Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the topic of homeschooling comes up, there often seem to be various assumptions as to why we homeschool our children, which are simply wrong, or, at the most, inadequate. Yes, the government schools have bullies; yes, the government schools might be bigger targets for armed shootings; and yes, the government schools (even the ones in good school districts) have kids or teachers who will teach our children language or experiences that we would rather them not learn that early in life (or at all). And while all those things are true and good reasons to educate our children at home, even if those problems were corrected, we--and many other parents--would still be committed to homeschooling our children. Why? The purpose of this book is to answer that question--and to answer it from the Scriptures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homeschooling is a large and growing phenomenon in American society--between 1999 and 2003 it grew at ten times the rate of public school enrollments. Current estimates suggest that about two million kids are homeschooled, but information about them is incomplete. Here, educator Robert Kunzman uses his unprecedented access to six conservative Christian homeschooling families to explore this elusive world, from the day-to-day lives of its adherents to its broader aspirations to transform American culture and politics. He shows us what their homeschooling experience looks like firsthand, what their political and religious beliefs are, and what their kids learn about democratic citizenship and engaging with people with different beliefs. Woven throughout Kunzman's narrative are larger questions about the purpose of public education, what makes an educated citizenry--and how American political and intellectual life could change as conservative Christian homeschooled children reach adulthood.--From publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Printed boldly on the back of the United States currency is the motto "In God We Trust." We have seen it so often that it may have lost its meaning to us. But found in these words is the secret to national and personal greatness.Webster's Dictionary defines the word trust as "a firm belief or confidence in the honesty, integrity, reliability and justice of another person or thing."When our founding fathers put their names to the Declaration of Independence, they believed that God was the only sure foundation upon which to build a nation that would endure. These men knew that this unique experiment in freedom would only stand the test of time by God's grace. George Washington stated it simply, "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."Reliance upon God was deeply rooted in our country's important documents and institutions from the beginning. But today confidence in God and His Word is no longer the foundation of society.In our schools the God of Creation has been replaced by the "god" of evolutionary chance. Truth has been replaced by relativism. Morality has been replaced by expediency.In our homes we nightly view things that were unimaginable on television and in movies only a decade ago. Violence, sexual perversion and obscene language spill off the screen.In the political arena God's principles of truth and justice have often given way to expedience, personal profit, and compromise.As we have departed from God, life has been devalued. The lives of unborn children are snuffed out in abortion clinics and the number of robberies, rapes and murders increase daily.It is time that we return to the values of God's Word in our public and private lives so that He will heal our land. We must begin person by person on our knees, confessing our failure to trust God fully in our lives.Today you can affirm your trust in God if you will: Acknowledge that you need salvation: The Bible says, "All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Recognize God's love for you: "God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). Receive Jesus and His forgiveness, the only basis for encountering God. "As many as received Him (Jesus), to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name" (John 1:12).God is calling you to put your trust in Him today! Don't ignore His call!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The GOD-Centered Homeschool is a great resource with hands on examples for parents who want to help their children see how God is the center of each subject they study." - Robert Bortins, CEO Classical Conversations "What an empowering book! The God-Centered Homeschool provides parents with not only the 'why' to center your homeschool around God, but also the 'how' to practically implement that in your home immediately." - Melissa Pryer, Homeschool Mom, Illinois "I see this issue all around us in the homeschool community. In trying to make sure we have Jesus in our [homeschool] day, He becomes curriculum rather than our curriculum growing from Him! Thank you for tackling the subject so thoroughly." - Stacey Kirk, Homeschool Mom, Georgia From the author: "Over the last ten years, I have had the wonderful experience of interacting with hundreds of homeschooling parents. In one role, God gave me the opportunity to ask several hundred homeschooling moms (and the occasional dad) in one-on-one interviews about their homeschooling journeys and their reasons for choosing home education. These conversations were often rich and encouraging. They opened my eyes to gracious work that God is doing in the lives of families all over the United States and Canada. One not-so-surprising discovery that I made during these conversations is that the vast majority of Christian homeschoolers choose home education for reasons of faith. Sometimes homeschooling was chosen in order to remove the children from ungodly peer influence in public or private schools. Other times the choice was made because of disagreement with liberal agendas or anti-Christian teaching in classrooms. For some parents, the opportunity to give their children a Christian education was just too good to pass up. At bottom, what all of these parents desired is that their children receive an education consistent with biblical principles and Christian character. How are these homeschooling families doing on reaching this aim? The results seem decidedly mixed. There are some positive steps that many Christian families are taking. Many choose to include a Bible curriculum as part of the scope of their children's education. They are careful to choose a "Christian" curriculum for certain subjects, especially science. Alongside the standard secular literature that would be found in most schools (Shakespeare, Hawthorne, Dickens), Christian homeschool parents often have their children reading Lewis and Tolkien, as well as biographies of Christian heroes and missionaries. This is all good. Yet my sense is that most students are having very few worshipful moments during their typical homeschool day. Even with Christian curriculum, our students are far too seldom finding their hearts well up in awe towards God as they learn. Explicit connections to God are few and far between in the material and in our students' minds. Greater happiness in God is seldom an actual practical result of the day's educational activities. Though most Christian parents would agree that we should homeschool for the purpose of helping our children know and enjoy God, there seems to be a disconnect between our stated desire and our actual practice. This is the disconnect that I pray this book will help remedy. It does not offer a full solution, but only advice from a homeschool father who has tried to think deeply about this issue for the sake of his own family and others. God gripped me some years ago with a desire to help Christian homeschoolers grow in becoming more authentically God-centered. I have found that it is all too easy to talk about being God-centered in the abstract, and much more difficult to actually put that talk into practice. It is the practice of God-centered homeschooling that this book is about."
