Publisher's Description of TruthQuest History: Age of Revolution III (America/Europe, 1865-2000)
- Whew! What can be said?! This final guide in the series tackles the most profound issues and needs of our day which are, of course, spiritual at their heart.
- Specifically, the students will see that folks were already yearning for a world without God, a world wherein mankind did not spring from a Creator and could thus rule himself. Of course, Darwin granted their wish. But much more than an issue of primordial ooze and monkeys, evolution would fuel the unbelievably drastic changes that have shaken western civilization. Your children will see this heart-issue in each sphere of life--art, law, human worth, government, education, science, business, and more--as each is thoroughly explored.
- Alas, with broken heart, we will also see that the euphoria of this "progressivism" has yielded deep discouragement and alienation. It specifically fueled the tragedies of the 1900s, such as World War I and II. Its fragmented and mechanical view of all life, including that of humans, is mourned in modern art and music.
- Yet, that is not the end of the story! God and His truth are still the only source of life, freedom, prosperity, and joy! And our children have this great message! Thus, this final guide focuses not on the 'gloom and doom' of the post-modern, post-Christian world they are inheriting, but on the great mantle of authority which rests gloriously on each young believer who chooses to find their place in HIStory! It draws together all that your children have learned throughout TruthQuest History so they can express it to this hurting world. History is also about the present and the future! There is hope!
Category Description for TruthQuest History
TruthQuest History is a deeply engaging, literature-based homeschool history curriculum created by Michelle Miller, designed to place God at the center of historical study. Drawing from Charlotte Mason and classical education principles, it emphasizes "living books"—high-quality narratives, biographies, and primary sources—rather than traditional textbooks. The series reveals God's providence throughout history, showing how belief in Him (or rejection of His truths) has shaped civilizations, governments, economies, cultures, and individual lives. Students explore the spiritual cause-and-effect dynamics of the past, gaining wisdom to apply biblical principles to the present and future.
Key Curriculum Features:
- Christian Worldview Integration: Lively, conversational commentaries written directly to students introduce each topic with a distinctly biblical perspective, connecting events chronologically and highlighting God's role in history.
- Flexible, Book-Centered Approach: Extensive, curated lists of recommended "living books" (spines, fiction, biographies, and topic-specific resources) allow families to select readings based on interest, age, availability, and budget. Books are sourced from libraries, used bookstores, or purchases—do not attempt to read everything!
- ThinkWrite Exercises: Optional prompts for older students encourage critical thinking through essays, projects, skits, diaries, reports, drawings, or models on profound historical and spiritual themes.
- No Rigid Structure: Guides provide topical outlines and overviews but leave pacing, depth, and activities up to the family, making it ideal for multi-age homeschooling.
Series Structure and Grade Levels:
The core series, recommended for grades 5-12, consists of seven guides covering ancient through modern history:
- Beginnings (Creation/Old Testament/Ancients/Egypt)
- Ancient Greece
- Ancient Rome
- Middle Ages
- Renaissance, Reformation, and Exploration
- Age of Revolution I–III (America/Europe, 1600–2000+)
For children in grades 1-5, the American History for Young Students series covers U.S. history in three volumes with age-appropriate book recommendations.
