Who What Why Christian History Series

How do we make history come alive in our homeschool? I am constantly on the lookout for high quality books to enhance our homeschool and am so excited about the Who, What, Why? Series from Danika Cooley.

This is the first installment. The three books include: 

• Who Was Martin Luther?
• What Was the Gutenberg Bible?
• Why Did the Reformation Happen?

• It’s 90 pages broken into 8 chapters with a timeline at the end.
• I love the creative chapter titles (A Diet of Worms ~ Kidnapped! ~ A War, a Wife, and a Funeral). They are sure to catch and keep your child’s attention.
• There are fun pictures throughout the book (black and white).
• The chapters are short enough for your middle grade (8-11 year old) readers to read on their own or for you to read aloud as a family.
• Each chapter is LOADED with tons of fun facts and relevant information told in story form.

My Review:

I loved this book! I learned a ton of information I didn’t know, and my kids did too. I appreciated how the author brought history to life, connected church and world events, and loaded the pages with action. I highly recommend the book and can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

A Child’s Perspective:

My daughter wanted to share her thoughts with you as well, so here is her review:

“The book is really good and I like how it has a lot of true things and quotes from Martin Luther. I also think it’s really good because it has some pictures but not too many. It’s nice that the words aren’t too small. The only thing I didn’t like was that it could have a little more action and some color. It was a really good book and I think you should get it! It teaches you about the Bible, has action, and is a good story.”

-Kendra Jo (age 8)

“It was through Johann Gutenberg that God’s Word spread like dandelion seed in the wind, bringing life to the world.”

– DANIKA COOLEY, WHAT WAS THE GUTENBERG BIBLE?

• The book is 91 pages, broken into 7 chapters and ending with a timeline.
• Each chapter is loaded with interesting historical information written in story form and includes some black and white illustrations.
• It covers topics about the Bible, Johann Gutenberg’s life and invention of the printing press, the road to reformation, and how the Bible came to be translated into other languages.

My Review:

I loved the simplicity of this book. It is packed with interesting information, fun facts, and tons of action to keep your kids (and you) turning pages! It’s perfect for family read alouds or for your middle grade (aged 8-11) student to read on their own. I highly recommend it!

A Child’s Perspective:

My daughter wanted to share her thoughts with you as well, so here is her review:

“I like how there are pictures in each chapter and I really like how they number the years and how there are so many people in it.”

-Kendra Jo (age 8)

• The book is 91 pages, broken into 9 chapters and a timeline.
• Each chapter is filled with interesting historical information written in story form and includes several black and white illustrations.
• This book covers topics about the history of the Roman Catholic Church, the history of the Reformation, truths about the Bible, early church heroes, the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus, Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion, and more.

Have you ever wondered about the history of Christianity? Or explored the lives of heroes who paved the way for us to worship Jesus freely, study His Word from the comfort of our homes, and share the Good News of the Gospel with people around the world? Have you searched for resources to easily teach your children about this important part of our history?

“Reform, or change, didn’t happen in the Church all at once. It started with a few brave voices–the Reformers.”

DANIKA COOLEY, WHY DID THE REFORMATION HAPPEN?

Look no further! Danika Cooley’s new book Why Did the Reformation Happen? dives into this and more! And I am sharing everything you need to know about the book as well as my thoughts after going through it with my own kids.

My Review:

There is so much church history packed into these fun pages! The information is laid out perfectly for your homeschool studies. It is packed with interesting history, fun facts, and tons of action to keep your kids (and you) turning pages! I loved learning about so many heroes of the faith in a succinct way that flows from page to page. It’s perfect for family read alouds or for your middle grade (aged 8-11) student to read on their own. I highly recommend it!

A Child’s Perspective:

My daughter wanted to share her thoughts with you as well, so here is her review:

“I didn’t know so many people had to fight for Christianity. It was really interesting and I loved all the pictures. I liked that the chapters were short and there was more info on things I had already heard about too. I can’t wait to read her other books.”

-Kendra Jo (age 8)

 

How We Used the Product in our Homeschool:

These books worked perfectly as supplemental material for our history. We read them aloud (a chapter or two at a time) and discussed them as a family (with my 3rd & 1st graders).
