Famous Men Of Rome
History For The Thoughtful Child
Item Number: 18152
Real history! The stories of real people for students in the elementary grades.
Just as the Bible uses the stories of the Patriarchs, Judges, Prophets, and Kings to teach us, so we hope that our history units on Israel, Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the Reformation will be useful in teaching your children about the traits God desires. The Greenleaf Guides and the companion titles in the Famous Men series emphasize biography, so that you can focus on issues of character and the consequences, both temporal and eternal, of the choices which historical figures made so that we - and our children - can learn to make wise choices in our lives.
The stories can be read aloud to younger students, or read independently by older students, either as the focus of their study or as a supplement. Instructors will find them useful with students from second grade though junior high.
