Humble Beginnings

Question: Prima Latina & Latina Christiana - has anyone used before?

My goal for my children is to have a foreign language for every year they are in school (with the exception of Kindergarten).  James is finishing up 3 years of Greek.  Next year I want to start him and Lauren both on Latin.  I think Latin is crucial to grammar, vocabulary, spelling and is the basis for many languages.  So, I found this program through Memoria Press:  Prima Latina (for K-3) and Latina Christiana (4th grade+).  In this curriculum they also have a section on 12 Famous Men of Rome with maps, etc.  Has anyone ever used this curriculum before?  If so, is it a good program?  They also have another book you can buy called Famous Men of Rome that outlines the lives of 30 Roman men with stories, maps, European geography, etc.  I'm considering purchasing both the Latin sets and the Famous Men of Rome book for next year.  I figure that would be history, geography and foreign language all rolled into one. I was just curious if anyone had ever heard of it or used it before.

 I hope y'all all have a splendid and blessed day!

I have heard of it, and have heard good things about it, but have never actually seen it or used it. I would like to know what you find out - I would love to be learning Latin with my children! I mean, teaching my children Latin.
