 Hearts for Him -home  Hearts for Him -packagesHearts for Him Through Time: Creation to Christ - Book DescriptionsThe Story of the Ancient World ISBN - None List Price - $25.95 Author - Christine Miller, H.A. Guerber Bibliographic Data - Paperback, 128 chapters, 279 pages, Nothing New Press, 2006 Description: From the Creation of the world through the fall of the Persian empire at the hands of Alexander the Great in 331 BC, The Story of the Ancient World retells as an engaging narrative the history of mankind's beginning, the rise of the nations, and the story of the great ancient civilizations of the Sumerians, the Hebrews, the Egyptians, the Phoenicians, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, and the Persians. Old Testament history is taken as authoritative, and the history of the other great ancient civilizations is also told, woven in and out of the Old Testament story at the proper places in the narrative. As the story of the entire ancient world was never completely told in a single volume of Guerber's histories, Christine Miller has taken Guerber's The Story of the Chosen People and has included chapters relating the history of the Sumerians, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Persians, and has woven them all together into a single, seamless narrative, carefully preserving Guerber's own style. An extensive bibliography of sources is included. Taken from the Publisher's Preface: The Story of the Ancient World begins with the text of The Story of the Chosen People by H. A. Guerber, but a comparison of that book to this will show immediate and numerous differences and additions. The Story of the Ancient World has been greatly expanded by chapters relating the history of the ancient peoples previously mentioned. As well, the greater story of the ancient world has been interwoven with Guerber's chapters, so that the Biblical history can be understood against that backdrop.
But it is not just Biblical history which benefits from the more complete picture drawn. I have taken the Biblical history as authoritative in all cases, and it has acted as the plumb line for the evidence left to us by archaeology and classical history. Looking at "secular" history through the lens of Biblical history has allowed, I trust, a complete and unified picture of the ancient world to emerge, which makes sense of the monuments, and the often disjointed facts children encounter in library books about this period. This would not have been possible without the careful scholarship of many individuals, and a complete bibliography of sources is listed in the back of the book. But a few in particular were of enormous help, and this book would not exist without them. These were The Defender's Study Bible by Henry M. Morris; Josephus: Complete Works by William Whitson; The Annals of the World by James Ussher, revised by Larry and Marion Pierce; A New System, or an Analysis of Ancient Mythology by Jacob Bryant; and The Five Great Monarchies of the Ancient Eastern World by George Rawlinson. In each of these works, the history related by the Old Testament was esteemed accurate, and the light they shed on the ancient world was invaluable. Any of the details of the ancient world which emerge in this book, then, which may seem surprising to modern readers because they are little known in our day, are not new, but were gleaned from one or more of these five sources, and have in some cases been supported, often unwittingly, by modern books which deny the historicity of the Old Testament. A complete study of these sources will confirm, I trust, the history told in this book. As with the other Guerber histories republished by Nothing New Press, The Story of the Ancient World is illustrated throughout (in black-and white) with famous paintings of its historical subjects, and photographs of the places it describes. Not only are maps present in the beginning of the book, but throughout the text as well, which greatly aids in making the narrative more clear. And as with the other Guerber histories, the pronunciation of personal and place names are carefully marked in the text upon their first occurance. A complete timeline of the events and persons mentioned in the text, a thorough bibliography, and an index round out the book. This book is scheduled for the child to read independently. Click on the following link to "see inside" the book: http://www.nothingnewpress.com/guerber/ancient-preface2.html Although the publisher lists this text for grades 1-6, we find it best suited for grades 4-7. This is due to the difficult vocabulary and style of writing, which requires a seasoned listener and a strong, independent reader. Ancient Greece: Streams of History ISBN - 159915255X List Price - $7.95 Author - Ellwood W. Kemp Bibliographic Data - Paperback, 68 pages, Yesterday's Classics, 2008 Description: This reprint of a 1902 edition by Ellwood Kemp narratively presents the main geographical features of Greece and provides interesting historical sketches of the life of the Greeks at four different stages of their development: Age of Homer, Persian Wars, Age of Pericles, and Age of Alexander the Great. The writing emphasizes Greece's growth to a land of great beauty and shows Alexander's influence in spreading Hellenistic culture through Egypt and Asia.

Kemp Bibliographic Data - Paperback, 92 pages, Yesterday's Classics, 2008 Description: This reprint of a 1902 edition by Ellwood Kemp narratively presents the geography of Italy and the life of Rome at three different periods of her growth: her infancy, her strong manhood, and her old age. The writing relates how Rome in her early years established herself in Italy, then engaged in conflict with Carthage, her most powerful neighbor and enemy. It shows how Rome finally extended her power all around the Mediterranean, giving to the world peace, law and order, and making unconsciously a highway both for Greek culture and for Christianity to spread to the West.

Genesis: Finding Our Roots ISBN - 094031911X List Price - $17.50 Author - Ruth Beechick Bibliographic Data - Hardcover, 112 pages, Arrow Press, 1997 Description: Why are so many creation stories similar all around the world?

Galen and the Gateway to Medicine ISBN - 1883937752 List Price - $13.95 Author - Jeanne Bendick Bibliographic Data - Paperback, 131 pages, Bethlehem Books, 2002 Description: Who was Galen? Galen was a doctor who practiced medicine almost 2,000 years ago. He was doctor to four Roman emperors, altering Roman history forever. Galen tended the wounds of gladiators, learned about the human body from studying pigs and monkeys, invented and recorded medicines that are still in use today, and had such accurate-sounding theories that his ideas were taught and followed for almost 1,500 years. We know about Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. But we owe nearly as much to Galen, a physician born in 129 A.D. at the height of the Roman Empire. Galen's acute diagnoses of patients, botanical wisdom, and studies of physiology were recorded in numerous books, handed down through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Not least, Galen passed on the medical tradition of respect for life. In this fascinating biography for young people, Jeanne Bendick brings Galen's Roman world to life with the clarity, humor, and outstanding content enjoyed in Archimedes and the Door to Science.

Henty and read by Jim Weiss Bibliographic Data - 6-CD Collection equaling 6 hours Description: In The Cat of Bubastes, Mr. Henty gives his readers a fascinating picture of one of the greatest of the ancient peoples at the height of their civilization. Chebron (son of the Egyptian high priest Ameres) and Amuba (a Rebu slave in Ameres' household) are companions.

Using Audio Files in Your HomeSchool Hittite Warrior ISBN - 9781883937386 List Price - $13.95 Author - Joanne Williamson Bibliographic Data - Paperback, 237 pages, Bethlehem Books, 1999 Description: Judea has always been the crossroads and battlefield of contending nations. It is no less so in this biblical time of Barak and Deborah. Uriah Tarhund's Hititte home is destroyed by invading Greeks. His dying father tells him to go south to seek a Canaanite named Sisera. "He will help you. For my sake." Uriah is plunged into the tumult of an uneasy Judea. When he saves a young boy from being sacrificed to the pagan god Moloch, he is given succor for a time by the Hebrews. Later, he finds Sisera and joins him in war against these same people. When the Canaanites are defeated, the young Hittite has the opportunity to come to a peace with himself, the Hebrew people and their God. This meticulously researched novel is set in the time of Judges, and incorporates Biblical facts with a gripping story, set against the wide background of ancient civilizations. While this novel is filled with violence befitting the time period, it does not go into a graphic amount of detail and does bring an important period in the Hebrew people's history to life. Within the Palace Gates ISBN - 9781881545118 List Price - $10.99 Author - Anna Pierpoint Siviter Bibliographic Data - Softcover, 308 pages, AB Publishing, 1992 Description: This is the story of Nehemiah, cupbearer to King Artexerxes.

Through the story, we are allowed to grasp the deep significance of Nehemiah's devotion to God, to Jerusalem, and to his people. Readers are also given a breathtaking glimpse of life in Babylon, the king's court, and the difficulty of life for the Hebrew people who were left behind in a crumbling Jerusalem. This is an engaging story, which gradually builds until it's hard to put down; but far beyond its plot, is the story's sacred focus. This is a reprint from the 1932 Edition. Peeps at Many Lands: Ancient Greece ISBN - 1599152894 List Price - $8.95 Author - James Baikie Bibliographic Data - Paperback, 115 pages, Yesterdays Classics, 2008 (originally published in 1920) Description: Through the eyes of a traveler to ancient Greece, we see how, by reason of geography, Greece became a land of city states. After examining several different city states and their land and naval forces, we watch all Greece come together for the Olympic games. Turning our attention to Athens, we marvel at the theatre, architecture, and sculpture of the age of Pericles. This book, which was written by a pastor in 1920, provides a thorough, narrative look at ancient Greece, placing the Greek civilization in its proper perspective. CONTENTS The Torch-Bearers When the World Was Young A Land of City-States Athens in its Golden Age: The Journey Athens in its Golden Age: The City The Sailor-State of Greece The Soldier-State of Greece The Greek Games The Theatre The Art of Greece: Painting and Architecture The Art of Greece: Sculpture Alexander the Great ISBN - 9781402741395 List Price - $6.95 Author - John Gunther Bibliographic Data - Paperback, 159 pages, Sterling Publishing, 2007 Description: Some say he was the greatest warrior in history, building an empire that extended from Europe to Africa and on to India and Central Asia. In a stirring narrative, famed historian John Gunther tells the story of Alexander the Great who, at only age 21, became King of Macedonia and set off on a 12-year journey to conquer the known world and extend the boundaries of Greek civilization.

Your children will see the rise and fall of history's greatest civilization through the lives of Horatius, Camillus, Caesar, Cicero, Marcus Aurelius, and many other larger-than-life figures. While the Roman culture was primarily pagan, an understanding of modern political history is impossible without a thorough understanding of Rome.

Ben-Hur Audio Drama ISBN - 9781589973961 List Price - $14.97 Author - Focus on the Family Radio Theatre Bibliographic Data - 2 CD Set, 2 hours of audio drama, Full cast cinema sound original music score Description: Ben-Hur is the powerful story of two friends who share a love for learning and a passion to be soldiers. But before many years pass, Judah Ben-Hur, a prince of the Jews, and Messala, the Roman nobleman and soldier, will also share a deep hatred for what the other has become. An unforgettable account of betrayal, revenge, redemption, Focus on the Family Radio Theatre's production of Ben-Hur tells the tale of a nobleman who fell from Roman favor and was sentenced to live as a slave--all at the hands of his childhood friend, Messala. Once nearly brothers, any hope of reconciliation is dashed after Messala is seriously injured during a vicious chariot race won by the vindictive Ben-Hur. But what makes this adaptation of Lew Wallace's best-selling story unforgettable is the changed man Ben-Hur becomes after seeing Christ on the cross. Recorded in London with film-style sound, this action-packed production underscores the fact that the power of God's love and true forgiveness are the only forces stronger than hatred and revenge. Twice Freed ISBN - 1845503953 List Price - $8.99 Author - Patricia St. John Bibliographic Data - Paperback, 190 pages, CF4kids, 2008 Description: Onesimus is a slave. Eirene is a rich merchant's daughter. Onesimus longs to gain his freedom and Eirene's love. However, he doesn't realize where true freedom lies. He wants nothing to do with Jesus Christ. His master, Philemon, may follow the teachings of the Christ and his apostle Paul... but Onesimus has other plans. In Twice Freed, Patricia St. John tells a fictional story based on Onesimus and his slave-master Philemon--two lesser known characters from the New Testament. While Philemon becomes a Christian, as well as many in his household, Onesimus resents his master and begins running from both his master and from Christ's love. The author manages to follow Onesimus from Colosse, to Ephesus, to Laodicia, and eventually to Athens and Rome. Along the way Onesimus keeps running into those who have been saved and caught up in this strange new religion: Christianity. The author's historical details and descriptive language make the story come alive, while the Biblical truth woven throughout the book is inspiring and challenging.
