Children should not just read about history, they should live it. In The Story of Civilization, the stories that have shaped humanity come alive like never before. Author Phillip Campbell uses his historical expertise and story-telling ability together in tandem to present the content in a fresh and thrilling way.  
 
The Story of Civilization reflects a new emphasis in presenting the history of the world as a thrilling and compelling narrative. Within each chapter, children will encounter short stories that place them directly in the shoes of historical figures, both famous and ordinary, as they live through legendary battles and invasions, philosophical debates, the construction of architectural wonders, the discovery of new inventions and sciences, and the exploration of the world. 
 
Volume IV: The History of the United States transfers the journey over to the New World. Beginning with Columbus when he sailed the open blue and extending into the present day, this volume tells the thrilling tale of our nation, both the good and the bad. Children will be introduced to heroic American saints like Juan Diego, Peter Claver, and Elizabeth Ann Seton, explorers like Lewis and Clark and Neil Armstrong, and a whole host of US presidents, as well as relive some of the most significant events in our country’s past, like the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the assassination of President Lincoln, the Civil Rights Movement, the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, and many more.   
 
The strength of the content lies not only in the storybook delivery but also in the way it presents history through the faithful prism of the Church. Have you always wanted your children to learn about world history from a Catholic perspective? Here, you’ll have the trusted resource you’ve always wanted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible History Text!
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2023
I used this history text (SOCV4) with grades 3, 1, & K. My preschooler would often sit and listen to parts as well. Phillip Campbell does a phenomenal job of fitting the history of the United States into 36 chapters. I learned so much alongside my kids. There were occasionally parts that we skipped over, or I gave an abridged version of (not because they were inappropriate, but because my kids needed to gain some years before they were ready for certain realities of things that had happened in histories). I didn't black out these parts in their books, so if they really wanted to read them they could. We use the other volumes of this history series and look forward to coming back to this book in a few years (after redoing V1-3).

In case anyone was curious, we followed the following schedule in our homeschool:
Monday-Listen to audiobook (purchased separately)
Tuesday-Read Text Aloud Together & Journaled
Wednesday-Video Lectures & Potentially Activity Book Page(s) (both purchased separately)
Thursday-Test (purchased separately)

We love this series and would highly recommend it to other Catholic homeschoolers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging, Accurate, Immersive History!
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2023
The Story of Civilization series by Phillip Campbell is phenomenal. I struggled to find a whistory curriculum with the perfect balance of history focus without being anti-Catholic. SOC fit the bill perfectly. The best part is that it doesn't read as a typical dry history book. it's an engaging summary of history with windows into the lives of those that lived it. It really allows you to retain and immerse yourselves into history, and enjoy it! My boys (other than the oblivious (toddlers) especially love the audio version, complete with sound effects and all! My oldest (12) utilizes and enjoys the lecture series and tests via our homeschool group, while my 9 and 7 year olds use the activity book and various activities from the Teacher's Manual to enhance the chapters each week. We've now gone through all four volumes, and each is just as good as the last! Phillip Campbell is a phenomenal author, and history nerd, that never disappoints.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suitable across many grade levels
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2023
I am a homeschool tutor at a Catholic co-op. I teach history to grades 3-7, and they are usually all in the same class. Think one-room sschoolhouse! :) I bought the Volume 1 when it first came out to use in my class and needless to say it was a huge hit! I went on to teach all 4 books over the years, and will be doing Volumes 1 and 3 again next year. I do not use any of the additional resources for the books, as I prefer to write my own lessons and quizzes and I like to add my own activities for each class. I am so glad there is an alternative history series for people who want unapologetically Catholic perspectives!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this book and the whole series!
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2023
We love this book and the whole series! 100% RECOMMEND!! The kids (have used with ages 4-13) have really enjoyed learning about history with Story of Civilization. We have both the physical book and the audiobook. The audiobooks are literally the whole text book read aloud and also dramatized, which make the story even more exciting. They have asked to listed to the audiobooks several times each! The timelines that match the books are a great visual aid too.

I bought the audiobooks for each level. They're great for listening in the car. Even my older kids listen. I've learned so much and really enjoy the storytelling style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great history book!
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2020
We love all the products by Phil Campbell, and as an online teacher at Homeschool Connections, he is my kids and their friends' favorite!

This history was really great, easy to read, interesting for all of the family, and very informative. It had a lot of Catholic perspectives like saints in the era, but not whitewashing over mistakes the Church made.

Highly recommend this series and this book.
