The series is now complete!
by Mindy
We are thrilled to announce that volume 5, Rescue and Redeem, is now available in the US!!
And to celebrate the conclusion of the series, our friends at Westminster Bookstore are offering (for a limited time) the entire 5-volume set for 45% off (only $24.72 — less than $5 per volume)! Of course you can also purchase Rescue and Redeem individually at a 30% discount ($6.29), but it might be worth purchasing the whole set at the greater discount and then donating any volumes you already have to your school or church library…or designating them your “loan out” copies…or swapping them with homeschoolers…or giving them away to other young friends/seminary students/pastors…you get the idea! When you order, please let the good folks at the bookstore know how much you appreciate their special prices for our books.
THANK YOU for your support, dear readers, and ENJOY this final installment!
U.S. release scheduled for March 15
by Mindy
We are just days away from the U.S. release of Rescue and Redeem! You can now pre-order at Amazon, with an anticipated ship date of March 15; other retailers will follow soon. We hope you enjoy this last book in the series just as much as the first!

Cover of Rescue and Redeem…revealed!
posted by Mindy
At long last, we present the cover of the forthcoming and final History Lives book, Rescue and Redeem: Chronicles of the Modern Church! This beautiful illustration (click the thumbnail for a larger view) by Jonathan Williams features Pandita Ramabai and her daughter Manoramabai on the grounds of the Sharada Sadan, a refuge and school for child widows in India founded by Ramabai. Hers is one of the remarkable stories you’ll find in this volume. We can’t wait for you to read them all!
recent endorsements from the homeschool community
posted by Mindy
Thank you, readers, for continuing to spread the word about History Lives. Over the last few months, a number of you have told us that you are using these books in Sunday school classes, school curriculum, discussion groups, and as good ol’ bedtime reading. Soon you’ll be able to add Rescue and Redeem to all those lists, too, completing the historical arc! Stay tuned for details on this final book in the series.
In the meantime, we’re happy to tell you about a couple endorsements we’ve received from the homeschooling and classical school communities. Susan Wise Bauer, author of the popular Story of the World history curriculum for grades 1-4, has recently revised Activity Book 2 (The Middle Ages); you’ll see that Courage and Conviction now tops the list of recommended additional reading for her chapter on Martin Luther and the start of the Reformation. And The Old Schoolhouse Magazine was kind enough to give Hearts and Hands a very enthusiastic review. We appreciate it!
