A note from Carrie

Evolutionary content and references to evolution do occasionally surface in this series. However, the choice was either to forego such a series (and leave students without such photography simply to avoid any evolutionary references) or to utilize the wonderful film footage of places students may never see, while still giving warnings as needed for content.

We did look for comparable Christian DVD’s, but there is simply nothing available that similarly covers the range of world geography/history as this particular series. As I watched the segments in the series, I know I couldn’t help but be in awe of how amazing our Creator is! To me, the videos bring the creativity and power of our God to us in living color!

So with this in mind, as well as keeping in the mind the high school age of our target audience, we decided to go ahead and schedule this series in coordination with our study of geography.
