Presents US History from the Perspective of Faith in God and Respect for His Word
Combine United States History, American Literature, and Bible in a one-year high school course. The Exploring America Bundle includes all the components you need to complete all three subjects.
The Unit Tests are separate for history, English and Bible as are the questions for the lessons, the American Voice readings, and the literature readings. The reading choices are much more interesting than a typical American Literature course. The course has a very homeschool friendly manner. The Bible lessons I checked are interesting and relevant to each unit. Three courses for the price of one is a great deal.
