  • At this time, I only intend to complete the American History series. If, after this series is complete, I feel there is a need and want for more history books in the Living Streams series, I will pray about writing those as well.

  • At this time, I recommend students create their own notebooking journals from a blank hardbound journal, such as those I offer in my store. If I have a lot of requests for a dedicated notebooking journal to go with this curriculum, I will create one.

  • Not at this time. I expect to have one completed in 2026.

  • Many stories are appropriate for sensitive children. However, this book is the genuine, true history of the founding of this country. Unfortunately, it isn’t always a pleasant story. While I worked hard to tone down any violence, suffering, and injustice, these are all a part of America’s story. I did ensure that an eternal perspective and the love of Jesus is woven into every chapter.

    If your children are very sensitive, you may need to pre-read some chapters to ensure they are not upset by the things that occur in the story.
