That's a lot of history!
These audio CD's would be a great addition to every homeschool. They are creation based and begin the study of history with creation. Diana Waring tells HIStory in a story like manner that feels as if she was sitting in the room with you. She is VERY enthusiastic about her work and brings history to life for the listener. What in the World? audio CD's can be used in a variety of ways. They are fun and interesting to listen to and would be great for long car trips or homeschooling on the road or for those times in your life when getting any school done seems to be impossible. You could use them to give your children a general overview of history. They could also be used alongside any history curriculum that you are using and some of the lessons would even go along with some Bible lessons.
