A Child’s Geography Volume 2: Explore the Holy Land

Description

Sample

In the lively style of Hillyer, A Child’s Geography: Explore the Holy Land will take you and your fledgling geographers on amazing adventures through our Father’s World.

If we found the source of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, might we find the Garden of Eden? Why is that wall in Jerusalem called the Wailing Wall? What unbelievable wonders might we find in the desert sands of Egypt? What do Babylon, Nineveh and Ur all have in common? What country in the world is the holy land of millions but you won’t find a church anywhere? Can you follow Moses’ trail to find the Lost City of Stone?

Over the course of 16 chapters, explore six Middle Eastern countries with:

• vivid scenes and engaging text of a “living-book”
• narration prompts
• note booking and mapping activities
• “Bringing it Home” suggestions that focus on art, music, poetry and food of each country
• Prayer Walk for each country
