Uncover Exciting History is described by author Amy Puetz as "Revealing America's Christian Heritage in short, easy-to-read nuggets".
I have to admit that I'm not much of a history person. I've never loved history and I just don't remember much about details. As a homeschooling mom I was excited to review Uncover Exciting History, with hopes that I would learn lots of new things--and enjoy what I was reading!
I really did enjoy reading the short pieces that are written from a Christian perspective. Some of the topics included are:
*The Lewis and Clark Expedition
*Miracle At New Orleans
*The Pilgrims' Legacy
*The French and Indian War
*The Great Depression
Also included are bonus chapters, one of which is titled The Hand That Rocks The Cradle: Mothers Who Changed The World Through Their Children. This one was especially encouraging! At the end of each section is a group of questions appropriately titled "Digging Deeper". These will help the reader to think back on what was read and are great discussion questions if you're reading with kids.
I think that Uncover Exciting History is perfect for anyone like me who isn't much of a history buff. I look forward to using this book with my children as a supplement to their homeschool lessons. I received the e-book format but this is also available in hard cover. I don't usually prefer e-books, but I do like that I could print out one section at a time to work on during school time.
Uncover Exciting History retails for $16.50 and can be found at Amy's website here. You can also follow her on Twitter and Facebook.
