The Story of the Ancient World

The Story of the Ancient World

$18.95 – $28.95

drop cap F | nothingnewpress.comFrom the creation of the world through the fall of the Persian empire at the hands of Alexander the Great in 331 BC, The Story of the Ancient World retells as an engaging narrative the history of mankind’s beginning, the rise of the nations, and the story of the great ancient civilizations of the Sumerians, the Hebrews, the Egyptians, the Phoenicians, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, and the Persians.

Old Testament history is taken as authoritative, and the history of the other great ancient civilizations is also told, woven in and out of the Old Testament story at the proper places in the narrative.

As the story of the entire ancient world was never completely told in a single volume of Guerber’s histories, Christine Miller has taken Guerber’s The Story of the Chosen People and has included chapters relating the history of the Sumerians, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Persians, and has woven them all together into a single, seamless narrative, carefully preserving Guerber’s own style. An extensive bibliography of sources is included.

As with the other Guerber histories published by Nothing New Press, The Story of the Ancient World is illustrated throughout with famous paintings of its historical subjects, and photographs of the places it describes. Not only are maps present in the beginning of the book, but throughout the text as well, which greatly aid in making the narrative more clear. And as with the other Guerber histories, the pronunciation of personal and place names are carefully marked in the text upon their first occurrence. A complete timeline of the events and persons mentioned in the text, a comprehensive Recommended Reading list keyed to the chapters, and a thorough bibliography and index rounds out the book.

Customer Comments

dropcap-e-124ptxcerpts from the e-mail and notes we have received about The Story of the Ancient World:

“Thank you Christine! We got The Story of the Ancient World and are happy as usual! Thank you for all your hard work!”

– Tamara D.

“I just wanted to tell you that I received The Story of the Ancient World. It is just beautiful! You did a lovely lovely job and it was worth the wait!”

– Kate K.

“We are enjoying The Story of the Ancient World so much! It is written so that the young can read and understand great historical truths.”

– Lori M.

“Story of the Ancient World is a great introduction to world history. All ages in our family enjoyed listening to it read.”

– Amy H.

“Oh my goodness, I love Christine Miller’s books. We have All Through the Ages, and The Story of the Ancient World. I love that we can use them and our Bibles side by side.”

– Katie M.

“Learning history from a Biblical perspective is very difficult with most of the current options that are available, without major edits which take copious amounts of time. Having a resource that has already done the edits and focusing on His hand in history frees up a lot of time to concentrate on other areas.”

– Jeremy C.

“By the way I love The Story of the Ancient World, and even more importantly my 3rd and 4th grader love it as well.”

– April M.
