Ancient Israel Living Books

In trying to pull together our History curriculum we are having to pull from different sources. I want the kids to enjoy books in relation to what we are studying at the time, so I've been on the hunt for books to add to our GreenLeaf Old Testament/Ancient Israel curriculum. This is what I've found so far.

Our main resource (also called a Spine) will of course be our Holy Bible.

Added to that will be:
We will read snippets of Adam and His Kin first throughout our Bible/History studies. The book is based on Bible, historical and archaeological facts. It covers time from Adam to Noah.

Tirzah and her people, the Israelite's, are Egyptian slaves. This historical fiction will give the kids a different perspective on how Moses persuaded Pharaoh to let them go.

This is definitely a book DS will enjoy. This historical fiction takes place during the Biblical time in Judges and follows a fictional character through the battle between the Hebrews and Canaanites.

 

This fiction book is about the wife of Shem and her experiences upon The Ark. 

 

Looking forward to this read. We will save it for later though, when we begin our NT studies. Its about an angry Israelite seeking revenge but then his heart begins to change as he hears the words of Jesus of Nazareth.  

I'm on the hunt for more and will dig through my TruthQuest book to see what else might work!
