Summary: Review from the Publisher
Comment: This fast-paced, enjoyable, highly readable and fascinating Catholic world history is being snapped up by Catholic home schooling parents for their high school children. Makes excellent, informative reading for adults too. Covers largely Western world history since the coming of Christ - and all from a Catholic viewpoint. Unabashedly proud of our brilliant Catholic heritage, this work examines all historical developments from the point of the Church and the enhancement or decline of the influence of the Church upon the historical scene. Whereas most secular histories written today give but grudging acknowledgment to the role of the Catholic Church in forming Western (and therefore much of modern) civilization, this book makes the contribution of Christ and His Church the central aspect of ALL history - which indeed it is! In truth the Catholic Church is the elephant in the duck pond of history and Christ the King - Lord of History pays homage to this fact A great book for students, for parents, for history buffs, and for all Catholic adults who want a good overview of world history that shows the tremendous influence of the Catholic Church upon the last 2,000 years!
Also Available: The Workbook for Christ the King, Lord of History!!

Summary: Readable but problematical
Comment: As a traditionalist Catholic and a professional historian, I cannot recommend this book whole heartedly.
This book is a passable Catholic introduction to world history. Maybe I should say, a Catholic tweak on world history. By trying to Catholicize history, the author provides a fresh look but makes no contribution and actually distorts many issues.
There are major advantages to this book. It gives a point of view not normally found in other texts. It covers history in a readable style. It is primarily a survey book.
There are major cons. The author ignores the contributions of major civilizations or glosses oevr them. The author also attributes ideas to time periods where they did not enter into play. Take, for example, the idea of distributism.
I would recommend this book as additional reading but not as the main textbook in schools or hoemschool history programs.
Rating: 5
Summary: An outstanding Western Civilization text. . .
Comment: . . .for homeschooling parents, especially those teaching from a Catholic perspective. If you're looking for political correctness and watered-down minimalism, give this one a miss!
Mrs. Carroll has a wonderful narrative style of reading which is most engaging. This book will probably interest even the most "anti-history" student! While the book is geared for the highschool age, my 7th grader made good use of it over the past year.
Highly recommended
