A fascinating geography/history book on the Holy Land
Review by
Kathleen C
What an amazing resource this book is. Students will learn the differences between Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. They will learn how man has taken God’s truth and altered it in the religions of Islam and Judaism to reject the truth of Jesus in the New Testament as Savior.
This is so much more than a geography book. It ties in so much history to really help you understand why the Holy Land is the way that it is today.
The pictures are wonderful. They are vibrant and plentiful. I loved seeing all the people and places, it made me feel like I was there.
Geography terms are explained and pictured throughout.
There is a schedule for using this course 3 days a week for 36 weeks.
Each chapter includes maps, photos, a variety of activities, recipes, a travel log, and a chapter review.
While this book is suggested for a student in the 5th grade, I learned a lot as well. I highly recommend this book.

Great Course!
Review by
Sydney
My 7th grader really enjoyed this course! This was our first introduction to "A Child's Geography" series. It paired well with World's Story 1 and helped give him even more detail and understanding of the area he was learning about. He's excited to do more in this series!

Excellent
Review by
Mrs. Kelly
This textbook was so interesting. We all learned an awful lot about the geographic area covered. These books are really a geography history mix with science thrown in. It is a lot of reading so we often use a text to talk reader to help us get it covered as both my kids are very auditory learners.

A Child's Geography The Holy Land
Review by
E.P
We love, love, love this book and plan to continue the series. Because of a interest in the Holy land we decided to skip book one and go directly to book 2 to try it out. The book is beautifully done. Plenty of full color photographs, take an adventure through the text, and complete your journey with recipes, art and more with this experience. We will go back and get book 1 and continue with the rest of the series.

I used this with my daughter when she was in 4th Grade. She loved the colorful photos that brought what we were reading together to life! The text was very thorough and truly explained the culture of the different regions. Would like to see more simple and easy to grade assignments with each section of reading. Overall- we loved it!

My daughter’s favorite part has been the recipes from around the world. I’ve enjoyed that it really goes hand and hand with World Story as are doing that right now as well, so she is learning about the countries while learning their history.

Amazing geography course!
Review by
KD
My son and I both love it, a real engaging way to learn geography. I would like to suggest maybe adding in missionaries or church history for each country. How the gospel spread in each place.
