    Good
    Review by C
    This is a good history. Learned a lot about the holy land! Kids and I enjoyed it
    Great course!
    Review by Anika
    I purchased this course for my kids and they learned a lot! The only thing I would improve on are the maps. We often had to refer to a Bible atlas because we could not find all the answers or locations on maps the book included.
    LOVED IT
    Review by Echo
    My kids really enjoyed this book.
    Excellent Book
    Review by Marcy
    While this book is written for an upper elementary age student, I really wanted to a Geography of the Holy Land class for my high schooler. I'm so glad I ordered this book! We have both learned so much and it is our favorite class this year. I've supplemented with historical fiction, videos (music, culture, and geography) and documentaries, and as the end of the year draws near, we're sad to be finishing up. We love that it's Biblically based and ties everything back to scripture. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about the geography of the Middle East.
    Beautiful
    Review by Holli
    I have never learned about this section of the world and was so excited to start this book with my 10-year-old. I read it aloud to him and he answers all the questions. We are both learning so much from this book and he really enjoys drawing the maps and gaining a sense of where everything is located. The pictures are beautiful and even my 5-year-old wants to see them and know what they are showing.
    We started this early
    Review by Carol
    We couldn't wait to start this class, so we did! WE are learning a lot and can't wait to try the receipes!
    Teachers/Parents will enjoy as much as their students!

Fun and engaging, simple and yet comprehensive this is an amazing curriculum that you and your children will love and enjoy.
    Just WOW!!!
    Review by Julie
    A Child's Geography Vol. 2: Explore the Holy Land is an absolutely beautiful curriculum. I was excitedly waiting for it to come out, but I couldn’t even imagine how wonderful it is, even better than I expected! It’s colorful, biblically sound, interactive, engaging, loaded with knowledge and fun activities for kids to solidify their learning. I personally didn’t know some of the things I learned there, and I’m happy for my kids to be able to learn it. I’d agree that it is for upper elementary age, but I’m sure even little ones can listen in and learn something from it. It’s a history with geography with Bible curriculum all in one. It talks about significant historical places of the Holy land. It is in the format of like a discussion with the child. Absolutely beautiful work! I highly recommended!

    The Holy Land
    Review by SarahT
    Designed for 5th-grade students and a three-day-a-week study, this resource gives great insight into the various places and lands of the three major religions of the world today.  Full-color photos, recipe ideas, and fun activities are found throughout the book!  Each chapter ends with an Adventure Challenge (short quiz to test student knowledge) that would easily be completed individually or as a verbal assessment.   Reference maps are included in the back of the book for additional student resources.  Additional resources include quizzes and tests and a final exam if desired. Very good family resource for studying the Holy Land!**This honest review was made after receiving the digital version of this resource for free. 
    Amazing Biblically Sound Geography Course
    Review by Becky
    As a big fan of Volume 1, Explore His Earth, I was so excited to see that Volume 2, Explore the Holy Land, had been updated. This series is phenomenal. My kids love Explore the Holy Land because it is written to them, for them, instead of at them.

    In this volume of A Child's Geography, you get to take a journey through the countries that make up the Holy Land, which includes Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. Also touched on, at an age-appropriate level, are the differences between Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, the major religions of this area.

    This book is set up to follow a 36 week schedule, 3 days a week, allowing you to study each country for 4-6 weeks. I really appreciate this length of time because I find that my kids remember more as we are able to dig deeper.

    Some stand-outs for me are as follows. The pictures included in the text are absolutely beautiful. The adventure challenges have great variety from lesson to lesson, so the worksheets never gets boring. I love that there is map work included. My kids love the travel logs at the end of each part, and their favorite thing to do are the tasty tours and trying out new foods. My favorite is the walk of prayer at the end of each country, it is such an amazing way to study geography.

    As one who does as much family learning as possible, I have found this to be flexible in adapting to different ages and levels of learning. This course is a great addition to any homeschool family! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a biblically sound geography course.
