Photo Shown is Ebook print out in Color. Binder pages are in Black and White Ancient History: Adam to Messiah is a chronological history unit study designed for multi levels grades 4-12 (although many are using for all ages). It includes Bible, history, geography, literature, government, composition, agriculture, religion, science, economics, and more. The lessons are full and require minimum preparation. The first goal of this book is to inspire students to become “hearers and doers” of God's Word and to encourage them to search the Scriptures and apply them to everyday situations. The second goal is to teach students a love of learning that will last a lifetime. This collection of seven unit studies covers a time frame from Creation through the time of Christ in two unique ways: 1. This book’s focus is on Bible history, as opposed to most ancient-history studies (even many Christian-based texts), which concentrate on the pagans in ancient times, ignoring God's people. For example, in this book's Ancient Egypt Unit the focus is on Joseph, Moses, the Exodus, and God's people (rather than on the pyramids and gods of Egypt). Our Ancient Greece and Rome units focus on the Israelites fighting against idolatry under Greek and Roman rule (rather than on Greek mythology and Roman gods). We also include an in-depth unit study of Ancient Israel. 2. This book is much more than a basic history study: It is a thematic unit study. You will lead your student(s) chronologically on a fascinating journey through the Bible as they learn to study, write, research, Literature, Government, Composition, Agriculture, Religion, Science, Economics, and more. As your students study, they will have a number of valuable experiences. They will write essays, summaries, and editorials. They will have the opportunity to publish their work online. They will dramatize and teach others. These activities will develop their ability to think, which is an asset that will benefit them throughout their lives. Homeschoolers Rave About this Book! Magazine Reviews Heidi Shaw, The Old SchoolHouse Magazine "Bible First! Yes, even with history! I love this program for many reasons but this is #1. I think I may be like some home school moms who want to integrate Bible with our daily lessons, but somehow it keeps getting squeezed out by the world’s definition of the ‘necessary’. Robin Sampson has refocused my vision and made me see how truly possible it is to incorporate and make a priority of studying the Bible along with our other subjects...Every time I open this binder I get excited. The potential and the possibilities for learning just jump out at me every time. For those who love classical education, or Charlotte Mason advocates, any of the units in this binder would supply you with ample materials for a good long while..." . click to see full review Eclectic Homeschool Online Masterfully authored by Robin Samson, Ancient History: Adam to Messiah offers 787 pages of the most exciting, challenging, real life, Biblical learning adventures divided into 7 unit studies that are sure to transport both teacher and student back to when time began!...Using The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach and the Internet you can open the minds, and more importantly the hearts, of your 4th - 12th grade students to God's Word as never before. While covering a time frame from Creation through the time of Christ, they will learn how to study, write, research, and reason through a wide variety of subjects such as Bible, world history, geography, literature, government, composition, agriculture, religion, science, economics, and art history. click to see full review Mary Pride, Practical Homeschooling Magazine "This is not your ordinary history text. Your child will walk away from these unit studies with a Biblical view of history from creation to Christ...".click to see full review Cathy Duffy, Christian Homeschool Manual At 787-pages, this single volume is loaded with information...I applaud Robin’s courage in creating a curriculum that challenges popular wisdom about what students should learn. She also offers plenty of suggestions—more than you can use in a single year—for resources and activities so you can tailor the study as you please and meet the needs of each of your children..." click to see full review TheHomeschoolMom.com "With the current interest in classical studies and their chronological history studies, many Christian homeschoolers are wondering to what degree studying the cultures of the ancient world should be included in their curricula. Concerned about the pagan worldview upon which the Greeks and Romans based their beliefs and practices, homeschoolers are torn between academic excellence and honoring God's command to have nothing to do with paganism... Heart of Wisdom units present history from a biblical worldview based on bible narratives with corresponding global events...Robin Sampson has created an excellent curriculum. The introductory information explaining how to use the book is concise and easy to understand, and the layout of the book is consistent and well-organized. Ancient History: Adam to Messiah is a refreshing unit study curriculum that will delight anyone interested in history unit studies with a biblical worldview..." click to see full review About.com The reason I like this Ancient History study is because it covers a time frame from creation through the ministry of Jesus and includes a study of ancient Israel. I like the mixture of using print resources with resources available on the internet. I am looking forward to seeing the remaining units as they are completed...We have already begun our study of the world using this curriculum and the suggested resources. It is easy to use and well laid out. click to see full review                   (See full user reviews at the bottom of this page) "Your work is brilliant!!! I have researched your work for the past few months. I like to use the Charlotte Mason method and find your curriculum MOST informative... " "We have studied ancient history, but never like this before... We have studied Egypt, The Greeks, etc but I was always left wondering where God's people were at and what they were doing during this time period...Now it's like we are studying with new eyes..." "She [our daughter] spends hours a day on her assignments. She has learned so much about God and his word and His world..." "...You have done a fantastic job creating a God centered history curriculum.." "The books Robin has written and the resources that are shared within HOW are phenomenal.." "I was drawn to these studies because of the focus on the Bible. But quite honestly, what is keeping me is the quality of content and the ease in lesson preparation!!" "I have found that using H.O.W. has developed in my daughter a love of the bible and has made a great change in her I knew I would love the material because of my life-changing experiences with the other books by Robin. I love going deeper with my girls in the Word...I feel a real sense of purpose, vision & accomplishment." "...My children and I LOVE it. I have never seen anything quite like it. It is so wonderful to be able to use something where the children (and myself!) not only research historical events, but discover scriptural truth and evidence in them also. It is so fascinating!

Very good Good Fair Poor   Customer Reviews Author: Anonymous I am using the Ancient History: Adam to Messiah bound book and I thoroughly enjoy it! My children like being able to choose their own activities and they can be as simple or complex as I need them to be according to the ages of my children. Thanks... Author: Melissa in Texas We have studied ancient history, but never like this before...We have studied Egypt, the Greeks, etc., but I was always left wondering where God's people were and what they were doing during this time period...Now it's like we are studying with new eyes. Author: Anonymous I L-O-V-E it. I am praising God for this marvelous curriculum! I am thanking Him for your steadfastness and dedication! This is just what I have been looking for, and I am thrilled to have it available to us!! Author: Nancy The lessons are well-written and offer many resources, both books and Internet, so there's no trouble finding information for research. The web site gives lots of ideas...as well as tons of good info on educational philosophy, which I love reading... Author: Anonymous I knew we'd made the best decision when, after reading one of the "Excite" sections, my 6th grade daughter declared, "I just love how this is written! It's easy to follow and understand and really catches my interest!" Author: Anonymous I have just begun to Adam to Messiah. I LIKE it A LOT! I searched for a year to a year and a half for a Hebraic homeschooling method. The Lord definitely led us to you and we are thankful and excited! Author: Susan Chipma Your work is brilliant!!! I have researched your work for the past few months. I like to use the Charlotte Mason method and find your curriculum MOST informative...the best layout plan for the most important subject, the BIBLE... Author: Laura My children and I LOVE it. I have never seen anything quite like it...so wonderful to be able to use something where the children (and I, myself!) not only research historical events, but discover scriptural truth and evidence in them also...so fascinating... Author: quitalamae@aol.com My daughter (10th grade) never thought she would like unit studies.I convinced her to give HOW a shot and now she is begging for more. She spends hours a day on her assignments. She has learned so much about God and his word and His world. Thanks... Author: Anonymous This is blessing me as much as it is blessing my children! Author: davidcap@maine.rr.com ...great overall experience. You have done a fantastic job creating a God-centered history curriculum. My kids are never very excited to study history, but when we start to get into it, they all seem to really take an interest and have learned so much... Author: Dawn Sempek titus2quiver@earthlink.net ..more wonderful than anything we have used; it not only brings the children all together, rather than learning different things in different curriculums, but it brings the WHOLE family together. My husband and I learn right along with them! Thank you! Author: plummers@dca.net I L-O-V-E it. I am praising God for this marvelous curriculum! I am thanking Him for your steadfastness and dedication! Thank you to you, too! This is just what I have been looking for, and I am thrilled to have it available to us!! There is no labor that isn't a thousand times more than planned - I just *know* that you will be reaping HUGE blessings from your labors with HOW for a l-o-n-g time to come. On the days that it really gets too much - PLEASE remember what a HUGE blessing you are giving many sincere Moms who are VERRRRRRRRRRRRRY grateful and thanking God for your work! Author: Sarah Demarest Our children are 7, 8 and 9, and their 4th step includes writing assignments, penmanship, dictation, map work, drawing, coloring, study of additional resources, and the occasional project, such as a diorama, salt dough map, or role play. THANK YOU... Author: Anonymous I would like to compliment the person or people who put all of these sources and all of this information together. It is awesome, and an answer to my prayer. Author: Anonymous What I appreciate best is that HOW gives me a game plan for teaching what I want to teach my children. It gives to me what I don't have time to research and plan by myself... Author: Anonymous I was drawn to these studies because of the focus on the Bible...but quite honestly, what is keeping me is the quality of content and the ease in lesson prepartation!! I plan on staying with these studies as they come out... Author: Anonymous I really appreciate the internet links and reference lists. It is a big help, and reduces the time needed to prepare lessons. We also appreciate the reference to Bible verses in each unit. We are really enjoying our Ancient History: Adam to Messiah. Author: Anonymous I have found that using HOW has developed in my daughter a love of the Bible and has made a great change in her character development....and there are so many things that catch her interest...gives us a sense of focus... Author: Anonymous We have enjoyed using your unit studies... My children are learning, but I do not think they realize how much. I enjoy starting with the Bible and making it the central theme. I know that this is the path that the Lord would have for my family... Author: Janie - janiegib@hotmail.com I used Sonlight as a beginning homeschooler and appreciated the layout of timing & material usage (& the wonderful books), however; the H.O.W. focus point reaches for a greater depth in the study of and relationship with God that is precious to my soul and to the heart and focus of my family. THIS (H.O.W.)is the way the Creator of my family has beckoned my heart to rear these children I'm blessed to have. Thank you, Robin, for obeying the Creator in your responsibility with H.O.W. so that I, in turn, can obey Him in my responsibility with my children. This curriculum achieves the high hope my heart held for our homeschooling experience and my personal experience as a mother and an ever-learning believer. Importantly, too, lessons are already planned out for easy preparation. What a joy I count it all! Author: Anonymous Excellent array of resources, enough so that I don't have to do too much work in watering the material down for my pre-K, K, and 1st graders. Author: Lglavic@aol.com I love Heart of Wisdom. I am so grateful to the Lord for bringing this program to my attention. Your web site has also prodded me toward learning about Hebrew roots and Biblical Holidays. I feel like I'm entering a whole new world in my relationship to the Lord. I am using HOW as the history program for my 11 year old and we are learning so much together. My high school son is using HOW for his Bible curriculum. It will take my younger son 2 or 3 years to complete and my older son only has 1 year left of school so he will finish it in one year. I am so excited to be putting this material into both boys hearts so that they can have God's wisdom and make wise decisions for their life. Thank you so much for this program! It is making a big difference in our lives. Author: samac5@earthlink.net The books Robin has written and the resources that are shared within HOW are phenomenal. HOW has paved the way to many an enlightened discussion in our Bible studies and around our lunch and dinner tables. Thank you for such enrichment... Author: K_Lehmann@Juno.com I love the Hebraic focus. HOW Ancient History is very complete, easy to use...and we love the Hebrew vocabulary lessons. We already had a few of the resources...Thank you for excellent resources!! Author: Dee, dandptuck@ao.com I am overjoyed to find Hebrew definitions and meanings included in the lesson studies. I know that God intends for my family to apply His Word in every part of our lives. Never was there an intention that we separate education and spirituality... Author: Farmville, Virginia ...excellent book. The studies on the ancients are tremendous, like nothing we have ever done before. I had used other units to try and study this time period and was not impressed, but this one fits the bill... Author: continued I love studying about the related materials and NOT about the false gods of the time periods. Using the Bible as a literature text sure hooked me on this too. It is easy to use and not at all rigid. We are loving it and this is a rare treat and blessing .. Author: qooqoomom from Longmont, CO I love this book as a resource for ancient history. It is well set up, easy to use---even for multiple ages---and full of insights into the time periods. Author: Homeschool Family since 1991 This is a great curriculum! We have been putting together our own Bible-based unit studies for years. This year, due to health problems and less time, we would have to purchase something already laid out. I thought I would have to settle for a lesser curriculum. To our relief this curriculum meets and perhaps exceeds our high standards by the many internet links, books lists and more. I have easily adapted it to include our younger students too! Thanks. Author: Unknown HOW is the best curriculum I have ever seen and/or used in the secular or Christian homeschool market- bar none! Nothing compares to it at all!! According to the kids- and me! However, it is tied in popularity- according to our children, not just me-with one other Hebrew based curriculum that had activities more to their liking (not so much writing all the time, every lesson, but more visual things ready made, to aid them), but it does not use internet links, which we LOVE. So we blend both curriculums together when possible. Thus we will continue to use HOW. It is extremely comprehensive in it's coverage of a subject. Nothing is left out. Plus- you don't have to buy any key resource books if you cannot afford it. You can use the internet links and still cover everything in detail! So it is quite economical for families with small budgets. THAT is liberating in itself! We loved all the internet links. There was no way you could NOT learn, or miss something with the abundance of links for each e-book. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for the truth in history/ science told in a non-threatening way. Not doctrinal teachings, but the actual truth, no matter where that leads for your children and you. And what could be more Biblical than that? The Bible incorporated into daily FIRST readings, as the primary curriculum, was the best thing we have ever done for our children. The perfect way to start a day, instead of trying to fit it in as a small subject. IT IS the subject, then all else falls in around it. And as Robin said once, if you get nothing else done that day, at least the most important thing has been finished. THAT is what we want for our children. The firmest foundation possible. Author: Unknown Author: davidcap@maine.rr.com ...great overall experience. You have done a fantastic job creating a God centered history curriculumn.
