Drive Thru History is a joyride through the fast lane of time gone by, led by the irreverent but always relevant Dave Stotts. Dave doesn’t just talk about history; he lives it--in fast, easy-to-digest road trips. Take, for instance, the trip to the Coliseum in Rome where Dave accidentally picks a fight with one of those cheesy "Roman guards" who’ll pose for a picture for a couple of euros. Suddenly, Dave is Maximus in a fight to the death (in his mind, that is). Drive Thru History makes exploring the history of Western civilization meaningful and totally entertaining.

This DVD has some great information, but starts out kind of slow, with him driving around. Since I have very limited time in my religious ed class that I wanted to use this in, this part I may need to fast forward through.

I truly enjoyed this DVD. Dave Stotts is "funny" and knowledgeable about his subject. Young people through adults will enjoy and benefit from this DVD. I want more. Is there a #2, #3, #4 coming forth?

I bought the entire Drive Thru series for use at a school for missionary kids in Asia, it was requested by teachers. I am impressed by what I have seen of the series, but can't comment more specifically.

We are currently doing a lesson series on church history with our Gr 3-6. The videos have been really informative and very accurate. My son who is 11 has all the videos memorized and is like a historical encyclopedia now. One caution is that there are some pictures of naked statues. We just cover the projector for that 2 second spot.

This DVD was fantastic. I watched it with my children and we all enjoyed it very much. We learned so much! I highly recommend it for family viewing and it is a must for all church libraries and an excellent resource for all Youth Groups. I could watch this over and over again!

This DVD was AWESOME! We just visited Rome a week before viewing and then to put history and the Bible to all the places we had been was great. All of my children enjoyed the humor and upbeat of this documentary. However, the history was over my 2nd grader's head, but great for my 6th and 8th.
