiful mosaic.

  MOH, It Is A Winner
Julie of Vancouver, WA, 1/29/2011
Written from a Christian perspective Mystery of History is a fantastic overview of world history. One of the many appeals of this curriculum is it is very easy to use with multiple ages, details for the older ones, but written so the younger ones can follow along as well. Hobar includes some great stories and fun facts that kids are sure to remember even years later. Another great aspect of MOH is that it follows the Old Testament so well that one could almost use it as a Bible curricula. When finished students will have an excellent perspective of Biblical history in chronological order. When I used the first edition with my kids and we enjoyed her simple, economical timeline made with a sewing board and some index cards. The only criticism I would have of this edition is the project ideas can be lacking at times, perhaps this has improved with the latest version.
