About Course
Volume III Lectures offer students streaming pre-recorded lectures by Linda Lacour Hobar for every lesson of The Mystery of History Volume III: “The Renaissance, Reformation, and Growth of Nations.” Each lecture is approximately 10-25 minutes long; contains slides to bring history to life; and is filled with factual and inspirational material that goes beyond the Student Reader. (The lectures were not designed to replace the Student Reader, but to enhance it.)

- Viewable through a streaming service to avoid download storage issues
- Unlimited access for as long as the lectures are current and in demand
