Description

You made the decision to homeschool - now don't panic! Prayer, meditation and conviction, hopefully, were a part of your decision-making process, so keep praying and "rest' in God for the confidence that He is in control.

Written from a homeschool mom's perspective, she is writing about what she has learned and knows to be true, not some theory that might work - homeschool wholeheartedly with God. The first edition of this book was in electronic format, this is now the second edition and is reorganized and expanded - now 90 pages. The book is a great read through for mom, but you can make it a study with the other items that are offered. The book offers principles and ways to implement them, along with words of encouragement to refocus on God.

If you're feeling frazzled and the joy of homeschooling your children has dwindled, this book could be a good resource to recharge and refocus on God and your reason to homeschool. ~ Donna
