Description

Publisher's Description of Thunder Dog

An instant New York Times bestseller, Thunder Dog tells the true story of a blind man, his guide dog, and the life-changing power of faith and trust in the face of terror.

When one of four hijacked planes flew into the World Trade Center's North Tower on September 11, 2001, Michael Hingson, a district sales manager for a data protection and network security systems company, was sitting down for a meeting. His guide dog, Roselle, was at his feet.

Blind from birth, Michael could hear the sounds of shattering glass, falling debris, and terrified people flooding all around him. But Roselle sat calmly beside him. In that moment, Michael chose to trust Roselle's judgment and not to panic. They were a team.

As you relive that fateful day in September 2001 alongside Michael and Roselle, you'll learn:

  • The ways that grief and loss can lead the way for change
  • How the rare trust between a man and his guide dog can inspire your own unshakeable faith
  • The healing power of telling your own story
Category Description for Notgrass High School History

Studying history alongside quality literature resources has always made sense to me. Evidently it makes sense to the Notgrass family as well because they’ve developed a well-organized and user-friendly curriculum that integrates these two subjects and adds a solid Bible component. The courses may be completed in any order during the high school years; however, the publisher suggests the following sequence: Exploring World Geography, Exploring World History, Exploring America, and Exploring Government and Economics.

Exploring World Geography, Exploring World History, and Exploring America are each one year in length, providing three high school credits if using all the components and recommended literature titles. Exploring World History and Exploring America offers a credit in history, English (literature and composition), and Bible. The Exploring World Geography course also includes three credits: History, English, and Worldview. Exploring Government and Exploring Economics are semester-length courses, and would offer 1/2 credit in Government and English, and Economics and English, respectively. See each course for more information.

Either as independent study courses or discus­sion-based studies, the written-to-the-student texts allow for as much or as little involvement as parents choose (or are able) to give. There is a permeating emphasis on Bible and Christian history but no denominational bias. Curriculum Packages include required texts and primary source book. The Student Review Pack includes Student Review Book, Quiz & Exam Book, and Answer Key. The Student Review Book (part of the Student Review Pack) offers review/discus­sion questions, Bible commentary for Part 1 of Exploring World History, and literary analysis and review questions for all literature. Quiz & Exam Book holds quizzes and exams; the answer key is a separate book. Reading assignments for the recommended literature accompany the lessons.
