“If only the population of our country today had this depth of historical knowledge! These books are intended for early elementary students, and yet, only a small fraction of educated adults would have a background to compete with these. They will be beneficial to all family members ... and will be a strong addition to a child’s moral development in his formative years.” - Martha Robinson, read her detailed review for HomeschoolChristian.com “These engaging narratives are richly detailed accounts of the lives and times of the most important people of the period, arranged chronologically. The people are placed within the context of their times, and their history is presented with interesting background information so that the entire narrative flows as a single, unbroken story.” - Cindy Prechtel, Homeschooling from the Heart “The writing style of Guerber is very engaging and easy to understand, and Nothing New Press has added maps, and some beautiful artwork.” - Britta McColl, for Veritas Press “The Guerber History books are exactly what I want my children to be reading! Because the books are written like a story, instead of just a bunch of boring facts, they capture my children's attention very easily. It’s difficult to put the book down sometimes. I know that these histories are supposed to be geared for grammar-age students, but I have every intention of using them through high school - they are THAT informative and interesting. I see no reason to limit them to grades K-5 ... I’m learning much of the information right alongside the children!” - Kris Price of Classical Education 4 Me “I really like these books because they are reprints from an earlier time so I trust them to be more accurate than most of today’s revised history books. ... I like everything about them.” - Joanna, California “I received my books yesterday and I cannot tell you how pleased I am with them. The illustrations are beautiful. The time line and suggested readings are a wonderful addition. I can’t wait to get started reading these and incorporating them into my children’s history study.” - Janet B., Kentucky “Thank you Christine! We got The Story of the Ancient World and are happy as usual! Thank you for all your hard work!” - Tamara D., California “I just wanted to tell you that I received The Story of the Ancient World. It is just beautiful! You did a lovely lovely job and it was worth the wait!” - Kate K., California “We are enjoying [The Story of the Ancient World] so much! It is written so that the young can read and understand great historical truths.” - Lori M., Georgia “By the way I love [The Story of the Ancient World], and even more importantly my 3rd and 4th grader love it as well.” - April M., Idaho “I thank you for your Guerber history reprints; the children and I are halfway through The Story of the Greeks and are finding it a satisfying and memorable read. I’ve had many interesting questions and great narrations!” - Cath H., Australia “We are having a fabulous time with Guerber’s The Story of the Greeks--my non-book worm, non-history loving son settles down happily with it....” - Vicki S., Yugoslavia “I received my book yesterday [The Story of the Greeks]; it is everything I had hoped. Now I just can’t wait to teach our Greek section!! ... Thank you for the wonderful book.” - Sonia F., Iowa “As a college history major and someone who travelled through Greece, I really wanted to impart a base of knowledge of the classical world and a love of history to my young children. This book [The Story of the Greeks] has been an excellent tool. H. A. Guerber really captured the essence of storytelling and the love of history in this book. My little girl has now been sufficiently exposed to the richness of western tradition and I’m very satisfied. I highly recommend this book, even to adults, as thorough and enjoyable.” - Joe K., South Carolina “We have The Story of the Greeks and Romans and just love them!” - Laura Y., Washington “The Story of the Romans provides an introductory context for the culture and ideas so foundational to the development of Western thought.” - Anne Weiland, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine “I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy the Guerber history books. I homeschool my six children between the ages of 4 and 13 using the same book. We read a few chapters per day and I then assign one of the books you recommend in the back or from All Through the Ages. We recently completed The Story of the Romans ... I am learning more history now than I ever did in public school. My oldest daughter now claims that ancient history is her favorite subject and if she were able to travel, Greece and Rome would be the places she would choose.” - Karen C., Connecticut “My son, age 11, loved the Guerber Story of the Romans. He liked it more than [other books we have used].” - April S., Tennessee “There is not another work of history written for children that covers such an extensive timeframe in such a thoroughly detailed but fascinating manner in the marketplace today.” - Kate Kessler, Product Reviews Manager, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine “I received The Story of the Middle Ages and began to read. I am truly impressed with this well-written history book. I just wanted to take the time to let you know this.” - Renae D., Texas “My son, who is 13, loves The Story of the Middle Ages. Maybe it is considered too easy for a 13 year old, but if a boy will willingly read history, I don’t care what age it is geared to. I like them, too.” - Denise S., Texas “I just wanted to let you know how much my son and I are enjoying [The Story of the Middle Ages]. To our surprise, we like this book even more than The Story of the Romans! The other day, my son and I forgot to put the book away after school was finished. My husband saw it on the couch, and picked it up out of curiosity. As he started to read through it, he mentioned how impressed he was with it, too.” - Sydney M., New Jersey “Of particular note is the religious perspective. This series is Christian, and it does a surprisingly good job of fairly presenting both Protestant and Catholic positions. Even in the Renaissance and Reformation, we read about the good and the bad from both sides.” Cathy Duffy, 100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum “The Story of the Renaissance and Reformation holds more information than many students receive in a college-level world history course, yet the book is written at a level that can reach across the entire family. The storybook format is appropriate for reading aloud to younger students, while the fact that many chapters focus on one person allows older students to pursue research topics easily. With its charming illustrations, The Story of the Renaissance and Reformation is an excellent addition to the shelves of Charlotte Mason and classical homeschoolers.” - Martha Robinson, read her review for HomeschoolChristian.com “I’ve told everyone I can about your books ... We are going through the Renaissance and Reformation book right now, and reading every age- appropriate book you suggest, and we LOVE it! Thank you!” - Rebecca B., Texas “I am planning to use The Story of the Thirteen Colonies with my younger children. I already have it and think it is wonderful. I am so glad you are making these treasures available.” Sandra C., Mississippi “We are reading The Story of the Thirteen Colonies and after the first chapter my son wanted to go outside and build a wigwam. I thought to myself … ‘Now that’s what it’s all about.’ Thanks for the books.” Deanna E., Texas “I just recently purchased The Story of the Great Republic and I am currently using it with my children in our classical approach to history study. I love it. I will be buying more of the Nothing New Press publications in the future as I am so pleased!” Tracie C., Georgia |
