"Now to Him, who is able to establish you according to my gospel in the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandments of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith-to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen." (Romans 16:25-27)

  • "One of my favorite activities was about the early crusaders. My brothers and sister and I walked one and a half miles with 20lbs in our backpacks and no shoes on our feet. I learned that the crusaders walked really far and it must of hurt when they walked on gravel."

  • "I can't thank you enough for making history so "alive" and exciting for us this year. I am loving seeing all the dots connect. Our girls are in 1st and 3rd. We could do The Mystery of History all day...if we didn't have other things to do like math and homework."

    Homeschool Mom
  • "The Mystery of History has been my absolute favorite part of homeschooling my 3 daughters. History was just a bunch of dry facts, dates, and dead guys but Linda has written her books in such a beautifully captivating way that it's my favorite subject now, and my girls have enjoyed it."
