What in the World’s Going on Here? [audio tapes]by Diana WaringDiana Waring History Alive!Since worldview-based history is a new way of studying history for many of my readers, I highly recommend to you Diana Waring’s tape series, What in the World’s Going on Here?, Volumes One and Two. In each volume, on four, 60-minute audio cassettes, Diana teaches us “how to re-evaluate world history from an eternal perspective: God sovereignly ruling over the affairs of men and nations.” Volume One covers four time spans: creation to the destruction of Assyria, the rise of Babylon to Jesus Christ, destruction of Jerusalem to the fall of Constantinople, and the Renaissance/Reformation to Queen Victoria. Volume Two covers Napoleon through World War II, which roughly corresponds to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Volume Two also discusses the modern missions movement. This is sort of a whirlwind tour through history, summarizing and relating key events in chronological order, to show how all of history relates to God’s purposes. Diana directs her dynamic presentations to parents, although teens should listen along with parents as we relearn history together. See also the review of Waring’s Getting Off the Textbook Interstate: History Via the Scenic Route.
