The Big Book of History is written by Laura Welch and published by New Leaf Publishing Group.

The Big Book of History is a 15 foot fold out time-line. You can use it like a book and flip through the pages, or you can fold it completely out. It is a time-line that covers from Creation to the time that it was published. It as 4 different lines and each line represent 4 different events. You have Biblical events, inventions, world events and civilizations and empires.

This time-line book isn't just...more

"Big Book of History" is a timeline of earth's history that measures 14 inches tall and 15 feet long. It's folded up inside a hard cover book to protect the chart, but it can also be looked at inside the cover a "page" at a time. It covers history from 4004 B.C. for Creation to 2010 A.D.

The timeline covered significant Biblical events, world events, inventions, and beginnings of civilizations and empires. The date for each event is easy to spot, and the timeline is easy to follow. The events se...more

"So, son, what is your favorite thing about this BIG Book of History?"

"It's FIFTEEN-FOOT FOLD-OUT!!! That's longer than my bed! Awesome!"

Yep, straight out of the little horse's mouth. You heard it here first!

Seriously, though, there are several other things my son, Mystery Ranger Buster, and I like about this unique book published by Master Books.

Why is it fifteen-feet long? Well, it has not just one timeline but four parallel timelines of our history from creation to our current day. You'll hav...more

The "Big Book Of History: A 15' Fold-Out Time-Line From Creation To Modern Computers"
by Laura Welch is a color coded mix of secular history with Biblical history that will enlivened both your Bible studies and history studies.

I enjoy studying history and since we’ve been using our current history curriculum these past two years the children have also been enjoying the study of history. We’re currently working through the events through Creation up through the Resurrection of Christ and it’s been neat to see how it all fits, but sometimes we can forget how things go together – such as how secular history coincides with Biblical/Christian history.

Enter Master Books Publishing and their Big Book of History, this is an a...more

Did you know:

• That Adam and Methuselah BOTH knew Noah?
• That China was using kites and dictionaries at the same time that Solomon became king?
• The first Olympics occurred about the same time that Isaiah prophesied about the virgin birth?
• Christians gained religious freedom through Constantine about the same time that the Mayans began developing accurate calendars?
• Archbishop James Ussher published the history of the world during the Golden Age of Piracy?
• That Thomas Edison invented a batter...more

Are your kids interested in History? Do you want them to be? Seriously the Big Book of History is a 15 FOOT fold out time line of history! Kids will go crazy over this thing! The book opens up and you can go page by page (sort of ) or pull the whole thing out for a 15 foot long timeline. It begins with creation and has a ton of information from there all the way to 2010. Each page/ section is full to the edges with historical information, dates, and more.


Want to know what's included? Here's a s...more

As a homeschool dad, I'm always on the lookout for excellent teaching resources.

The Big Book of History is one such resource. I was intrigued, and my kids were fascinated with it.
It's simply this: a fold-out time line of history from Creation through today. With tons of information, and very visually captivating images, this resource will be incredibly useful in our history lessons. Once unfolded, it extends to fifteen feet! It's extremely easy to follow and includes lots of sidebars and mini-ti...more

Big Book of History: A 15 Foot Fold-Out Time-Line from Creation to Modern Computers is a Christian-based child-friendly timeline marking interesting events with colorful illustrations designed for ages 7 to 12. This high quality hard cover measures 14.5 x 9 inches and the inside folded page is made of a very high quality paper similar to the cover of a paperback book.

There are actually four color-coded timelines running parallel to each other: Biblical/Christianity, World Events, Inventions/Tech...more

Big Book of History
By Master Books

This history book is a huge time-line that can be pulled out and looked at. It is 15 feet long covering the time from Creation to Modern Computers. I, at first, was not very happy with this product. I was expected a history book that included a time-line, not a time-line that is the history book. However, upon closer inspection, what history book lines up what happened in the Bible with the events of history. None of them!
The first thing I noticed on this time-l...more

What a neat way to learn history! Big Book of History: A 15 foot fold-out time-line from Creation to Modern Computers from MasterBooks would be a great way to see how our world changed, from creation to current times. Comes from a Christian view-point and a young-earth focus(a literal 24-hour day). Geared toward children ages 7-12. The time-line is colorful, divided into 4 categories, each a different color. They are Biblical/Christianity, World Events,Inventions/Technology and Civilizations/Emp...more

My Thoughts-

I loved the Big Book of History. Its panels folded out fifteen feet and were full of information.

B wanted to take a look at it as soon as I opened the package. He had fun unfolding the time-line and zooming along in history. B and I enjoyed laying on the floor learning about the history of the world.

C and I spent less time as this was not a current interest of hers, but she did enjoy the time she spent with me reading the information she wanted to learn.

I enjoyed everything. I though...more

Fifteen feet of fun await you and your family, with The Big Book of History!




The Big Book of History is a fifteen foot poster that can be read as a poster or as a book! Beginning with creation and going all the way to present day, it is filled with fun facts and important dates, presented attractively, with colorful pictures and more.




I would happily read this book over and over again! It's just too much to fully appreciate the first time through, and I mean this in a totally complimentary way. I...more

In our plan for schooling we will most likely follow a Classical Christian approach with a repeating four stages of history (Ancients ~5000 BC - AD 400, Medieval/Renaissance 400-1600, Late Renaissance/Early Modern 1600-1850, Modern 1850-Present day) and keeping a timeline will be very important to have a tangible way to look at facts. While I am certain we will make some of our own timelines as a craft, I know that I want a reliable reference that we can use both as a guide for making our own, b...more
