Description

Homeschooling is the hardest thing I have ever done, but it has also been my greatest accomplishment. It was not, however, a journey I took alone. Truth be told, I would never have started homeschooling, let alone continued to the finish line without the help of trusted mentors and a faithful God. While many mentors became dear friends, others were more seasonal and peripheral, found in a well-loved book or a bookmarked blog. Hope for Your Homeschool is certain to become your trusted mentor that can be turned to again and again to inspire and motivate your homeschool journey. Divided into three parts: starting strong, staying the course, and finishing with joy, homeschool moms on any part of the journey will be blessed through the author’s practical advice, personal stories, and gentle encouragement. She also concludes each chapter with guided thoughts and questions to help you personalize the reading and to be refreshed by God’s Word. Rather than making readers feel like a failure, these reflections and challenges gently exhort all parents to fulfill the call God has given them. Hope for Your Homeschool is filled with gems just waiting for you to discover and apply in your personal journey. 

Publisher's Description of Hope For Your Homeschool

Homeschooling can be rich and rewarding. But it can also be exhausting and lonely. You may have questions or doubts swirling in your head or from outside family and friends:

I am not a teacher · I don't know where to begin · Will my kids have friends? · Will I ever have time for me? · Will this get any easier? · Should I keep doing this? · And more.

These are good thoughts and questions. It's important to consider them and find answers. In Hope for Your Homeschool, September McCarthy—seasoned homeschooling mom of ten children and twelve grandchildren—addresses the fears and concerns that accompany homeschooling. And she provides a successful, well-tested plan! Through biblical insight and personal stories, September shows us how to create a culture at home that will fortify hearts and sharpen young minds. September gives us practical steps to follow and mistakes to avoid.

Your days will be infused with joy and strength. As you draw from the wisdom of this homeschooling friend, your mothering heart will find hope, guidance, and encouragement for the daily work of homeschooling well.
