The Mystery of History Volume I
Creation to the Resurrection
CD Audio Set
A 2008 “remix” has arrived! Since its publication in 2002, students of all ages have enjoyed
The Mystery of History. Through a newly mixed
8 CD audio set, you can listen to the stories of Volume I through the voice of the author,
Linda Lacour Hobar. With text in hand, you can read along with the author as she personally narrates the stories. Without the text, you can relax and listen as Linda speaks directly to you and your family. Beautifully mixed background music adds life, drama, and more meaning to these timeless historical lessons. (As of August 2008, this cd set has been “remixed” to provide a softer, more subtle musical background.) In the car, over lunch, before bed, or as an integral part of your school day – you can journey through the ancient world at your own pace.
(This audio set contains story lessons only and does not include pretests, activities, quizzes, exercises or similar items.)
Total listening time: 8 hours 52 minutes

But for those who wish to delve deeper, you will want to consider The Mystery of History (Volume III) Companion Guide: Curriculum and Student Activities.

Companion Guide: Curriculum and Student Activities on CD-Rom
What? There’s more? Yes, the Companion Guide: Curriculum and Student Activities is also available on CD-Rom. Why? The publishers of this curriculum seek to make The Mystery of History as user-friendly as possible. Therefore, the Companion Guide is available to you in two different formats, paperback and CD-Rom. Each contains the same material. Each has its advantages. Some people will prefer the more tangible product, like the paperback, that you can highlight, mark up, and clutter with Post-its. For your convenience, the paperback contains perforated pages and is three hole punched for you. Others of you will prefer dropping a CD into your home or school computer for easy printing and duplication of maps, quizzes, and more. (Some of you will want both!)
