mid 1800's. The lavish use of color photos, drawings and maps combined
with excellent writing, thumbnail biographies, lives of saints, and
other features, make this volume and history series the best available

Light to the Nations, Part I
Development of Christian Civilization
From the coming of Jesus Christ, through the achievements of medieval
Christendom, to the threshold of the Enlightenment projects of the 18th
century, God's work in history reveals itself. This book combines narrative
accounts with the necessary facts, dates, short biographies, and concept
definitions needed for a Christian cultural understanding. The central
concern of the volume is the effect on human civilization wrought by
the Christian Faith. Drawing on the work of Catholic historians of the
20th century -- Christopher Dawson, Hilaire Belloc, and Frederick Wilhelmsen
-- the authors have crafted a Catholic and accurate account of our Western
heritage to convey our story to youth.
Grade range: 7-9
Light to the Nations, Part II
The Making of the Modern World
This volume presents the history of the modern era in story form, giving
proper emphasis to dates, central characters, and key concepts in each
era. End of chapter reviews and other material highlight dates and events,
characters in history, and definitions of key terms. The central consideration
of this volume is how modern ideas, institutions, and culture have developed
from the high centuries of Christian culture. Drawing on the guidance
of Catholic thinkers and the popes (particularly Leo XIII, Pius XI, Pius
XII, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI), this history presents the hope
that Christian thought and work hold for the future.
Grade range: 8-10
