INTERVIEW WITH LINDA LACOUR HOBAR (First Part)

"Linda Lacour Hobar, a native-born Texan, holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor University where she first fell in love with world history. With sixteen years of homeschool experience, seventeen years in ministry with Campus Crusade for Christ, and several years of teaching all ages, Linda brings a wealth of perspective to world history. Her warm, passionate, and personable writing style appeals to students young and old. Linda and her family presently reside in Memphis, Tenesse, where her husband serves as a sports minister." The Mystery of History
1. When did you decide to study History?

Believe it or not, I did not receive much world history growing up. It was a very weak subject in our schools. However, I had a very interesting professor in college who helped me fall in love with the subject. After teaching my children in a homeschool setting, I wanted to study more world history, and eventually I fell deeply in love with the subject and began to write it. I’m still fascinated, and still writing.

Why is it important to study History?

This subject is so important because it should shape the way we think about our present governments, systems, and politics. Without understanding where we have been, we cannot make good decisions about the future. From history, we learn what “not” to do in governing ourselves. It is also the perfect venue to see how the Lord has revealed himself through history – from Bible times to the present.


2. What books have you written? What books are you planning to write in the future?

I have presently written three books in a series titled, “The Mystery of History” and am working on the fourth. They are as follows:

Vol I – Creation to the Resurrection

Vol II – The Early Church and Middle Ages

Vol III – The Rennaissance, Reformation, and Growth of Nations

Vol IV – Revolutions to Present Day

I hope one day to write a bible curriculum.
