• ICLNet's Christian books online--my favorite site.  Bibles, primary source documents, everything!  More than enough treasure for a lifetime's research.  Dialectic up, but links for all!

• If you and your children enjoy praying for different countries of the world, you will enjoy linking up with this page on Operation World's website. Year 2 encourages you to lead your children in prayer for all Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists. This site, for many, will replace the need for a copy of Operation World.

• Contributed by Sue, this site enables you to read about various religions:  BBC Religion and Ethics.  Click on the left side of the page to go to another religion.

• Lizzy recommends the "ism" online book for basic definitions that will help you in your worldview studies.

• Primary Source documents: an exhaustive site for teacher and older students.  Begins at 500 BC and keeps going.  Organizing principle is "documents that pertain to Early American history.  Obviously, a broad view of our "roots!"

• Helpful information on the History of World Missions, including a time line.
