Book List for Ancient History

Please note: Some of the links below are affiliate links. You are welcome to purchase these books anywhere.

Rainbow Resource  amazon  nothing-new-press

Necessary Books:

These are the main textbooks used in this course and are needed almost daily.

  • The Bible – You are welcome to use the translation of your choice. Discussion questions and review worksheets are based upon the King James Version unless otherwise noted.
  • Adam and His Kin, by Ruth Beechick (Mott Media)
  • Genesis: Finding Our Roots, by Ruth Beechick (Mott Media)
  • The Story of the Ancient World, by Christine Miller (Nothing New Press: 2015). (This book is also used in Year 2.)

Optional Resources:

You will build a timeline and a notebook with your children this year. The following resources are not necessary but can simplify things.

  • History Through the Ages: Timeline Figures (Creation to Christ), by Amy Pak (Homeschool in the Woods). We suggest the “Creation to Christ” set, which you can also use for Year 2. Note: This set does NOT include all of the dates that we will use in this curriculum.
