Know your History
Customer Rating:
This is a great History book because its a great subject, but you need to know that it is a secular look on history. It is biased in lots of areas. If you don't know your history then this book can lead you astray, we are human and no matter how hard we try we will be biased to our beliefs. Just understand that the authors of this book are not Christian and always keep that in mind when reading/studying. Who wrote it? and ask yourself questions, its okay to question authority, not disrespect, but always seeking to know the truth. The events in this history book are need to know, while reading it back it up with other views, as with anything you hear or read. ALWAYS GET THE OTHER SIDE :)
