Christian The Mystery of History is written from a Christian worldview and uniquely weaves world cultures and stories of the past into the history of Christianity. But more than that, lessons in The Mystery of History are like fragments of a mosaic that, when put together, reveal a much bigger picture and tell a much larger story—one that points toward God’s plan for mankind.

In Portraits of Integrity you and your children will be challenged to strive for excellence through the examples of 45 people who did just that. An added feature contained in this study is “Ifs”, a game we often played to help children learn to make wise decisions before they are even placed in a position of temptation.
