The Mystery of History
The Mystery of History is an award-winning world history curriculum—written from a biblical worldview—to guide students through a meaningful, engaging, and historically accurate journey from ancient times to modern.
As a living subject, The Mystery of History is designed for the whole family—with age appropriate activities for hands-on fun, enriching research, and purposeful discussion.
This series is historically accurate and chronological to help students trace cause and effect, relevance, and the timeless significance of world history.
Unlike most programs, The Mystery of History integrates sacred and secular history on one continuous timeline—to reveal God’s sovereign hand in history.
"Now to Him, who is able to establish you according to my gospel in the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandments of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith-to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen." (Romans 16:25-27)

"Thank you for the really fun history book. I didn't like world history until we got your book. Now it's my favorite subject."
"Your history curriculum rocks!!!!!! It's so learnable and packed with so many interesting little tidbits of useful information that really help me."
"I love how you write! It makes me feel as if you are right here telling me the stories. The Mystery of History is not just a dull, dry history book."
"One of my favorite activities was about the early crusaders. My brothers and sister and I walked one and a half miles with 20lbs in our backpacks and no shoes on our feet. I learned that the crusaders walked really far and it must of hurt when they walked on gravel."
"I can't thank you enough for making history so "alive" and exciting for us this year. I am loving seeing all the dots connect. Our girls are in 1st and 3rd. We could do The Mystery of History all day...if we didn't have other things to do like math and homework."
"The Mystery of History has been my absolute favorite part of homeschooling my 3 daughters. History was just a bunch of dry facts, dates, and dead guys but Linda has written her books in such a beautifully captivating way that it's my favorite subject now, and my girls have enjoyed it."
"It’s very hard to find a ‘one-size-fits-all’ curriculum, however, I think that Linda Hobar has done a GREAT job of crossing several boundaries while also making the text very enjoyable and enticing to the children! She covers the gamut of every learning style out there!"
"We love you MOH!! With eight children, it's so user-friendly. It's a favorite w/ our family, from our nursing baby, several toddlers, and up to our 12-year-old. My newly retired Army husband loves it too!"
The Mystery of History was designed to teach students not only about history, but about God’s presence in history, and how He reveals Himself to mankind through Jesus Christ. Students will get the facts of history and the feelings it provokes as they sift through the highs, the lows, and the in-betweens of world history from a biblical worldview.
