This is our third year with My Father's World. I have never been disappointed. It keeps getting better and better. The study of history in context with the Bible is bringing the Old Testament to life for us.

I love the organized lesson planning and the chronology of history. The 'flow' of learning is effortless.

I really like how God and the History of Art ties in with the history. It really helps to see how art progressed and changed over the various time periods.

Just wanted to let you know how very much I have enjoyed the Creation to the Greeks curriculum with my three children. It has been a blessing to us beyond words! I can honestly say that this is my first year of looking forward to homeschooling. I had to let you know how much it is appreciated! Thank you again for putting this all together.

My wife and I have been homeschooling our daughter from pre-K through now, all through My Father's World. My wife has been doing the lion's share of the schooling! We are so, so very pleased with and grateful for My Father's World. Your curriculum is top-notch, and your hearts seem golden. Thank you for the love you pour into the work you do, and into the families that utilize your curriculum. Our daughter is growing, and growing in the Lord, and you are a part of that in her life. It is Kingdom work, and we are profoundly grateful for your part in it.
