New Old Testament and Middle East Resources

Did you know that Samson was born just 30 years after the Trojan War? Or that Malachi was prophesying in Israel at the same time Socrates was teaching in Greece?

Those are just some of the fascinating mental connections that you discover when you study Bible history alongside world history. Those are the relations that make history come alive!

Our new lesson plans, Joshua through Malachi and Ancient Greece, 2nd edition, will walk your whole family through a year of just such a study—reading and narrating, learning and making personal connections between the events of the Old Testament and the history of Ancient Greece. Add our exciting new geography notebook, Visits to the Middle East, and you have the makings for a wonderful year of learning ahead!

Visits to the Middle East

The second in our new series of geography notebooks, Visits to the Middle East is your guide to exploring that region of the world through maps and living books. It makes a great tie-in to the Joshua through Malachi study, because most of the events of the Old Testament occurred in the Middle East.

The Visits to . . . series collects short map drills, guided reading from two fascinating travelogues, leading narration and discussion questions, meaningful map studies, and lots of ideas for additional living books and activities in a handy spiral notebook for each student.
