This year we decided to use The Narrow Way, by Pearables for our Bible/Character Building Program.  My friend Sharon C. introduced me to this last Spring, and I am so very thankful she did!  WOW, what a great program!  Very deep, yet so practical, applicable and easy to understand for the whole family.  I really wish this program was available when I was young, because I didn't learn most of this until late in my 20's.  DD gets to learn about it at 11 yrs..  That just amazes me!  Our children are going to learn so much more than we ever did about the Lord, and their time on this earth is going to be so much more fruitful, because of the maximizing of God's word through character building programs such as this.  I am in awe, and highly recommend it to every family, whether homeschooled or not.  It takes about 30-45 minutes a day to learn key principles for life, based on God's word.
