"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."
Product Description
This book outlines a program which will take you through the history of Israel by reading through the historical books, Genesis to Nehemiah, chronologically. Old Testament history is divided into 196 Bible readings (approximately 1 chapter each), along with some suggestions on how to cover the material and keep it interesting. For each reading there is a series of questions to help you focus on the significant details. There are also a number of background notes, and some suggestions for further study. This book will not answer all your questions, but it will give you a well-thought-out program of reading and studying the ancient history of Israel. This is intended as a first history course for the early elementary grades, though many parents are using it with high school students. Suggestions are given for supplemental materials for varying grade levels.
Reader Reviews
My 8 year old son and I read through the Old Testament's historical books using this book as our guide to discussion topics. The Shearer's have presented some interesting questions and comments on the Old Testament scriptures and I found myself learning almost as much as my son did! I would recommend this book for parents with children in elementary school, or even older.
