All of our hardback volumes come with a one-time download code (in the cover) for a digital Companion Guide* loaded with curriculum for all ages! But, if the code has been used, this is the product you’re looking for.
*Before you add this product to your cart, please consider the variables listed below (ie. Format, Edition.) This is a tricky point because in March 2025, Bright Ideas Press released a NEW Second Edition of our Volume IV Companion Guide! (Don’t be confused! The Student Reader is still in its First Edition; only the Companion Guide was updated.) The Second Edition Companion Guide offers you an improved format, updated activities, revised mapping exercises, new literature ideas, etc. We recommend the Second Edition UNLESS you’re in a group that is using the First Edition. The editions are different enough by page number, activity names, mapping exercises, etc. that participants will want to be in the same edition.
Our Student Readers offer you accurate world history from a biblical worldview; our accompanying Companion Guides (in digital format or paper) offer you modern history curriculum for all ages that includes:
Yes. While we feel the Student Reader is a nice visual addition, some families will work through Volume IV by audiobook only. In that case, the Companion Guide will offer those families a wide assortment of curriculum to enhance their studies. In rare instances, some assignments in the Companion Guide, and mapping exercises, will be easier with a Student Reader in hand, but these can be skipped without diminishing the overall value of the Companion Guide.
We understand that files can be lost. With a proof of purchase, we’re happy to send you replacement files at no charge. Email info@themysteryofhistory.com
Not yet, but a paper version of our Volume IV Companion Guide is in the works. We project a release in early fall for the 2024-2025 school year.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS for PDFs:
If you are asked for a password to open one of our PDFs, your computer is probably trying to open the PDF with something other than Adobe Reader. (You don’t need a password for our files!) To avoid this issue, download the most current version of Adobe Reader (https://get.adobe.com/reader) also called “Acrobat Reader.” (We suggest the “free” version; there’s no need for the pro version to operate our files.) Once installed, open the PDF file from within Adobe Reader. If you are asked if you want Adobe Reader to be your default PDF viewer, we recommend you say “yes.”
If your files appear incomplete, follow the steps above to make sure you open them in Adobe Reader (not “Preview” on a MAC.) Large files and collections of files may require you to click on one of the buttons on the home screen to select the page you need.
