The large font size keeps the amount of content to an appropriate level so that students do not feel overwhelmed. The stories allow rare glimpses of the author's Christian viewpoint, but not enough to put off a secular audience.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Cathy Duffy Reviews\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003e\"We have had the wonderful privilege of using both Profiles from History I and II for the last couple of years to accompany the Trail Guide to Learning Series. I feel Profiles from History would be an excellent accomaniment to any history curriculum. The games, word searches and activities that go with each profile really help to bring understanding to the student as well as make learning about the characters fun. Anything that I can put my hands on to help my child get a better picture of a person from history or an era is an excellent tool, and Profiles from History is just that.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Christy Slattman\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003e\"My daughters are always excited when it is the day to add a section from Profiles from History to our Paths of Exploration curriculum. The selections in the book help us meet historical figures on a personal a level. We learn new facts about them and experience life through their eyes in their time period. Using the timeline helps us see things as a whole – how what they accomplished fits into history and what else was going on around them. The activities included make learning fun and thorough as we adventure through history.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Becky Hartmann\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003eIn our homeschool, living history books are our primary textbooks. Each biography in Mrs. Wiggers' books span no more than three pages, so we use the books as an introduction to a historical character and time period. Every story is a beautiful springboard for learning more about a historical person throughout the week. Along with supplemental resources, we reinforce comprehension with the discussion questions, overview maps, timeline information, and other activities at the end of each biography on different days. Mrs. Wiggers has been careful to include interesting, extraordinary details that provide my children with short (but thorough), enjoyable passages, and me with an indispensible resource that I can’t put down when I get started!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Melissa Weber\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003eI love the Profiles from History books because each story in them teaches me a lot, and I have fun while reading it! I usually don't remember much from my books, but in this series, the stories are not too long and are FILLED with interesting facts. I am so glad the author, Ashley Wiggers, was blessed with an incredible gift and hope other students will enjoy it and learn as much as I have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Jayna Weber (Age 12)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003e\"A great complement for any curriculum as well as an interesting and inspiring book in it's own right, so get ready to begin your journey!\" —Debbie Strayer \"Very neat books!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Garnet Morey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003e\"Love these books!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Lisette Blanc\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-text\"\u003eWe've enjoyed using these last year and again this year.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"testimonial-who\"\u003e—Korri Miller\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/4667\/files\/Profiles_v3_sample.pdf?3148213889879207343\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/4667\/files\/Profiles_v3_sample.pdf?3148213889879207343\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eProfiles from History\u003c\/em\u003e sample\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/4667\/files\/profiles-bio-list.pdf?3148213889879207343\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/4667\/files\/profiles-bio-list.pdf?3148213889879207343\"\u003eList of biographies in all three volumes\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GeoMatters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45072346054937,"sku":"XLSP-320","price":68.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/4667\/files\/PROFILESV3.png?v=1682520857","url":"https:\/\/geomatters.com\/products\/profiles-from-history-vol-3","provider":"GeoMatters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
