Explore the Holy Land

About Explore the Holy Land:
Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Turkey...your family probably hears or reads about these names frequently. In an increasingly complex world, it is vitally important that children learn to see the world through their Creator's eyes. As we explore the Holy Land you and your family will delight in incredible, mysterious landscapes, hidden wonders and beautiful peoples - all created in God's image. We will travel through the lands of Scripture, discovering familiar Biblical landmarks, such as the possible resting place of Noah's Ark, the remains of the Tower of Babel, the tracks of Moses up to the peak of Mount Sinai.

If we found the source of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, might we find the Garden of Eden? Why is that wall in Jerusalem called the Wailing Wall?  What unbelievable wonders might we find in the desert sands of Egypt? What do Babylon, Nineveh and Ur all have in common? What country in the world is the holy land of millions but you won't find a church anywhere? Can you follow the trail  where Moses once walked to find the Lost City of Stone?  Come, discover the answers to those wonderings and more... explore the modern Middle East, its vast deserts and hidden palaces of Saudi Arabia, its fantastic marsh island homes of the Ma'dan peoples of Iraq, and its resourceful Bedouin tribes who scatter across the the sands of the Middle East.

Over the course of 16 chapters and nearly 200 pages of text, explore six Middle Eastern countries  with

Testimonials:

  • "I've read through all 198 pages of A Child's Geography: Explore the Holy Land. And this really IS the best geography guidebook I've seen for the K-6th grade set. (And I've seen a lot over 10 years of homeschooling.) I believe that my favorite thing about Vol. II is the respectful way the people of each country are treated. They are presented as beautiful, and as made in God's image." ~Holly, homeschooling mother of seven
  • "I have purchased your books through Lulu..looked through your website thoroughly...and think that the books are wonderful! I am always looking for truly excellent, Christ-centered materials. I couldn't agree more with Jeannie Fulbright's recommendation. I appreciate the niche you are filling as I have had a hard time find a Christian, living book, geography "text" to use!" ~Carrie Austin, Drawn into the Heart of Reading, a Cathy Duffy Top 100 Pick

 

A November 2007 Note to Travelers!

First, may we thank you for trusting to embark with ACG as you travel around God's grand and glorious globe! It is a privilege to serve each of your families.

We've deeply appreciated your thoughfulness, grace and prayers as ACG has grown over these last two years. As we have grown, we have listened to families request easier access to bound copies of the books, families wanting to peruse books at curriculum fairs, international families seeking local retailers. To meet this need, Terri Johnson of Knowledge Quest, publisher of Blackline Maps of World History, and Wonders of Old, is now also publishers of the ACG books.

What does this mean?
  • That bound copies of ACG books should be available through local retailers
  • That suppliers should carry the books in countries outside of the United States, reducing shipping costs for international families
  • That folks can browse an ACG adventure, in hand, before embarking
We pray that this development will allow more families to board with ACG, adventure around the world, and catch the passion for a caring, global worldview!

What changes?
What doesn't change?
  • We are still 100% committed to supporting the least of these through World Vision. That will never change. 100% of all author royalties will be given to the hurting, the hungry, and the helpless through World Vision.
  • ACG vision continues to be about going into all the world, about making Christ's Great Commission part of our homeschooling mission, about moving beyond the boundaries of our own spheres and becoming global citizens.
  • We are still here to serve you, explore with you, and be awed by all His world! 
Thank you for traveling with ACG! If we may serve you further, please do not hesitate to drop us a line!

Sojourning with Him,
Ann Voskamp with Tonia Peckover for  A Child's Geography
                    Christ calls His disciples to go into all the world...
                             Let's go!
