Christian Novel Studies America: An Integrated Curriculum  Part I: 1492-1789 - "Land of the Pilgrims' Pride - The Light and the Glory

	Part II: 1787-1837 - "From Every Mountainside" - From Sea to Shining Sea

	Part III: 1837-1860 - "Let Freedom Ring" - Sounding Forth the Trumpet

	A number of years ago I read the adult version of The Light and the Glory by Peter Marshall and David Manuel.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and wondered, "Why  weren't history textbooks this interesting when I was a student?"  I was thrilled when the children's versions came out and I have used them extensively with my daughters.      In 1996 my husband and  I began our home business - Christian Novel Studies.  I started by writing and publishing literature study guides for Dave & Neta Jackson's popular TRAILBLAZER books.  When I had written guides for all of their  published books, I began to look for other ways to combine literature and history.  Since Peter Marshall and David Manuel's writing depicts history in a fascinating way, I realized thieir books would be a good structure for a  history-based literature study.  Three unit studies, each focusing on one of Marshall/Manuel's children's books, are now available.      Three more 11-weeks studies are now available (see the titles listed below).  The six 11-week studies will form an American history program from 1492-2001 that will take approximately two years to complete. Part IV:  "May God Thy Gold Refine"    -- 1860-1900 Part V:   "'Til All Success Be Nobleness" -- 1900-1940 Part VI:  "And Every Gain Be Divine"      -- 1940-2001
		Peter Marshall made the following comment about "Land of the Pilgrims' Pride": ". . . I think you have done a fine job with the project.  David Manuel and I are grateful whenever our books are used to teach children  the truth about our American history . . . ."
