The Mystery of History
Volume II

Announcing our newest addition (edition) to 
The Mystery of History series! The second edition
of Volume II continues the story of God’s
working in history with lessons that cover 
the early church 
Learn More
that arose after the death of Christ
(AD 33) through the Middle Ages
and the invention of the printing press.
This classical curriculum is written from
a Christian, young-earth perspective, and
gives students insight into how the Gospel
of Jesus is the mystery behind all of history! 

Written in a conversational style, this curriculum is arranged by semester, quarters, weeks, and lessons; each quarter begins with an “Around the World” summary of events to introduce the time period; lessons progress chronologically, with each week having 3 lessons, a pretest, review, activities (including Memory Cards), and exercise or quiz. 

As with our other volumes, The Mystery of History Volume II, 2nd edition Student Reader is now  a beautiful, colorful, easy-to-hold hardback. Divided into 36 weeks, the reader is a standalone world history text for all ages to enjoy. But for those who wish to delve deeper, we have included a download code in each book for a digital version of The Mystery of History Volume II Companion Guide. The reproducible resources of the Companion Guide, also written by Linda Lacour Hobar, contain familiar and popular components of The Mystery of History series: pretests; hands-on activities and research projects for younger, middle, and older students; memory card ideas; bi-weekly quizzes and exercises; timeline helps; maps; supplemental book lists; and more.

“We love The Mystery of History. We used it in a traditional school setting in the past and now use it as part of our full-time home school curriculum. It is very thorough and easy to follow. You can do all of the suggested activities or only read and discuss each chapter. Either way your child will learn so much about history from a Christian point of view.”
