Product Description

Study the Bible, geography, and history together as a family!

The sixth in our popular six-book history series, this study walks your family through people and events from Modern Times (about 1850–2012), covering both American History and World History. The geography of Asia is incorporated, and Family Bible lessons focus on truths from New Testament epistles (1 & 2 Peter; 1, 2, & 3 John; Jude) as well as the book of Revelation. Additional assignments are provided for older students to dig deeper into those same Bible passages.

The Charlotte Mason-style lesson plans

  • Engage your students’ hearts and minds through wonderful living books.
  • Help your students listen attentively and recall what was read by narrating.
  • Let you teach the whole family together by sharing some books as family read-alouds, then challenging older students with additional reading and writing assignments from other books on the same topic.
  • Connect geography to the people who lived there—both past and present.
  • Help all your students, grades 1–12, feel at home in Scripture and challenged to keep growing spiritually through short, practical Bible lessons for the whole family and additional corresponding Bible studies for the older students.
  • Keep things simple by providing helpful reminders of upcoming resources, teaching tips, and Book of Centuries entries.

(The other half of the American History credit can be found in the Early Modern study.)

Note: We recommend that grades 10–12 students add an American Government course either during this Modern Times study or spread over two years, during Early Modern and Modern Times studies. One possibility might be Exploring Government from Notgrass Publishing, taken at a slower pace.

We also recommend that grades 9–12 students read about and discuss current events. Selected articles from World magazine or website work well.

4 reviews for Modern Times & Epistles, Revelation

  1. Beth –

    Are the printed handbooks bound so that they lay flat when opened? It does not look like they are spiral bound from the picture. Thanks!

    • Jordan Smith –

      The handbooks are not spiral-bound, so they don’t lay flat when opened.

  2. Rebecca K –

    Is it really important to follow the plan to do the epistles Bible study first? or would it be ok to do Revelation first? We are studying Revelation in church, so i’d like to do it first if possible. or is it intermingled…

    • Sonya Shafer –

      The Revelation study is a stand-alone study and can be used any time.

      • Rebecca K –

        I know- i just wonder if it would mess with the flow of the program to do the Bible studies in reverse..

        • Sonya Shafer –

          The main reason for the order in which the epistles are studied is chronological; they are studied in the order in which they were written, for the most part. I’m a big believer in uniting church and home study when you have the opportunity, so my leaning would be to do a little rearranging. 🙂

  3. Jenn –

    Is the Visits to North America supposed to be used with this handbook? It looks like other resources are recommended for Geography. Is that because this handbook was written before the Visits To series came out?

    • Jordan Smith –

      The Modern Times lesson plans use a different geography study because the Visits to… hadn’t been created when we published the book. You can feel free to substitute Visits to North America by doing one lesson from Visits each week of the Modern Times study, instead of the scheduled geography resources.

  4. Rebekah Howell –

    Under the book list for this, the Bible materials used to be listed but now with the undated versions I don’t see them on the book list. I still need to order them separately, correct? Would that include the GOAL journal as well as the Epistles and Revelation book?

    • Jordan Smith –

      The new 2nd edition includes the Family Bible lessons right in the lesson plans, so there’s no additional book needed for the younger grades. Students in grades 7–12 are assigned the new book Strong in the Word for more in-depth Bible study. Strong in the Word incorporates most of the material from the Revelation study used in the 1st edition.
