Description
James and Lance are middle school best friends on a field trip to the Library of Congress. While listening to a tour guide on headsets talk about historical documents, James stops short when the guide said it all began with the "Big Bang." He knew that God created the universe from nothing, but there was never anything about God in his history books. James was used to going to school with non-believers, including his friend Lance, and learning the truth at home from his parents. The boys venture away from their group and discover a mysterious hidden door... They find a gateway to a journey through history that will change their lives forever. In volume 1, they travel from Creation to the Reformation captivating readers along the way and covering 96 major events/people such as the Exodus from Egypt, Alexander the Great, the Magna Carta, and the Inquisition. In volume 2, James and Lance, the dove and the notebook are on a journey that finds them in jail for treason in 16th century England. Will they live to see the new world? Will James help Lance see God's hand throughout history? 64 major events are in this second book. These books are perfect for family time or individual study with their unapologetic Christian worldview and engaging approach to classical teaching.
