America in God’s Providence

A Christian Worldview History of America (1492–Present)

2-Volume High School American History Curriculum
Volume 1: From the Colonial Era to 1800
Volume 2: From 1800 to the Present

What if your students learned American history with God at the center of the story?

America in God’s Providence is a comprehensive Christian worldview history curriculum for grades 10–12 that traces the rise, struggles, blessings, and decline of the United States through the lens of God’s providence and the authority of Scripture.

This expanded second edition is now available as a beautifully designed two-volume set, covering over 500 years of American history — from Christopher Columbus and the colonial era to modern America in the 21st century.

Unlike secular history textbooks that leave God out of the story, this curriculum presents history as it truly is: His Story. Students will see how worldviews shape nations, how God raises up and brings down kingdoms, and how faith, repentance, courage, and compromise have influenced the course of America’s history. 

What Makes This Curriculum Different?

This is not just a collection of dates and events.

Throughout the course, students will explore the spiritual and moral forces behind history while learning how biblical truth shaped Western civilization, the founding of America, and the nation’s future.

Students will encounter stories such as:

• The remarkable conversion of Nathan Bedford Forrest and the reconciliation that followed
• How “Roe” and “Doe” later became pro-life advocates
• The story behind Chick-fil-A’s rise while honoring God’s Day
• Desmond Doss and the true story behind Hacksaw Ridge
• The redemption story of one of America’s most notorious serial killers
• And more than 100 additional stories highlighting God’s providential work in history

The curriculum consistently emphasizes that nations are accountable to God and that history cannot rightly be understood apart from Christ and His sovereign rule. 

A Biblical Approach to American History

Students will study:

• The Protestant foundations of early America
• The colonial era and founding documents
• The American Revolution and Constitutional Convention
• The Civil War and Reconstruction
• Industrialization and modern America
• The rise of secularism and Post-Christian culture
• Missions, revival movements, and cultural transformation
• The influence of Christianity on freedom, government, education, and family

This curriculum presents history through a thoroughly biblical lens, integrating hundreds of Scripture references throughout the text while encouraging students to think critically about culture, government, liberty, and worldview.
