Description

Picking up James and Lance’s adventures in history, students are plunged into the life of Christians being persecuted for treason by the Roman Catholic Church. Students learn about history exploration through the stories from people the boys meet along their way. Along with learning history, students are witnessing the struggle it can be to evangelize and tell their friends about Jesus and be encouraged to do so. Graphics and maps break up the narrative throughout. The end pages provide an index on correlating the text with the Veritas Press History Flash Cards. The trio’s adventures span from a 16th century jail cell to the events of 9/11. Students will be navigating the Renaissance through modern history within this volume.    332 pgs, hc. ~Rebecca

Publisher's Description of Pages of History Volume 2: Blazing New Trails

Perfect for family story time or individual study, Pages of History 2: Blazing New Trails transports the reader through the timeline of the world, providing a view of Gods work in every age. This second volume covers the last two series, Explorers to 1815 and 1815 to the Present, in the Veritas Press history program.

James and Lance find themselves in a life or death situation in 16th-century England. James has been jailed for treason to the Catholic Church under the evil reign of Bloody Mary. He prays for an escape that only Lance can help him pull off. James struggles with helping Lance to understand God's hand in history, while Lance is undergoing a transformation of his own. An excellent, engaging narrative covering modern history. You`ll love this series.

The series is written with an unapologetic Christian worldview and provides an engaging approach to classical teaching.
