Canadian History by Donna Ward
Donna Ward is a Christian and some material has Christian content. Resources are reviewed from a Christian/family values perspective. However, being brief or resource based, and reaching the small but very broad Canadian market, Christian content is not an overriding factor of the curriculum. Example – Canada’s Natives Long Ago contains a lesson on Native religion and compares it with Christianity and Hinduism. Resources suggested include out-of-print biographies which include conversion to Christianity. Living books are story style written by someone passionate about the subject. They draw you in, engage emotions & make the subject come alive so it’s easy to remember the events. We offer you the best in living books with curriculum guides to pull the groupings into an easy plan.

History for the Ages. David Halahmy
Hello everyone! Welcome. I have always had a great passion for teaching History! I created my lectures for my students who take Early and Modern Western Civilizations and the History of the Middle East. Then I saw that many people who were not my students found these lectures engaging, informative and fun. I have also created some “short history lectures” for people who just want to learn something quickly. Also, check out the playlist “History by Eve” I promise the videos will brighten your day! I update my lectures from time to time and make new ones as well, so please subscribe! Thank you. Enjoy!
