I read almost everything in the 3 sample chapters. Wow, I love the way she writes. I love the feeling she gives you of actually visiting those places. She talks to children in a way that engages their imagination, but she doesn't talk down to them. I enjoyed reading it so much that I didn't want to stop. The pictures she has chosen are perfect for making you feel like you are there, while making you wish you could go there and see them in person. I would love to study geography using these books. I love the way she keeps bringing in the ways that God has made the Earth and how that affects what people do in each place. She ties together other learning such as history and literature with the places she tells about. And the Bible is always central to what she teaches. I love this book!
I love your geography books!
maria.whitt2@verizon.net
This looks great. I was just telling my kids a day or so ago that the one place I would love to visit is the Holy Land.
This would be great to have. Lord willing, my husband and I are going to Israel with our church next year. What a great way to prepare with my daughter by using the Holy Land geography book to study the places she'll hear about us going. Cheryl

We are loving Explore His earth. It is information packed with great (and FUN!) activities and projects. We are doing it over the summer and my kids don't even know it is 'school'! The Holy Land book also looks phenomenal!

Hi, Love the first Volume and want the Second Volume! It looks Great!

I have the first volume of this great series, and am thrilled to see sample chapters of the second. It will fit perfectly with my Ancient History study this next year!

My son loves geography and maps and loves to plan trips--it's one of the few things that connect him to literature--he would love this geography book! Thank you for holding the contest.
I have been eyeing this book for awhile but unable to purchase. Please do enter me for it! I am excited, thanks, Christa

These are wonderful geographies. I only wish my text at college was so good. I would love to use this for my daughter.
The only part I don't understand is where it says to "press record"
I can't find a record button or what this pertains to...

Recently doing a Beth Moore Bible Study has made the life of Jesus so real, and of course as a homeschooling family, each member shares our learning with one another. Explore the Holy Land would be another tag-on to our experience--to bring even more life to our scripture studies! We are getting ready to dive into Explore His Earth and CANNOT WAIT!!! Thanks for carrying such great products. You're a blessing!
khrismcc@yahoo.com
I recently purchased volume 1, would love to win volume 2. Thank you for this opportunity.
carolbottomfield@yahoo.com
Wow! I love the conversational tone of this. While it is very warm, welcoming, and casual, there is still so much depth and detail. In each of the sample chapters, I learned some new geography myself! Not only would it be an incredible educational tool for my children, but I'd be learning new things right along with them. In my estimation, homeschooling doesn't get any better than that!
Just a few minutes reading through the sample pages and I knew this is one book that I'd love to use with my children. I have been looking into curriculum that will help us understand the culture and geography of the land of the Middle East so that we can better understand the prophecies of the events and history that are taking place surrounding these countries. I feel this book will do the job wonderfully! Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of this book.
thestefanbunch@yahoo.com
I looked at the samples for both of the A Child's Geography books, they are great! My son loves history and geography and it seems as though the books take you on an adventure. Boys love adventure!
Thank you.

First time I'd looked at these in depth -- I had heard of them and meant to look, but... hadn't yet. Thanks for the opportunity!

Your company has such a good reputation in the homeschool community. This particular product looks like a wonderful way to explore Biblical history and tie it into the present. I love products that seemlessly blend the Bible into history lessons.
This looks wonderful. I can't wait to read more!
Belinda
Since we will be starting with Old Testament History this fall, A Child's Geography of the Holy Land would fit right in wouldn't it?!
This would be easy enough for my 1st grader, but more importantly, I could easily see my 8th & 9th grade boys using this also! We did World Geography last year, so this would be a "stress-free" way for them to focus on the areas we are studying for Old Testament History!

I've recently purchased Vol I, and would love to have this new book to Explore the Holy Land!
This book looks fantastic! It will fit right into the history study we will be doing next year! I love when my kids can see how history and geography go hand-in-hand. I love it even more when they can see God's hand in all of it! This book definitely can be used to tie it all together!

We are coming to the end of A Child's Geography book 1 and I have loved it. Next year we are going back in history to the ancients and Book 2 will be a wonderful way to bring geography into those studies. I enjoy the way she writes and all the wonderful activity suggestions.

Next year we're studying Ancient History...sounds like a great resource! I like the idea of using one book for different levels, as we have kids in each level. Thanks for creating and sharing this resource.

Oh, I would love to win this! I've been longing for it since purchasing A Child's Geography: Explore His Earth. This is one of those books that I really want to read for myself - the Holy Land, what a fascinating topic! One way or another, I will get this unit, and I'm sure my son and I will both love it, and be so much better off for having gone through it.
Thanks for the chance to win this unit! What a gift!
I have Vol. 1 and we love it. I would love Vol. 2. I can't believe the quality and quantity of the free download samples. Great Stuff! I hope I win. Thanks.

It looks fabulous. I have the first one and would love the second.
My oldest and I have greatly enjoyed the first book in this series. We have enjoyed the conversational tone and word images that Ann Voskamp uses to describe our beautiful world. When my son finished it, he was ready to move right into the second book. So far, based on the samples, I know we will enjoy reading about the Holy Land. Thank you for publishing such good quality books. ajiwac@gmail.com
We have the first and are enjoying working through it. Would absolutely love to have the second and work through the Holy land.
This looks like an excellent book!

We're planning to use A Child's Geography this fall, and I'd love to have this next book in the series "waiting in the wings." As I'm beginning to lesson plan around the first book, there are so many features I like, including the "bringing it home" and the idea of a travel-log or postcard to inspire narration. I'm glad to see those features carry over here. And I love the idea of the prayer walks -- we do those for our local area, so incorporating walks where we pray for the world is a wonderful thought!

WOW! That's what I have to say about this resource... WOW! I love the narrative way it is written, as if the children are a part of a conversation, versus being crammed full of information. I also love the many beautiful photos placed throughout the chapters... BRAVO! A must have resource for sure!
All God's Blessings~

I've downloaded the samples before and everything looks wonderful! I think there's little more important for Christian families to imbue their children with than a working knowledge of Middle-Eastern geography!
I just love the look of this book and the other book too! The narrative style of writing looks fantastic. Can't wait to use it someday!

This looks terrific! After looking at the contents, I downloaded and read the first three chapters, and after having read them, I will be starting to use these right away.
I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have such a trusted resource to teach my children the geography and culture of the land we read so much about and refer to everyday in our Bible.
This will work for my daughter and I when we do her Unit Study of Biblecal countries, Isreal, Jeruselam, ect. jhhbm@yahoo.com
What a phenomenal resource...and it couldn't be more timely. Learning about the Holy Land, the culture and its people couldn't be more important then it is right now. I love the presentation, this is a wonderful resource I look forward to owning and sharing with my family.
