Greenleaf Guide To Old Testament History (Kings & Prophets)

by Rob G. Shearer Editor

(From Amazon): This readings in this book take you through the history of Israel from Genesis to Nehemiah, chronologically. The Old Testament's history of Israel is divided into 180 Bible readings (approximately 1-2 chapters each). For each reading there is a series of questions to help you focus on the significant details. There are also background notes, and suggestions on how to cover the material and keep it interesting. The book is intended as a first history course for the early elementary grades, though many parents are using it with high school students. "The Old Testament is the perfect place to start teaching history since it truly starts at the beginning. Many of us shy away from such a study because of the difficulties we might encounter, but the Shearers have made it much easier with this guide." - Cathy Duffy One of Cathy Duffy's "Top 100 Picks for Homeschool Curriculum."
