The Mystery of History Volume III
Student Reader - The Renaissance, Reformation, and Growth of Nations
The Mystery of History Volume III Student Reader continues the spectacular and provocative study of world history from the viewpoint of a Christian author. Spanning the Renaissance, Reformation, Exploration, and some early American history, this volume explores the backdrop to and the significance surrounding the time-honored contributions found in art, music, literature, science, and philosophy of this rich era.
Unlike Volumes I and II, Volume III has been separated by the publishers into two beautiful books! The Student Reader now contains 84 stirring lessons written by Linda Lacour Hobar in a colorful, easy to hold hardback. The reader is a stand alone world history text for all ages to enjoy.
But for those who wish to delve deeper, you will want to consider The Mystery of History (Volume III) Companion Guide: Curriculum and Student Activities. This black and white paperback guide book, written also by Linda Lacour Hobar, will contain these familiar and popular components of The Mystery of History series: Pretests; Hands-on/Research Activities for Younger, Middle, and Older Students; Memory Card ideas; bi-weekly quizzes and exercises; timeline helps; maps; supplemental book lists; and more. (Though it is recommended that Volumes I and II be studied prior to this volume, it is not necessary. Volume III can stand alone as a full course of Renaissance/Reformation history.)
Price of Student Reader: $ 59.95
The Mystery of History Volume III

Pretests; Hands-on/Research Activities for Younger, Middle, and Older Students; Memory Card ideas; bi-weekly quizzes and exercises; timeline helps; maps; supplemental book lists; and more. Three-hole drilled, perforated, paperback - 520 pages. Available also on CD-Rom. See details below.

The Mystery of History Volume III
Companion Guide: Curriculum and Student Activities on CD-Rom
What? There’s more? Yes, the Companion Guide: Curriculum and Student Activities is also available for less on CD-Rom. Why? The publishers of this curriculum seek to make The Mystery of History as user-friendly and affordable as possible. Therefore, the Companion Guide is available to you in two different formats, paperback and CD-Rom. Each contains the same material. Each has its advantages. Some people will prefer the more tangible product, like the paperback, that you can highlight, mark up, and clutter with Post-its. Others of you will prefer dropping a CD into your home or school computer for easy printing and duplication of maps, quizzes, and more. (Some of you will want both!)
The Mystery of History Volume III The Renaissance, Reformation, and Growth of Nations Audio Book
Since the 2008 publication of The Mystery of History, Volume III, students of all ages have enjoyed the fascinating time period of “The Renaissance, Reformation, and Growth of Nations” from the Wars of the Roses (1455) to Isaac Watts (1707).
Now, you can listen to these timeless stories of Quarter I through the voice of the author. (Other quarters are in production.) With text in hand, you can read along with Linda Hobar as if she is sitting right next to you. Without the text, you can sit back and listen to the stories. With hands free, Younger Students can draw or color as they learn while Older Students can take notes for further discussion. In co-op or Sunday school, in the car or at bedtime - there are endless ways for all ages to benefit from this listening library of world history.
Please note: As of January 2011, Quarter I is only available without music in an MP3 format. Other quarters will be released throughout the year, as they are available. To complete your Mystery of History listening library, CDs with music (and MP3s with music) will be created by the 2012 school year.
