Summary: History for Homeschooling
Review: Despite what others may have said about this book's qualities regarding homeschooling it remains one of THE best books on the foundation of American culture. The author attempted and succeeded to remain unbiased when writing upon matters of religion (i.e. Roman Catholic Church vs. Protestant Church). However, the obvious wrong done by the Roman Catholic Church during the Roman Inquisition (not just the Spanish) is made quite clear. Yet the author does not leave the Protestant church without some blame, for they did promote violence, wars, and some measure of persecution. The book does accomplish its goal by making the reader understand what liberty is and what it has cost. No homeschooling Christian (or otherwise) child should be without this book.

Summary: The Story of Liberty
Review: I read this for pleasure, not for home schooling. It was outstanding! A fast and easy read, easily relating together the events over the past 700 years. Cofing clearly illustrates the slow struggle of the human race towards freedom ... tieing events together in a literary time-line. With such a clear conception of the tyrrants of the past, one can't help but draw parallels with contemporary tyrrants. I wish I had read this when I was in school. I am recommending it to all of my friends.

Summary: NOT a history book!!
Review: This book should be placed in the historical fiction section. It is NOT a history book! The author was so skewed and biased that it was laughable. I would not recommend that this book be used for any serious history class. His portrayal of the Roman Catholic Church was very biased as he narrated his own perspective on history. It was hard to take him very seriously because of his own personal prejudices. Homeschoolers beware!

Summary: This is a Great History Book!
Review: This is the best book about History that I've ever read. Though teaching facts like a normal History book does, this book is written as a story. It starts with the Magna Charta and goes through history until the Pilgrims. There is a great section on the reformation.

The book is easy to read, and very intriguing. It has great drawings to help emphasize and illustrate main points. Both children and adults will enjoy and learn about History from this book.
