What is the study of history? Generations’ offering of America in God’s Providence-Volume 1, provides a high school level American History credit. During this study, the author suggests that history asks us to answer these two questions: Who is ultimately in charge and Whose law should be obeyed? The spiritual direction of the new land is a heavy emphasis throughout the text. Each unit begins with a relevant scripture verse (NKJV) and prayer that will center the student’s heart. Concluding each chapter is a brief Review section summarizing the chapter theme and highlighting Key Terms. Volume 1 will cover pre-colonial history through the Federalist Era. This is a unique start to an American History course. The pre-colonial start begins in ancient Rome and the influence that classical Greek thinking had on the formation of America. Along with ancient history influences, the history of Christian persecution lays groundwork for the hope many people had when traveling to the New World.
