The American Venture: The Rise and Development of the United States of America weaves the story of the Catholic Church in America together with standard historical themes. It includes discussions of the U.S. and state constitutions, a civics treatment of the U.S. Constitution, and historical treatments of European, non-European, and Native American cultures in the United States.
Catholic Schools Deserve The Best Textbooks
Building and growing on the foundation of the Church gives students the opportunities to see how historical events transpired through the lens of Christ. Every chapter and every lesson bring about a new way of looking for how the Lord worked through history and continues to do so. The Catholic Textbook Project was created to encourage learning as a fun experience as well as one that keeps the hearts of young Catholics open to the truth and to hope.
