Newly Released 2nd Edition - More for Your Money
This newly released 2nd edition of The Mystery of History Volume 1 includes 144 pages of new material. While maintaining the same theme and format as the 1st edition, this new edition has improved lessons, more activities and teacher support, and improved layout, art and photos, simplified timelines, and more.

All you need to teach Ancient Civilizations through the time of Christ
Written by home-school mom Linda Hobar, The Mystery of History is one spectacular masterpiece. It is all your family will need to teach from ancient civilizations through to the time of Christ. Written in a conversational style for the fourth through eighth grade reader, The Mystery of History can also be used as a read-aloud with younger children.

Multi-age Activities
Not just a textbook, it is brimming with multi-age activities, book and video lists, memory helps, and timeline suggestions. What appeals to us most about this program is its worldwide approach to history.

Teaches History from Creation to Resurrection
Did you know that less than ten years after Jonah's trial in a fish, Rome was being established? Or that the last book of the Old Testament was written at about the time of Alexander the Great and that the Great Wall of China was built 200 years before the birth of Christ?

Combines Biblical & Secular History
As they read the Bible, Christians tend to forget that there were other civilizations warring, struggling, and searching for truth. So this history program is written with both Biblical and secular history combined. While decidedly Christian in bent, other cultures and faiths are presented with deference.

108 Lessons
The Mystery of History was designed with a 36-week school year in mind. Each week includes a pre-test, three lessons, a review, and an exercise or quiz. If your family is ready to study history in an in-depth, Bible-centered, chronological fashion, The Mystery of History is for you.

Another outstanding component in the Timberdoodle Core Curriculum Series!

    Well laid out, interesting to read February 24, 2010
    Reviewer: Samantha  
    We are in our first year of homeschooling. We tried another History curriculum, and hated it. We heard many good things about MOH and decided to give it a try. We love it! Very well laid out, interesting to read. The kids love it as much as I do. The only thing I don't like about this is a few mentions (so far) of a religious view we do not take. The author believes in a sinners prayer, and as I read the Bible I find no such plan of salvation. Although the author does not seem to embrace baptism, I would much rather have a curriculum that has a Godly view than a secular one. Excellent product!

    It's incredibly flexible. August 24, 2009
    Reviewer: Lynn F. from Ortonville, MI  
    You can use it as a springboard for older students, as is. I've used it for help with writing and studying skills--picking out important facts, writing a summary as well as imprinting an overall history timeline with my kids. It works with all types of learners as well with their variety of tasks to complete

    We have thoroughly enjoyed this series! June 24, 2009
    Reviewer: Cyndy B. from Rocky Mount, NC  

    The Mystery of History series is the best history program we have used. Linda teaches history in from a Christian perspective. The chronological format she uses of teaching "His Story" is great for establishing a timeline in our childrens' minds. I love the classical nature of the lessons as well. As a family, we have thoroughly enjoyed this series. We are now on Volume 3!

    I would recommend to all homeschool families!! October 27, 2008
    Reviewer: Mary A. from Florence, AL  
    The Mystery of History series has made teaching history in our homeschool very simple. The material including quizzes, exercises and semester tests is all in one book (NOTE: This is true in Volumes 1 and 2, Volume 3 is divided into two books, the Reader and the Activity). There are great activities for younger, middle and older students. I can pick which ones fit my child's needs and interests at the time. The bibliography includes films as well as books. This makes it easy for me to go to the library to find the movies mentioned. Christ is the focus of the text and many events in Christian history are covered but other cultures who did not have Christianity at the time are covered also. I would recommend all volumes of Mystery of History to all homeschool families.

    I, personally, want to read it :) October 20, 2008
    Reviewer: Linda F. from Deary, Idaho  
    We absolutely loved the Mystery of History Series.  It is a wonderful way to put world history alongside biblical history and see how they fit together.  The first book had more lesson weeks than we have weeks of school, but we liked the bit shorter lesson lengths in that book.  Both books are great for teaching several grades together.  It has age appropriate assignments for various levels.  Our daughter graduated in May 2008, but I still bought Mystery of History III!!  I, personally, want to read it :)
