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!

Order yours today!The 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
Homeschooling through High School (or Why to Homeschool through High School)
Thinking about putting your children in public/Christian school for high school? Come listen as a father and daughter (who is now a homeschool graduate) share how tempted they were to give up on homeschooling at times, and how grateful they are now that they kept going through high school. This workshop squarely addresses the reasons why many people give up on homeschooling through high school, offering both personal examples and scriptural encouragement to keep going. $4.99
Homeschooling: God Is Sufficient CD
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. $4.99
