Christian Living Books and Historical Fiction"Adventure" in Order

Imagination does not stir at the suggestion of the feeble, much diluted stuff that is too often put into children’s hands."  - Charlotte Mason



* Christian Slant Historical Living Adventure Books are somewhat in order of the Era.  Scroll down the book list. All books have links to them. This is  for my convenience so I can find them quickly and remind myself of the reviews. I do not get any pay for any of the recommendations links.  I have not read  all the books as well. We do History in order and this is the beginning stages of our homeschool. If you have any knowledge of any of the books please leave a comment. Thanks!

  1. What a wonderful list! Although we don't homeschool, we do a lot with our children at home - and history is one of Anna's favorite subjects. ☺

  2. Denise, The Little Lady and I are reading out loud The Golden Gobblet. We are finishing up her Egypt Unit. I picked it up at a used book store for practically nothing. I would imagine the library has a few of them as well. Let me know if she reads any of them.

    The Bronze Bow was highly recommended, by the way.

  4. Hi Carman, Andrea here. One book for the late middle ages is Christopher Columbus by Genevieve Foster. Everything you ever wanted to know....and then some. I've got a box of books set aside for you. Bob and Debbie Gerstenberger send hugs along with us. Love to all.

    I plan on using it with my dd to supplement history with living books.
