This review is from: Romans, Reformers, Revolutionaries: Resurrection to Revolution AD 30-AD 1799 (History Revealed) (Hardcover)

Some years back, while preparing to teach World History for the first time in a co-op setting, I scoured bookstores and libraries to find the best-of-the-best history resources. That's when I discovered Diana Waring.

Her curriculum is designed to be used for multi-level teaching. We used Romans, Reformers, Revolutionaries as the core curriculum for our classical track with great success. I particularly appreciate her ability to present a biblical worldview as she introduces events and biographies.

Diana combines substantial gifts in researching, synthesizing, writing, and dramatizing to deliver one of the most fascinating and powerful history curriculums available today. (We never learned this "stuff" when we went to school!)

As a speaker, both in person and on CD, she is captivating.

I fully agree with the reviewer who said that she never wanted to turn off Diana's audio lessons. Even my elementary-aged students fully engaged with her teaching.

That said, for the novice history student who expects to understand and retain every lesson, her writing can be a bit dense-packed and overwhelming. But those who adjust their expectations--and approach her material fully recognizing that learning comes in layers--will find themselves gleaning new insights each time they read and re-read her chapters.

Now, after several years of intensive history and philosophy study, I still find Diana's work to be informative, reliable, and delightful. She is a treasure!
