Big Book of History By Master Books

This history book is a huge time-line that can be pulled out and looked at. It is 15 feet long covering the time from Creation to Modern Computers. I, at first, was not very happy with this product. I was expected a history book that included a time-line, not a time-line that is the history book. However, upon closer inspection, what history book lines up what happened in the Bible with the events of history. None of them! The first thing I noticed on this time-line is that it says, “Adam surely knew Methuselah, who was alive when Noah lived. The account of creation was easily passed down.” There are also sections for Did You Know and each time-line is broken down into Biblical-Christianity events, World Events, Inventions/Technology, and Civilizations/Empires. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys history but who would also like to know how those events line up with Biblical events. And, this pulls out into a 15 foot time-line to make it easier to follow along.

A Century Turns by William J Bennett

“A Century Turns” is a book about the historical events over the last 20 years. This book, by William J Bennett, talks about the changes in politics, economics, war, and other facets that transformed America. If you enjoy a good history book, this book is for you. Everything is discussed—from the 1988 election to the 2008 Presidential Race.

I was hooked on this book from the very beginning. Bennett’s writing style makes for an easy read, but his subjects keep you interested. He is very knowledgeable about the multifaceted events of what is going on. Reading about the true events that have occurred in the last 20 years brought back many emotions. The terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the OJ Simpson car chase are just a few events discussed. If you want to read more about Bill Clinton, George W Bush Sr. and Jr., and President Barack Obama this is the book to read!
