HIS Story of the 20th Century - Paperback

by Meredith Curtis (Author)

Conversational-style textbook gives a comprehensive look at the 20th century decade by decade for teens and adults. Written from a biblical worldview, the author establishes a link between faith and the events of history. God was actively involved in the events of the 20th century. Don't let its readability fool you, the author explores philosophies (like eugenics, communism, zionism) behind historical events of this fascinating century.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, men were still getting around on horses, excited about new inventions like the telegraph, telephone, sewing machine, and light bulb. The Panama Canal was built. The North and South Poles were explored, and it was easier to travel than ever before. And can you believe it? The Wright brothers invented the airplane. By the end of the twentieth century, men would walk on the moon, travel at the speed of sound, use compact home computers, and enjoy the benefits of satellite communication. Times sure changed in the twentieth century.
