About Master Books

Master Books is the homeschool curriculum imprint of New Leaf Publishing Group, which is closely tied to Answers in Genesis and Ken Ham’s young-earth creationist ministry. It’s grown into a full K-12 publisher covering math, language arts, science, and history, all built around a “biblical worldview is the foundation of every subject, not a sidebar” approach.

Elementary and middle grades lean into Charlotte Mason-style methods — story-driven lessons, narration, and copywork — with signature titles like Math Lessons for a Living Education (which teaches math through an ongoing story) and Language Lessons for a Living Education. High school expands into more traditional textbook courses, including Jacobs’ well-known algebra and geometry texts. Individual subjects can be purchased on their own, or bundled together as a complete grade-level package.

Best for Christian families wanting an affordable, explicitly young-earth curriculum with minimal daily prep.

What Families Love

  • Genuinely open-and-go — short daily lessons with built-in schedules and no lesson planning.
  • More affordable than similar full-curriculum publishers.
  • Story-driven elementary math and language arts make lessons engaging rather than dry.
  • Can be purchased subject-by-subject or as a complete grade-level bundle.
  • Strong, well-regarded high school science and math options (including Jacobs’ classic texts).

Things to Consider

  • Faith-based content, explicitly young-earth creationist — tied to Answers in Genesis, teaches creation science and does not present evolution as valid.
  • Bible Translations Used: NKJV.
  • Younger publisher relative to some others — fewer decades of homeschool community track record.
  • Science and history content is framed to actively equip students to defend a young-earth position, more so than simply disclosing it.
  • Not a fit for secular families or those wanting a more neutral presentation of scientific consensus.
