Prayers for Home Schooling Moms
Howe
ReviewHowe
"Prayers for Homeschooling Moms" is a unique work of art in the realm of homeschooling materials because it paints a picture that is true to real life homeschooling. In the midst of brief vignettes, we find heartfelt prayers being lifted to the Father and our hearts are strengthened and encouraged for the tasks in our own homes. Michele Howe has an amazing ability to penetrate to the heart of the issue that so many of us face in our homeschooling endeavors, and her prayers give wings to our own concerns - bringing them to the proper place - the throne of God.--Diana Waring

From Library Journal
Recent estimates by the Home School Legal Defense Association state that one percent (600,000-800,000) of school-age children in the United States are being schooled at home, and this number is expected to increase. Whatever the reasons for opting for home schooling, the decision to undertake it is not one to be taken lightly, according to these authors. A Survivor's Guide to Home Schooling is "homey," containing anecdotal illustrations to present a basic overview of the situations that can occur and for which a parent should prepare if home schooling is to be accomplished with success. It is an easily read book for those who are just beginning to consider the home school option or as a "pick-me-up" for home schoolers facing burnout. Home School: Taking the First Step is the book all parents need when deciding on the question of home schooling. The book's step-by-step approach is excellent and covers not only the legal issues, including a state-by-state analysis of laws and requirements, but also the planning process, curriculum and materials needs, teaching preparation, and an excellent listing of readings and resources. There is also a listing, with addresses and some phone numbers, of support groups and services available to the home schooling parent. The glossary and indexes make this an excellent reference source. This title is essential for all public and academic libraries to support questions and research. Mary Pride's The Big Book of Home Learning ( 1986), The Next Book of Home Learning ( 1987), and The New Big Book of Home Learning ( 1988, all Good News Pub.) are also valuable for home schooling-- Ed. -- A.R. Huggins, Memphis State Univ. Libs.

Ourselves
Charlotte Mason
The classic reference by the founder of the Home Schooling Movement. Charlotte Mason
Inside page:
"Sometimes treasures of a unique value are unearthed while rummaging in the past. Charlotte Mason was a distinguished British educator at the turn of the century whose work had a wide and lasting influence. At that time, many of the upper-class children were educated at home, and Mason's insights changed their lives. Her ideas were also brought to life in many schools, which gave the children an unusual and rich start in their education and development.
Nearly a hundred years later, a changing society often leaves us disappointed with its tangled, worn-out and narrow practices in education.
We chart a "falling capital" in the product that matters most: the life education and character of our children. is it not the moment to look at some of the roots?
