“You now understand the heartbeat of TruthQuest History: the lively commentaries which introduce each and every topic in our eleven chronological guides (covering American, Ancient, and Western history). These commentaries help the students unforgettably connect the people, events, and culture of a civilization to its Big 2 Beliefs. Students then have colorful, continuous, and convincing proof of the reality of God and the superiority of His truths. Only after the deepest issues have been thusly addressed can the reading of engaging “living books” begin. A highly specific recommended-reading list after each topic highlights top living books, and also aids in locating readily available reading resources, while still helping students read with maximal spiritual context. Finally, ThinkWrite™ exercises help students internalize and express the deepest lessons of history. Together, this comprehensive resource carries families—with the siblings learning together—from the earliest grades through to graduation on a thorough, literature-based study of history and spiritual principle.”

Cons: So much, it takes more than a year to get through and you may disagree with the commentary. I loved it.
Grades Used: 5-8
I have been loosely following Truth Quest from 1865 to present. It has been eye-opening and taught me and my girls so much. The author outlines History from a God-glorifying perspective. It centers, sadly around man’s sinfulness in rejecting him and the resulting society. I really appreciate it.
