Literature is the handmaid of history: this presents the rich elementary, middle school and high school Christian History Literature program originally designed by Rosalie J. Slater. Amplified with practical models and methods of teaching, sample student notebook pages and step-by-step teacher direction, it inspires a high Christian standard of language by building a broad vocabulary and cultivating English language skills (grammar, syntax, orthography and composition). This guide teaches literature as history, the literature of the Bible, and the Bible as the source and seedbed of literature, liberty and poetry. It instills a love of the Bible, classics and excellent literature.
