About World History: A Gospel Perspective

From the publisher's feed

What would a high-school world history course sound like if the teacher also shared how the restored gospel ties into the amazing stories of humanity's history? Made with members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in mind (but open to all listeners!), we explore what ancient and modern revelation can share about the captivating struggle of humanity from its earliest beginnings all the way through the present day.
