Reignite your passion for history & the Kingdom of God in this 3-part Q&A workshop filled with thrilling stories from Christian history and Q&A with three outstanding Christian historians!

Have your kids ever come to you with a history question you didn’t know how to answer?

Questions like…

  • Did the Mayflower Pilgrims steal corn from the Indians or borrow it intending to pay it back?
  • Was Samuel Adams a true, God-fearing patriot or a liquor-loving rabble-rouser?
  • Was Deitrich Bonhoeffer right to join in the attempts to assassinate Hitler?
  • What should we think of Christopher Columbus? Was he a God-fearing Christian or did he take advantage of the Indians?
  • What became of the seven churches that the Apostle John sent letters to in the book of Revelation? Did they listen to the message Christ spoke to them?

You do your best, but maybe you’re not the history buff type. Perhaps you simply don’t have time to chase down every historical bunny trail. Plus, not all historians tell the same story about the same historical event. It can take hours, days, or weeks of research to sort out what happened.

Come ask a historian

During this workshop, you and your students will have the opportunity to share your historical head-scratchers with well-researched Christian historians. They have spent years studying Church history, American history, and the history of Gospel missions. These men haven’t followed all the historical bunny trails, but they have explored a lot of them, and they look forward to answering as many of your history questions as they can!

We’ll also be telling some thrilling stories from history like:

  • The Fiery Fulminations and Kindly Wooings that Changed Geneva
  • The American Pastor Known as “Religion in Shoes”
  • The Kidnapping and Providential Rescue of Jemima Boone
  • The Samurai and the Bomber Who Joined Forces to Expand Christ’s Kingdom in WW2

If you are battling fear, anger, or loss of hope as you watch the collapse of America and other “Christian” nations, join us LIVE for the help, advice, and principles from God’s Word and “His-story” that can transform your approach to history and breathe new life into your homeschool!

“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” (Deuteronomy 6:6-7)

We’ve spent the past fifteen years developing the Generations curriculum to help equip you in four key ways:

  1. Help you pass on the faith to your children by teaching a God-centered view of history, science, literature, and all of life
  2. Help you follow God’s walk-along, talk-along method of education (family discipleship) that He commands in Deuteronomy 6:7
  3. Obliterate any separation between academics and faith by integrating the Bible into every lesson
  4. Fill your children’s education with purpose by helping them move from learning to worshiping God and applying their new knowledge in real life

If you want to follow the Christian discipleship method of education that Deuteronomy 6 describes, this curriculum is designed to help you get started and stay on track.

PLUS, when you order this week…

We’ll include a free copy of Adventures of Missionary Heroism with your order

The 19th century has been called ‘The Greatest Century of Christian Missions.’ Until the end of the world and Jesus returns, the missionary stories about the courageous Gospel heralds of the 19th century must be told from one generation to the next.

These are the greatest stories of faith in our age to be appended on the Hebrews 11 list of the heroes of the faith. We have republished this classic compendium of stories from John C. Lambert, who wrote these accounts of pioneering missionaries serving in the greatest century of missions. Every Christian child growing up in Christian homes should know these stories by heart, and every family should pass this record in printed form on to the next generation.

What others are saying…

“My 5th Grade son loves reading [Taking Africa for Jesus]! He also enjoys the end of unit projects. This is his first time with tests in his curriculum. He has really grown in learning how to review and study for these tests. He now looks forward to the challenge and it has helped him read with a purpose to learning and remembering. He is often telling me and his siblings about the what he has learned. And I am thankful for the Christ centered content that he is filling his mind with. This is a very good curriculum.”
– Renee

“[American Faith] is a precious family read aloud. We have read several of these sketches as a family and if you like to study history through living books, here you have a collection of 27 short living books. Yes, you learn about history, you learn about people and their influence on the culture, but most of all you learn about the God who guided them, strengthened them, sanctified them and used them for His glory. Sometimes you might desire to meet these brothers and sisters personally, as it will seem to you to know their hearts. A book that encourages you to be used by God with your personal gifts and be faithful today.”
– Petra

“When [Taking the Middle East for Jesus] arrived in the mail, one of our young daughters was so excited, she started reading it immediately. She had read previous books put out by Generations and couldn’t wait to get started on this one. She shared what she was learning all throughout the book and then one particular story really captured her heart. She hand copied many pages out of the book on to notebook paper, relating to that story, and then read her report aloud to the family, all on her own initiative. I love how delighted she is to read curriculum put out by Generations and that she’s eager to share what she’s learning. The pictures are absolutely beautiful in this book too. I still plan to use this book with some of our children this fall, and my daughter said she’d gladly read it again. Highly recommend!”
– Allyson

“I wish I knew stories like this when I was 13. My daughter in 7th grade has an understanding of our church history greater than my own. Wow. We get to have conversations that blow me away because she is learning such profound truths in [History’s Heroes]. I’m always excited and so is she!! To have a 7th grader excited about learning history and seeing how it relates to the world even now is such a blessing!”

Questions you might be asking…

I’ll let Sara answer that question: “I have three kids under three and am homeschooling my teenager. We all enjoy the Great Christian Adventures series so I am able to read out loud while the toddlers play. The stories aren’t the same boring books I hated to read in school, but books even toddlers request I start the school day with.” (Sara McGuire – Michigan, United States)

We are in the process of developing our science curriculum but we currently recommend Math-U-See, Master Books, Institute for Excellence in Writing, and Apologia.

This is a huge reason why we created the Christian Discipleship Curriculum. It gives parents the tools and a framework to get started. Start simple with reading the Bible daily as a family and discussing questions from the reading. Our Family Bible Study Guides are a helpful tool to get into the habit. Reading and applying the Bible is the most important and most basic aspect of daily discipleship. Also my book Family Life will help you get clarity about the overall philosophy of biblical discipleship for your family.

Your goal should be to make the Word of God central in education. That doesn’t mean you should study the Bible to the exclusion of other subjects. What our curriculum helps you do is to integrate God’s Word into all the subjects. You can give your children’s education should be both solidly biblical and academically excellent. Our courses in History and Literature are academically rigorous and should help students prepare well for SAT, ACT, and similar exams. We recommend supplementing with Math and Science courses from other publishers in the High School grades.

In a nutshell, pray for the work of God’s Spirit in your husband so that they earnestly desire to fulfill their Ephesians 6:4 responsibilities. Humbly ask your husband to spend some time leading the family in worship and teaching the Bible. If he refuses, trust God to work in him and do what you can as a wife and mother.

We’d suggest that you choose a course that is advanced enough to keep your oldest children engaged. If you’re reading aloud, the younger children will still catch a lot. Each of the courses in our store have pdf samples you can view to get a better idea of the difficulty level of the material. Click here to go to the curriculum store.

Start with the core of all learning: the fear and knowledge of God. Start with the Bible. Our children need to know the great stories of Scripture, particularly the redemptive story of Jesus that starts in Genesis 1 and runs through Revelation. They need to know God’s word inside and out. Then supplement it with some of the great missionary stories of the last 2000 years.

We’re recommending MasterBooks for K-4. Also some of the YWAM materials are helpful.

The question to ask is, “what do you mean by wholesome and balanced?” Only the Word of God can give us a concept of the wholesome and the balanced. Non-Christians can only present a Christ-less, moralistic, “other gospel” view of life. Unless your children are ready to discern the deeper worldviews in play, don’t give them the brilliant non-Christian writers, or they will be deceived.

Fortunately, we don’t have to choose between skillfully written non-Christian books and poorly-written Christian books. This is why we have focused on time-tested Christian classics in our Christian Literature curriculum packs.

No. Your children need to learn how to engage with non-Christian beliefs and worldviews. But make the Scriptures and the great Christian classics top priority. Then engage the non-Christian books as you have time and your children have the maturity to discern the worldviews.

No. Scripture and the great Christian writers are the most relevant to real life. If you want your children to be ready to speak hope into the life of someone with terminal cancer, would you rather they had read Of Mice and Men or The Pilgrim’s Progress? What hope does Hawthorne have to offer? None. If you want your children to be “relevant” and ready to speak hope into the lives of others, focus on the top priorities: the Word of God, then the writings of the great Christian men and women of history.

1. Sci-Fi, fantasy, and mystery novels tend to be highly addictive for our children. If your child is preferring fantasies to the things of God, you may need to go to them and say, “We are repenting. We’re sorry. We didn’t realize that there was such a battle going on. We’re going to start changing what we read.” You may also need to engage in a weaning process as you teach your children to become interested in good Christian reading.

2. Let your children see excitement in you for good books.

It’s a matter of balance between fiction and non-fiction. Focus on the highest priority: the Word of God. Let fiction fill in the cracks if desired and if the child is not being taken captive by the storyline. Also balance work and reading. Fiction tends to have little relevance to the “real life” world of work. As your child begins to work and look for answers to the challenges he encounters, he will find he is helped far more by the Bible or the stories of great men and women of the faith than by some sci-fi hero.

This really depends on your student’s ability to process the material. Some students will need more one-on-one time than others. Our courses include complete lesson schedules and answer keys to make assigning material and grading quick and easy, so much of the study work can be done by the students on their own.

That said, we STRONGLY encourage parents to be involved—not to hold their child’s hand and tell them WHAT to think, but to lead by example in teaching them HOW to think about:

  • what questions they should be asking
  • how to seek God for wisdom as they study
  • how to move from new understanding to praise of God
  • how to identify and “cast down” ideas that are not based on Scripture

This is Deuteronomy 6 in action!

Requirements vary from state to state, but it should meet most states’ requirements. You’ll have to check your specific state’s requirements to confirm.

Our curriculum does provide written assignments, but it does not teach writing. We recommend a separate writing and grammar curriculum.

Each of our Literature courses is worth 1 high school credit with the exception of Essential Writings on Church History, which is worth 2 credits (1 for Literature and 1 for History).

And, if you’re wondering about credits on other titles in our core curriculum packs, here’s a link to our curriculum credit schedule.

We typically update our Literature curriculum each year as needed. Updates will be incremental upgrades like adding some assignments here and there or fixing typos or other small errors that may be found.

We offer a full 100% money-back guarantee. If you order one of our curriculum products and aren’t satisfied, simply return it within 60 days. We’ll give you 100% of your money back, no questions asked. That’s a promise.

Two years from now…

Where will your children be two years from now? Will they have a deeper understanding of God’s Word and be better prepared to discern God’s Truth from Satan’s lies?

OR . . . Will they be colder towards Christ, lured away by deceptive worldviews?

We know that God must work in our children’s hearts if they will walk in the way of truth. For that reason, we both pray fervently for our children and we disciple them in the truth. We have produced the Christian Discipleship Curriculum to provide you with tools and a framework for faithfully discipling your children.

Buy it. Use it. And trust God to work in the lives of your children.

For Christ and His Kingdom,


For Christ and His Kingdom,
