    Yeah!!!!! I have Ancient Times and could so use Story of the World 2. I’ve bought a LOT from Peace Hill – I am a real Classical Child advocate. In fact, I will be taking these books to Africa to use them to teach some village children.

  4. Becca

    we’re using the 1st grade version of several of these this year for the first time; winning 2nd grade would be fabulous! Thanks!!

  5. Monica Duenes

    Just finished Vol. 1! So excited to be able to win Vol. 2 and really excited about Writing with Ease!!

  9. Marina

    Would love to see what Hill Press is all about! I definitely need the help!!! I’m about to enter in the world of homeschooling my two boys!

  13. AmyLyn Reynolds

    This is our first year of homeschooling and I’m still looking for a core curriculum. This looks like it would be an amazing start!

  14. Deanna

    What a wonderful giveaway. We borrowed the ancient times from the library and absolutely loved it! This set will be such a blessing to us! Thank you.

  17. Erin

    My little ones won’t ever be old enough for second grade will they?!?!?! But on the off chance they get to that point, it would be cool to win. =)

  18. Amanda

    This would be fabulous to win! I actually have all of these already but have friends I’d love to gift this to!

  19. Jessica

    Peace, be still my beating heart! My second grade daughter would love this, especially since she’s the oldest of four and has been helping out a TON with her twin toddler siblings! We bought Story of the World Vol. 1, read by Jim Weiss and we love it, so this would be a timely blessing. Merry Christmas!

  22. Cari

    Wow! I am so excited about this giveaway. I have a first-grade girl who would be very ready for this in the coming year! We’re presently loving the First Language Lessons Level and plan to continue forward next year.

  24. Lucy

    My son is currently reading a borrowed book 4 – but I’d love to add the whole series to our library! Thanks for doing this!

  26. Jennifer

    We’re using ‘The Ordinary Parent’s Guide…’ and we LOVE it! How fantastic it would be to share this resource with a friend!

  29. Stacy

    I use Peace Hill for my history and writing/grammar — it is well thought out and easy to use. I highly recommend all their products.

  34. Natalia

    We have previously used some Peace Hill publications, and they are fantastic. My son is at the stage where the language lesson books would be perfect, and the history books cover his favourite stage of history (Middle Ages in both Europe and Japan!) so this would be well received, and used, in this household!

  150. Amber

    This is our first year, and we’re using the SOTW Vol 1, and we love it. We’re looking into using the rest of their curriculum next year. If we were to win this, it’d help us out a lot. So here’s me crossing my fingers 🙂 Thanks for the chance 🙂

    I just found your blog and I’m loving it!

    Have a wonderful holiday season!

  185. Wendy R

    OOOHHH OOOHHHH I want this!! A friend of mine recommended Ordinary Parents Guide to teaching reading after I went to our local school district for help with my daughter’s reading and being told that I would need years of education to be able to teach my daughter to read at home and my best bet would be to send her to their reading program every day for 90mins (mind you she is only a first grader) and of course due to the hectic life of a homeschooling family I have not had a chance to go out and get it – I would love the opportunity to win this book and also show the school system that yes an ordinary parent like myself can teach my child to read without several years of education 😉
    Thank you for the opportunity to prove that homeschoolers can do it and don’t need Masters behind our names to provide children with excellent educations!!!

  186. Diana L.

    WOW, just what we needed, I have looked over and REALLY LOVE the Story of the World Series and Writing With Ease looks wonderful as well! Thank you for the string of give away items, fun, fun FUN!

  208. Molly Lemen

    oh my goodness i would really love to win. I have the 1st story of the world and i love how it gives just enough information to really learn something but not so much that it stats to get boring. it really is just perfect. I could absolutely use a 2cd grade package!

    What a wonderful giveaway. I have heard great things about the books mentioned and the company as well. Thank you!

  259. Marla

    This is the curriculum that my friend suggested. She is a physician and said that after looking at several, this was the only one she would ever use!! Thanks.

  261. Connie McAlpine

    We have used Peace Hill press material and really enjoy the story-telling format of the history books. The material covers a broad amount, but other recommended resources are often available at my local library, and the hands-on activities are varied to interest and challenge any young child. I hope to use all four volumes!

  262. Robin

    I’m very excited at the possibility of more Peace Hill Press books! I was a confirmed “traditional” homeschooler for many years, and SOTW has freed us by teaching me how to educate my children using different methods.
