Homeschool Encouragement

We are delighted that you have chosen to educate your children at home, and would like to encourage you in this endeavor. We know homeschooling isn't always easy, but it's definitely worth it! Our family has been homeschooling for over twenty years. While we have encountered numerous dilemmas and obstacles, we have also watched the Lord turn each and every difficulty and challenge into an opportunity to trust Him and grow in Him. May you daily trust Him, take heart, and keep raising your children for His kingdom!

Monthly Newsletters

Every month, we send out monthly e-Newsletters designed to encourage your whole family. Moms will love the homeschool tip, while children old and young will enjoy the delightful story that communicates an important principle to live on. Newsletters also contain a short thought sharing what God is teaching us, a hymn/poem, and sometimes a ministry update or special offer.

Homeschooling: God Is Sufficient CD

 

Homeschooling: God Is Sufficient

Have you ever wanted a glimpse into the heart of a homeschool child? Having graduated from homeschooling a few years ago, the recollections of my childhood as a homeschooler and the lessons God taught me are still fresh on my heart. This CD contains my personal reflections back on my homeschooling years and shares what God did in my heart. It goes through several of the worries my mother carried--worries every homeschool mom can easily identify with--and illustrates through personal examples how God worked our family through each one. You will hear how God turned weaknesses into strengths, social deserts into priceless times of fellowship, and devastating circumstances into incredible opportunities. It is my prayer that you will gain a new appreciation for God's amazing sufficiency. $3.99


The Socialization Trap

 

Socialization Trap

Most home educators reject school for their children partly because of the damage done to themselves by the pressures of the age-peer social group. Yet many parents try to replace lost “social contact” by placing their children in a variety of age-graded activities that re-create the peer pressure all over again.

This book tells why you don’t need to! The answer you need to the constant question, “What about socialization?” By Rick Boyer $8.95
