4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource., November 7, 2000

By	Carla Cooper (CA USA) - See all my reviews

This history text gives good data and fair inclusion of both a creationists and evolutionist theory of beginnings. The author treats the Bible as one reliable historical document to be included among all the rest. The reading is frequently dry. My older daughter consumed it, but my son has to be urged to get the reading done. This is a fine textbook.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent tool for the Christian Homeschool!, November 25, 1998

By	[e-mail] (New York,,USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Streams of Civilization: Earliest Times to the Discovery of the New World: Volume One (Hardcover)

We have used this history text with three students, for four years. The text is comprehensive and suitable for use over a two year period with many suggested projects and activities. In addition, it is a hardcover text at an extremely reasonable price. We especially appreciate the coverage of civilizations on all continents. It gives a much more balanced look at history and helps students gain an insightful appreciation of many cultures, not just the usual emphasis on Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Euro-american. Woven throughout is the application of biblical principles and notation of historically fulfilled biblical prophecy. I wish this text had been available when I was in junior or senior high school!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good History Text, January 21, 2006

By	Lori J. Leeke (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One of the few world history texts that combines a biblical worldview, creation science, and church history; it gives a solid overview of civilization. It has fair inclusion of both creationist and evolutionist theory of beginnings. The authors treat the Bible as one reliable historical document to be included among all the rest. This is an EXCELLENT introduction to western civilization, interesting, clear and full of opportunities for discussion. Major world cultures, religions, and their development are explained with the aid of maps, timelines, and graphics. This material provides information for classroom conversation which will in turn help the students to process, apply, and remember what they are reading. Compliment and enhance the students learning with biographies, films, picture books, and historical fiction novels.
