Download or read book Write These Laws on Your Children written by Robert Kunzman and published by . This book was released on 2010-09-21 with total page 244 pages. 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.

Download or read book Great Christian Classics Volume 1 written by Kevin Swanson and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a wealth of great literature to study in the history of man, some written by Christians and some by non-Christians. However, the Christian student should direct special attention to literature produced by Christians. The empires of man will always crumble and fall, but the kingdom of Jesus Christ will continue forever. This collection covers five of the greatest life narratives of all time. A thorough study of these great books will help students understand the life, theology, and worldview of some of the greatest Christian men in church history. Sit at the feet of some of the best teachers God has given to His church. Augustine Confessions: (354-430) Augustine is perhaps the most influential thinker of the first thousand years of Christian history. This fifth-century Christian wrote Confessions as a biography in the form of a prayer to God. Patrick Confessions: (387-493) Amid the chaos following the collapse of the Roman Empire, Patrick, a man of legendary faith, led the way to the evangelization of the wild and pagan tribes of Ireland. John Knox History of the Reformation In Scotland (c.1510-1572) Few men have lived in more dangerous times than John Knox of Scotland. Yet he led a reformation movement in a very dangerous land, leaving a testimony for generations to come. John Bunyan Grace Abounding (1628-1688) Great men tell great stories because they live them. This is the case with John Bunyan, whose personal testimony, Grace Abounding, records one of the most tumultuous and agonizing spiritual journeys. John Paton Autobiography (1824-1907) The kingdom of God is only taken by force by courageous men of faith like John Paton, whose missionary work among the cannibals in the New Hebrides is nothing short of legendary.

Download or read book Classical Me Classical Thee Squander Not Thine Education written by Rebekah Merkle and published by Canon Press & Book Service. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Everyone is so busy giving the classical education to the students that I'm not sure people have taken the time to actually tell them why it matters..." Rebekah Merkle knows which high school classes you like and which you roll your eyes at, which books you enjoy and which you kinda skim. That's because she went through this whole thing called classical education, too: She was a guinea pig in one of the very first classical Christian schools in the country. Written for students by a (former) student, Classical Me, Classical Thee is lighthearted and--most importantly for you busy high-schoolers--very short. It has a simple goal: to explain why you students are doing what you do in class. (SPOILER: Grades aren't the point--you won't use your knowledge of the Iliad Book 5 every year until you die.) What you do in class is a drill -- and nobody drills for the sake of the drill. You do drills so that you can win the game. The real tragedy, though, would be if you didn't know you were doing drills... or didn't know there was a game at all. Grades aren't the point. So drill to win.

Book excerpt: Education/ParentingHomeschooling Odyssey Homeschooling Odyssey should be required reading for any parent. It presents an exciting and rewarding alternative to public school education. Don't miss the opportunity to journey along with Matt and Barb on their homeschooling odyssey. It just may change your life. Judy Andreas, essayist and author of Judyisms "Hour-a-day homeschooling has sent our six children to Stanford and beyond. While academic achievements are gratifying, they represent a drop in the bucket of benefits in store for families who choose to homeschool." It was the fall of 1980 when six-year-old Jenny entered first grade in a small town in Washington. Like most parents, Matt and Barbara had high hopes that their daughter would thrive in the classroom. At their first parent-teacher conference they learned that Jenny was a weak reader who cried over the stories in her books. On further investigation, they concluded that the school, not their daughter, had failed to measure up. Thus began their riotous homeschooling adventure. Matt reviews the years with affection and humor, examining modern education and childrearing practices along the way. HO tells the story of a family who found love and happiness by largely avoiding the defining institutions of our age, and it offers encouragement to others who would try this unconventional approach to education and family life.

Download or read book Why We Homeschool written by Adam T. Calvert and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 106 pages. 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.

Download or read book The God Centered Homeschool written by Justin Nale and published by Gch Publications. This book was released on 2017-06-02 with total page 128 pages. 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."
