- "You are doing a fantastic job with these materials. The Remember the Days textbook is by far the most interesting history text we’ve ever used... Our youngest is 12 and we have used BiblioPlan this year for her. I don’t like to let her read the text alone because then I miss out! We will continue to use your materials for sure!" --Lori in WA
- "This is my 22nd year of homeschooling and our third year using BiblioPlan for history and geography. In my experience BiblioPlan is far and away the most academically sound, well researched, thorough, balanced, and fair in depth history curricula available to home educators. Please extend my sincere gratitude to Rob and Julia Nalle. My only regret is that BiblioPlan was not available when my older sons were in school." --Jillian
- "I know that I have raved before about using BP Ancients with my 5 year old, so I will leave that alone for right now. I wanted to share how amazing this curriculum has been for ME and my understanding of Scripture. As I read the Bible, and particularly a lot of Old Testament that is really tough to chew, my understanding has been greatly enhanced by the historical context that I now have after going through this material. I have talked to so many people in different Bible study groups about it and helped them make more sense of the Bible by sharing this context with them. I have a single friend who wants to borrow our Companion when we finish this year to read it for herself and expand her knowledge of the world events that surrounded and directly impacted what we read in Scripture. My own walk with the Lord has been seriously strengthened through the knowledge that I have gained this year. The public school system really failed me, at least in the history department. I am so glad that my children will grow up with BP." --Karen
- "Just had to share with you how wonderfully Biblioplan is working for our family. We finished up our first round of history this past fall, did a short unit on our state history, and then started on Ancients about 8 weeks ago. We are loving it! ...We love the Companion, the associated Bible readings, and the Victor Journey Through the Bible along with the living book suggestions. The maps have the instructions printed right on the map. With five kids doing maps, this has been a huge help since each child has their own set of instructions and they don't need to refer to the teachers book. They are able to do the maps on their own once I briefly explain them as a group. The Cool History questions are great for review and your timeline images are very nicely done. All of my kids have special needs which include ADHD, intellectual disabilities, CP, and dyslexia and Biblioplan works for all of them. Now that I have five children, I no longer have tons of time to plan out my own history curriculum but that is no problem since Biblioplan requires so little planning... for the first time ever, I think I can stay on schedule and we are all enjoying the program. Thank you for you, your husband, and your sons' hard work on all of the parts of this wonderful program. You have done a fabulous job and I finally have the history curriculum I have always wanted." --Amy
- "Biblioplan is the perfect blend of variety, versatility and comprehensiveness. The guide is loaded with coordinated resources to give students as much or as little depth as they are ready for. The Companions are high quality, color, and bursting with high interest information and photos. While the Cool Histories books allow customization for various ages and ability levels, the discussion guide brings the students back together to share their new knowledge as a family. The recommended readers and read alouds are fantastic and we especially love the out of print recommendations that would otherwise be lost to lesser more recent works. Of all we have looked at and all we have tried Biblioplan is hands downs the best history out there for the multi-level family homeschool." --Kim
- "If you are looking for a Christian-focused history curricula that blends both the secular and the sacred, you will find it here... Year Two covers the following subjects: Medieval History, Church History, Geography, Biography, Literature, Art History— and more— all with the focus of glorifying God." -- from this review in The Old Schoolhouse magazine
- "While the BiblioPlan Family Guide gives detailed page suggestions for each weekly topic from other homeschool-friendly history books, the program is best complemented when paired with The BiblioPlan Companion, Year One: A Text for Ancient History. This 354-page softcover resource is your go-to book for the stories behind all those history dates. It is hard to explain what is covered in each lengthy lesson because they are so thorough. Blending the best of secular ancient history and biblical history, your family will not only read about the prophets and Kings of Israel, but you will also come to understand Israel’s place in the history of the ancients. Do you know the tie in between the Assyrians and the Samaritans? You will find that out in the Companion! This is just one example of the many you will discover when you dive into this blended history resource. It brings to life the work of God and helps us place His people and events in their proper setting for better understanding, and growth in faith!" -- from this review in The Old Schoolhouse magazine
- "BiblioPlan offers a unique approach for teaching history for grades K through 12 together." -- from this review in Cathy Duffy Reviews
- "I wanted to let you know how much I am impressed with both the scholarship of the Companion and the charts showing what was happening in both secular and Biblical history. I find it easier to use than the other curriculum and for teaching elementary students I find the Companion is a wonderful resource." -- Joelle
- "I have to tell you, I absolutely love Biblioplan. I recommend it all the time. My four kids are 8, 12 (dyslexic), 13 (Asperger’s), and 13. The curriculum gives me the flexibility to teach them all at their own levels with very little sweat and tears from me!!" -- Gail
- "I am LOVING BP!!!!!! We have had the hardest time finding a History curriculum that fits us! I so wish this was available in our earlier home education years. There are many wonderful History curriculum's out there but this one has it all!!! ... BP is EXACTLY what I have been looking for all our 13 yrs. of home educating! I am NOT a lesson planner, nor do I enjoy the frustration of having to hunt down books, maps, and making timelines! BP has made it all so simple and concise and easy to follow for any age group. My daughter is enjoying her lessons and I LOVE that we will have a finished timeline and books of maps from the "Beginning of Time" to present day. The colorful artwork and boxes of information are SO nice to study and look at. I love that the lit books are all conveniently listed on CBD and Amazon for easy purchasing! I was also able to borrow some from a friend. I am done looking for another history program!!! FINALLY!!!" -- Donna
- "BiblioPlan already has the selections of what to read laid out and paced out for you… It was designed by a group of brilliant home school moms who generously share with the rest of us how they implement TWTM approach to history..." -- from a review in The Well Trained Mind newsletter
- "...Biblical history is an essential part of our home school and these ladies have integrated it seamlessly into their overall plan... I give this program all the stars possible. It is versatile, flexible and very user-friendly. I had myself trying out the plan within hours of its arrival in my home. If you, like me, love the classical model of education and long to follow the Well-Trained Mind but lack the time or resources or energy to put to all together, relax!" - The Old Schoolhouse Magazine Review (Read the full article at http://www.thehomeschoolmagazine.com/Homeschool_Reviews/reviews.php?rid=383)

- "I want to thank you for the quality work you have put into your product. We have been able to study history from such a Biblical perspective, and we get into great discussions. My children are learning valuable, lifelong lessons, not just memorizing facts. It would be much more difficult for me without the organization and thought you have put into BiblioPlan. History is our favorite subject!" -- Becky
