America in God's Providence

Description

Have you ever considered America as a unique experiment in freedom? Generations, America in God’s Providence presents a strong and intentionally conservative Christian worldview of God’s work in American history. The two-volume Student Texts with accompanying Student Workbook is an independent, high school learner option for a 1 or 2 credit American history study. The easy-to-read student texts covers details of America from Christopher Columbus (1492) through Post-Christian America (2023). Encouragement to take field trips to your local and state governmental agencies, interview individuals, and become involved in your community are an emphasis. This course also pushes students to understand history as God’s story, that He is still writing!

The two-volume, full-color, hardcover Student Texts read nicely and are easy to follow. Vocabulary words are found in bold font; interesting and important information has been pulled out of the text and is highlighted for prominence; and a running timeline is presented along the bottom edge of each page. Scripture is presented in the NKJV throughout. Each chapter begins by centering the student with scripture and ends with a brief review section with the chapters Key Terms.

  • Volume 1 covers Christian history (64 AD) through the Federalist Era (1799)
  • Volume 2 covers the Constitutional Convention (1787) through Post-Christian America (2023)

Accompanying the student texts is the Student Workbook which provides flexible, one- or two-year scheduling making this a great option for any high school student to succeed. Also included are convenient weekly breakdowns; chapter worksheets with vocab words, discussion questions, and Optional Enrichment Projects; 25 quizzes; and 7 Unit Exams. Answers are provided in the back. Pages are perforated and 3-hole punched for easy removal and storage. See individual descriptions for more detailed information. ~Rebecca
