…it’s the “Amazing Bible World History Timeline” from Bible Charts and Maps!

We have always used various Timelines to go along with our History and Geography Studies because it really does help us to place events into their proper context and chronology. It also allows us to see which individuals were contemporaries (which always surprises me and I really enjoy a good surprise!).  

Using a Timeline along with your curriculum really gives a sense of where things, people and events ‘belong’ in the course of History.

Some of the timelines we have used over the years have been homemade, and some we have purchased. So I was really interested to see what the Timeline from Bible Charts and Maps, would be like. After receiving it to review for the TOS crew, I have come to the conclusion that this sturdy and comprehensive chart is an incredible addition to our study tools!

This laminated wall chart is not made out of poster paper, it is really sturdy. First I hauled it all over our school room to find a good place to put it and I tried putting it up in at least two places before I settled on tacking it to the bulletin board near our Arts and Crafts area. Now it is regularly being pawed over by three kids and a Mom J It looks to me as though it will last through years of this kind of use.  

The timeline goes along well with our “Annuals of the World” by James Ussher and the “Timetables of History“ by Grun, which we are also using.

The chart is a great visual aid and really helps you to see at a glance the timetable of events as recorded in the Scriptures and in secular writings. I like the spiral format of the timeline since it makes it simple to see what was happening in which area of the world during any given time period. It is also easy to compare the events recorded by the writers of Biblical History and contemporary historical events and figures. The Timeline is comprehensive, clear and easy to read giving a true sense of the flow of the history of mankind.

I never wanted a wall timeline because the ones that I have seen are the Banner style and they are looooong! But this timeline fits a “world” of information in a relatively small area, by using a clever spiral to show when world events occurred. It measures 38” by 46” and as you can see from my picture, it just about fits in the area of our Bulletin board. It hangs over a little at the bottom where I used “sticky tack” to hang it.

I am enjoying using it in addition to our other resources and I must say that it is more convenient to glance at the Amazing Bible World History Timeline INDEX (right on the chart) than it is to pull out the timeline books- I may become extremely lazy!

If you order it soon, you can take advantage of the low price of  $29.97 and receive FREE an interactive Holy Land Maps download (lets you see the boundaries “then and now”) and a free digital version of the timeline to download and use on your computer.

If you use a timeline in your Homeschool, or if you have thought about using one, this one is a good choice. It is practical and sturdy, includes Biblical history and chronology alongside other world events and is an easy to read visual aid for your children. The price is very reasonable, as you will see if you compare prices for other timelines.      

This is a resource that I recommend you check out:

I do not receive any compensation for my review, other than I get to keep this great Timeline and the freebies that I mentioned above!

Hope you are having a creative week!
