Angela O’Dell’s World’s Story series uses the same fun style of her popular America’s Story series to teach junior-high students about world history. Students will start with God’s Creation and learn all about Biblical history and ancient civilizations up to the time of the Early Church.

Set includes student text and teacher guide.

Ancient history is fascinating, but it can be difficult to find material that teaches it from a Christian perspective. Even harder is finding a history curriculum that captivates students. But Angela O’Dell’s newly revised The World’s Story 1 - The Ancients does both! Students will learn all about the ancient civilizations of the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas from a strong Biblical perspective.

- Focuses on History and interweaves a Christian perspective throughout
- Features an engaging historical narrative
- First volume in a three-book world history series for upper elementary and junior high students

The text covers Biblical history, also educating students about civilizations mentioned in the Bible, including ancient Egypt, ancient Israel, ancient Babylon, ancient Persia, ancient Greece, and ancient Rome, up to the development of the early Church. It also discusses other ancient civilizations from around the world.
