Nothing New Press

Nothing New Press Award-winning histories on a Biblical foundation. Our books bring the history of Western Civilization to life! Currently we are reprinting H. A.

It is out of the conviction that the ancient paths are of paramount importance to the education of our children that Nothing New Press was begun. Our books and curriculum materials emphasize the knowledge of the history of mankind and Western Civilization, beginning with the first historical act of import, God’s creation of the universe out of nothing. A complete understanding of where we have bee

n is the only adequate preparation for facing the uncertainties of the future, as we head into the twenty-first century. Original materials, such as All Through the Ages History Through Literature Guide, have been developed by Christine Miller, a college-educated homeschooling mom of three who has been homeschooling since 1988, in response to the curriculum needs that experienced homeschooling mothers share. Other materials being planned by other homeschooling moms and experienced educators will also become available as they are completed. Our life-calling of being wives and mothers, homemakers and homeschool teachers necessarily takes priority in our lives, therefore new curricula are completed without regard to deadlines as our free time permits. For the same reason, Nothing New Press currently does not exhibit at homeschool curriculum fairs, although other retailers who carry our materials do so. Inquire at their booths to examine any Nothing New Press books personally. Further hallmark of Nothing New Press materials is our attempt to make available again the wonderful curriculum that was commonly used in schools in centuries past, when academic standards were more rigorous and the acquiring of a Biblical worldview was considered just as important as the acquiring of reading, writing, and arithmetic skills. Guerber’s engaging histories of Western Civilization for children, out of print for almost a hundred years. The exceptional Elson Primary & Grammar School Readers, marvelous copywork resources out of print for over eighty years, are also forthcoming.

The Story of the Renaissance and Reformation
https://www.nothingnewpress.com/shop/p/the-story-of-the-renaissance-and-reformation

The Story of the Renaissance and Reformation focuses on the pivotal events of 15th and 16th century Europe, and picks up the narrative history where The Story of the Middle Ages leaves off. As the story of Renaissance Europe was never told in a single volume of Guerber's histories, but rather piecemeal throughout several volumes, Christine Miller has taken those portions of The Story of Old France and The Story of the English by H. A. Guerber, which do tell the story of the Renaissance and Reformation, and has woven them together into a single, seamless narrative, carefully preserving Guerber's own style.

Other sources for additional material include Charlotte Yonge's A Young Folk's History of Germany, The Story of the Christians and Moors of Spain, and Frederic Seebohm's The Era of the Protestant Revolution, among others (an extensive bibliography of sources is included). Where necessary, the chapters authored by C. M. Yonge and F. Seebohm have been re-written in Guerber's unique style to preserve the continuity and consistency of the narrative throughout.

Unlocking the Power of the Mind
https://alittleperspective.com/unlocking-the-power-of-the-mind/

The mind, as all human beings are born, is a passive receiver of the suggestions of its environment. It functions like a sense organ: the eye sees whatever is placed before it, the ear hears whatever sound enters it, and the mind thinks whatever thoughts are suggested to it and registered through the senses. It has no inherent power to originate other thoughts or to grasp itself.

The word 'education' derives from the Latin ēducere (ē- 'out' + ducere 'to lead')—a leading out. Out of what? Out of the native powerlessness and passivity of the mind into which we are born. By contrast, 'inducation' (from indūcere, 'to lead into') would be a deliberate leading in of ideas or formation.

But what frequently occurs in the Prussian-style model of compulsory schooling is neither true education nor even thoughtful induction. It is something closer to what we might call a 'reliction' or 'being left in' (relictus in): twelve years of carefully crafted busyness designed not to disturb the mind in its original state as a mere sense organ. The result is that the mind continues to receive whatever its environment suggests, registers those inputs as its own thoughts, and therefore accepts them uncritically as true.

Thank you so very much for the kind words, M. B.!

The Bible for Beginners series is based on the premise that anyone can read and understand the Bible for themselves. It's the greatest Great Book of Western Civilization and deserves its top spot! But often, the 4,000-2,000 intervening years, and competing denominational interpretations create confusion, not clarity.

You’re not alone. We’re going to walk together so the confusion melts away and the joy shows up.

We simply read one chapter a day together. The short, clear notes highlight history and the culture of the time, pointing out the beautiful Teaching Tools God Himself embedded in the text, and gently clear away the fog of later traditions so you can hear what the Scripture is actually saying—in its own voice.

No prior Bible knowledge needed. No pressure to “get it all” on the first pass. Just steady, joyful progress through the whole Book, one chapter at a time, letting the Word speak for itself.

Whether you’ve never opened a Bible before or you’ve tried and felt overwhelmed, you’ll find a clear path here—and plenty of “aha!” moments along the way.

Ready? The adventure begins soon. Watch this space for more details!

This line doesn't actually appear in Guerber's original. I took Guerber for a base, but then corrected its history where needed, and infused it with the Biblical worldview throughout, sometimes adding new chapters, sometimes adding clarifying lines such as this one, everywhere needed.

Many of our families who choose to use the less-expensive eBooks print them at home and put them in notebook binders to still have that printed-book experience. That's such a great idea!
