Homeschool leader Barbara Curtis has posted a review of GREAT EVENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY on her website:
“Knowing what happened on noteworthy dates is important because it helps us better understand the world in which we live. We can see God at work in those events individually and corporately because history belongs to the Creator of the Universe, and he has a clear plan and purpose for everything that happens.
“Great Events in American History covers memorable dates of America’s story in two-to-four pages. Using compelling anecdotes, the author puts events that seem merely secular at first glance into the context of God’s activity, sometimes individually, other times nationally.”
“Janney’s choices of events runs the gamut from the expected – Columbus, Jamestown, Declaration of Independence , Wright Brothers, Stock Market Crash – to less obvious events such as the Titanic disaster, Sputnik launch and the Kent State shootings. The most recent event is September 11, 2001.
“The look and feel and format of Great Events in American History is very inviting and reader-friendly. I can see this book on a coffee table for kids to pick up when they have a few minutes. Or on the dinner table for dad to read during the meal for discussion. Or in the car for those moments waiting for someone to get out of baseball. With not a wasted word, Janney gives you a lot to think about – and the book truly does convey the continuity of God throughout events which may seem random.
“Rebecca Janney is offering five copies of Great Events in American History to MommyLife readers. Please leave a comment for a drawing May 1.”
