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!

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

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!

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.

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 :)
