Children
shouldn't just read about history, they
should live it. In The Story of
Civilization, the ancient stories that
have shaped humanity come alive like never
before. Author Phillip Campbell uses his
historical expertise and story-telling
ability together in tandem to present the
content in a fresh and thrilling way.
The Story of Civilization reflects a
new emphasis in presenting the history of
the world as a thrilling and compelling
narrative. Within each chapter, children
will encounter short stories that place them
directly in the shoes of historical figures,
both famous and ordinary, as they live
through legendary battles and invasions,
philosophical debates, the construction of
architectural wonders, the discovery of new
inventions and sciences, and the exploration
of the world.
Text Book
Volume 3, The
Making of the Modern World
continues the journey, offering 35
chapters covering the time period from
the Renaissance to our own times. It
begins with the history-changing
events of the Reformation and the
fracturing of the Church that
dramatically altered the course of
modern Europe and the world at large.
But during this tumultuous time, God
gave us some of the greatest saints.
Children will meet great figures like
Sts. Pius V, Thomas More, John
Vianney, and Margaret Mary Alacoque.
They will also meet powerful political
leaders like Napoleon and Kings Henry
VIII of England and Louis XIV of
France. This volume brings us through
present-day Europe, showing us the
affects of two world wars and how the
Church responded to these changing
times.
The strength of the content lies not
only in the storybook delivery of it,
but also in the way it presents
history through the faithful prism of
the Church. Have you always wanted
your children to learn about world
history from a Catholic perspective?
Here, you’ll have the trusted resource
you’ve always wanted.
