Exploring World History Part I - Creation through the Middle Ages

by Ray Notgrass

Exploring World History is designed to be easy-to-use for parent and student. Each of the 30 weekly units has an introduction that features a summary of the material covered, a list of lessons, books required for that unit, and suggested writing assignments. Each of the 150 daily lessons (five lessons per week) includes the history text and the reading assignments for that day (and those in progress). A focused student can direct his own study, and the parent can offer as much interaction as needed. Depending on how fast your child reads and how much time he spends on the writing assignments, he may need an average of 2-3 hours for each daily lesson. Completing the full course provides your child with a year's high school credit in World History, English (literature and composition), and Bible.

I really like this book. I see that it has gotten an average of 3 stars. I think we often can be too critical of books of history. The reason why I give this one 4 stars is because while it is indeed a history book, it is written in way that is easy for a high school student to actually read. It also gives the reader a fly by of all of history, as giving a full history would simply be overwhelming and unachievable. The author is obviously a Christian, and therefore this book of history focused on man's relationship with God through the ages.

Mr. Notgrass was very biased in some of his views. The text was also not really at a high school level. All of my co-op classmates and my teacher agreed: it wasn't worth it. We're all slugging through our spring semester with the second half.

I think this is a great history book, but I just can't keep up reading it with my son. Hope to finish it some day.
