About this Blog

When our church started using a "living history" style Vacation Bible School program, I sunk my toes deep into historical research and discovered a love for ancient history. This blog sprung from that.

Whether you're looking for ideas for using Group's Holy Land Adventure VBS programs, adding some Biblical history lessons to your homeschool or Sunday school, or just like to read about daily life in ancient times, I hope you'll enjoy the history, crafts, recipes, costumes, and decor I've collected here. Below on the sidebar are some links to help you navigate this site...
