MyLittleWonders Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Just wanted to pass this on: Knowledge Quest is having a 4-day sale on eBooks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudreyTN Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I bought the rest of Map Trek last night. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleWonders Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 I bought the US Map Trek this morning when I saw the email. I figured even if I only use the maps and not their lesson plans, the price was great. (Plus I am falling in love with eBooks!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo2 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Help me out here---I think this is a Christian company, right? But are the Map Trek products secular? (Right off hand, I don't see how a map could NOT be secular, but I've been wrong before.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I'm tempted to just buy all the maps! :auto: to look at the Hive's reviews. I have SOTW1 Activity guide but I would like some extra map work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Right off hand, I don't see how a map could NOT be secular, but I've been wrong before.) :bigear: I'd like to know too! From the descriptions at least some of the other books are not secular, but I don't know about the maps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosaicmind Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Pardon my ignorance, but I don't know much about Knowledge Quest, except for the maps I have seen in the first editions of SOTW. Are they really that great? What about their geography books? I was looking at the Holy Land One and I am intrigued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittleWonders Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Help me out here---I think this is a Christian company, right? But are the Map Trek products secular? (Right off hand, I don't see how a map could NOT be secular, but I've been wrong before.) My understanding is that they are not a secular company and I'm not sure how religious the map lesson plans are. But, the maps themselves (at least from the samples of the US ones that I bought) look secular in and of themselves. So, I figured that I may not be able to use the plans as written (though they still may have some stuff that is useful to me from a secular point of view), the maps will come in handy this year as we study US history. I probably would not have bought the book if it were not on sale, but as I said above, I figured the $10 price for the Map Trek US Edition to be a good price even just for the maps.

Capt_Uhura Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 The maps are not entirely secular. Someone posted here that there might be a few maps secular folk would skip but it wasn't very many and it was still very worth it for secular folk to purchase.

Marla Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 If you purchase an e-book instead of the CD-rom and your computer crashes, is there any recourse in receiving another e-book from the company or are you out-of-luck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I have their MapTrek Ancients and a surprisingly large percentage is not secular, but I still am glad I have them anyway. In some WTM thread, I posted the exact percentage that wasn't secular... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) If you are just buying e-books, this won't be such a big deal, but I just have to say I had a really bad experience buying from KQ recently. I paid for some time lines through Paypal and then didn't hear anything for 2 weeks; no shipping confirmation, no acknowledgment of my order; no nuthin'. I e-mailed, repeatedly, just to find out whether they had received the order, and every e-mail except the first one bounced back. I e-mailed the e-mail address on their Paypal page, and it, too, bounced back. After almost a week of this, I finally left an irate message on their voice-mail, which prompted a response to my FIRST e-mail, the only one that had not bounced back. It also prompted them to ship my timelines. I sent them a final e-mail saying that, needless to say, I wouldn't be shopping with them again, and that e-mail...bounced back. Every time I went to their website to try to track down working e-mail addresses, I would find ads for their seminars on how to run an internet business. Oh, the irony.
