For over three decades, Diana Waring has inspired families with her joyful, faith-centered approach to history—one that honors God’s hand in every era and invites students into the story. Her History Revealed series has become a trusted and beloved resource for thousands of homeschoolers around the world.
We share Diana’s deep commitment to homeschooling, discipleship, and making learning both meaningful and memorable. Having recently acquired Total Language Plus from Barbara Blakey, we’ve helped families approach literature with depth and purpose while carrying on the legacy of discovery based learning Barbara created 30 years ago, and now we’re excited to bring that same heart to History Revealed.
How Did This Come About?
The Lord Provides! (This is actually the secondary meaning behind the acronym TLP). A few months back Brandon was reflecting on his homeschool journey while writing a blog post for TLP. In it, he discussed how his curriculum was tailored to his interests. Having a love for history, one of the resources he used was Diana Waring’s What in the World series (back when it was still on cassette tapes). Brandon felt the tug on his heart to reach out to Bill and Diana to learn what their future plans were with the History Revealed curriculum. Unbeknownst to him, Diana and Bill had been praying for years about what the future would look like for their business. The Lord’s timing is perfect, and all four of us continue to be amazed by the Lord’s orchestration and affirmation in each conversation and every step of the process.
What Does This Mean for You?
-
- The heart of the curriculum will remain the same. History Revealed will continue to guide students through Creation to the Present using a God-honoring, narrative-rich lens.
- Support will continue and grow. TLP will offer resources, encouragement, and updates as they integrate History Revealed into their family of faith-based programs.
- A legacy continues. Diana’s wisdom, creativity, and vision will live on through this next chapter. She offers her full blessing and encouragement for the transition and desires to collaborate on future projects together.
- For now, nothing changes for where you shop. You can continue finding all History Revealed products at dianawaring.com, and all Total Language Plus resources at totallanguageplus.com. As we move forward, we’ll share updates about bringing everything into a unified, easy-to-use platform.
A note from Diana:
It has been one of the greatest joys of my life to discover “glimpses of God’s work” in history! The stories of God’s faithfulness, of His provision, of His perfect timing, of His abiding presence (regardless of circumstance) are found, not only in the pages of Scripture, but in the lives of believers who have gone before us—all woven intricately into world history. Observing people in history trust God with their entire lives, and learning how God interacted with people, leaders, cultures and nations, transformed my approach to history. And, it literally changed how I lived.
As this journey of discovery was taking place, a door opened for me to share it with other homeschooling families. . . Being a storyteller, it would be such fun to sit down with you and describe the wild adventure of the past 30+ years (spoiler alert: I never saw it coming!).
For now, however, what I can say is that my part of this curriculum-writing adventure is ending in the same way that it began—first, with God’s working in multiple lives over multiple months, second with God’s nudging, third with God’s incredible provision, and, finally with God’s spectacularly perfect timing. We continue to be amazed at how right— and so very appropriate—it is to pass the torch to Brandon and Lanette Judy. They are not only experienced in homeschooling and wise in business, they are courageous and adventurous believers, too!
We look forward with great anticipation to the next chapter of History Revealed as Brandon and Lanette take this way beyond what we were able to accomplish!
A note from the Judys: We are humbled and honored to carry the torch Diana has lit. We look forward to serving the families who love History Revealed and helping more students discover God’s hand in the story of history. We recently introduced ourselves and our backgrounds in the announcements around acquiring TLP. You can find those here: Announcement & About Us. We look forward to you getting to know us and our family as we continue to serve your History (and hopefully Language Arts) curriculum needs.
Stay tuned for more news and updates as we transition the purchasing and store experience into a single unified platform. We can’t wait to see what God does next!
With gratitude,
Brandon & Lanette Judy
with Bill & Diana Waring
