Product description
Explore the ever-changing world of the past 500 years Sonlight H completes the study that began in Sonlight G. Get a backstage pass to the last 500 years of World History – Colonial rule and Colonial rule overthrown, the influence of the Renaissance on the American and French Revolutions, the World Wars and life for everyday people during those wars. In this program, you'll meet the people whose ideas and actions forged the course of history, from reformers to rocket scientists. Gain a working knowledge of what happened from the 17th century to about 1990. In this 36-week program, you'll also discuss some uncomfortable realities of history that were largely sidestepped in previous years – things like the Holocaust, poverty, and war. Finish the breathtaking journey through World History you started in Sonlight G. Enjoy your children as they grow: you get the lesson plans, tools and materials to guide them each day.

Estimated daily time for World History, Year 2 of 2 plus your other subjects: Student: 4-6 hrs | Parent: 2-3.5 hrs Prefer a one-year World History option? See Sonlight W . Overview of the History The History uses the final two volumes of Susan Wise Bauer's Story of the World . Overview of the Bible Your children will learn how to apply God's word to everyday life! The Bible titles will challenge and equip your young teens to live out their faith in every circumstance. The Purpose Driven Life is far more than just a book; it's the road map for your spiritual journey. A journey that will transform your life. Each chapter provides a daily meditation and practical steps to help you discover and live out your purpose, starting with exploring three of life's most pressing questions. With In Keeping Your Kids on God's Side , you'll find 40 of the most common challenges kids face—along with clear, easy-to-understand responses you can discuss together. In But Don't All Religions Lead to God? your kids will learn what sets Christianity apart from other religions and how to put their complete trust in Jesus—no matter what. And finally with Turning Your Bedroom into a Bible College your kids will dig deep and learn to read, study, meditate, and apply God's word to their lives in preparation for adulthood. Scripture memorization covers two key passages per week. Overview of the Literature The Read-Alouds: what a fabulous treat! The first book, one that may make you spontaneously exclaim, "I love that book," tells of a girl who ends up in a cathedral boys' choir, while also trying to figure out why her father was murdered. (This does not touch on the humor, charm, interest, and delight in this book. As with all the best books, it is impossible to convey the feeling of the whole in a single sentence.) Both of Sarita's daughters claim The Sherwood Ring as one of their favorites. Not a story of Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest, this is set in New York, mostly during the Revolutionary War, in which dashing military officer Peaceable Sherwood makes life miserable for the rebels. (One of Sarita's daughters hopes that, in heaven, all book heroes are as dynamic and perfect as Peaceable Sherwood.) One Read-Aloud tells the story of the Jewish Danes escaping to Sweden during WWII. Another one set during WWII includes the evacuation of Dunkirk, and a description of life in a country that is under attack. There's a book about life in Afghanistan under the Taliban; one about the Japanese occupation of Korea and the later Communist takeover of North Korea; and one about figuring out what causes cholera. One is about the Trail of Tears, when the Cherokee were evicted from their homes in Georgia and forcibly resettled in Arkansas. Readers The 13 Readers this year continue the Sonlight standard: a range of topics and beautiful writing. Huguenots flee persecution in France and end up on a sugar plantation in the Caribbean. The potato blight and subsequent famine in Ireland. Life in the Tower of London. Exile in Siberia. Growing up in the Amazon rain forest. The French Revolution. The Russian Revolution. Stories set in Canada, Japan, Hungary, India, and China. Sonlight H discusses some uncomfortable realities of history and life: the Holocaust, poverty, war, grief, minorities, and famine. But even though the world can be dark, even though life can be hard, my hope is that when your children face challenges – which, at their ages, might be no more than resolving conflicts with siblings or working hard to understand math – my hope is that they'll say, "I know I can do this because I've read about ordinary people like me who kept on trying. I won't give up!" With strong heroes to emulate, may your children be prepared to persevere.
