Which words describe your family's
educational journey? 
 
  • Is homeschooling everything you thought it would be?
  • Do you have special issues and wonder how other homeschooling families manage?
  • Are you doing fairly well, but need a little encouragement to persevere?
  • Do you question how much your children are really learning? Or do you doubt your ability to teach them?
  • Have you lost sight of why you chose to homeschool in the first place?

E-Book: Turning Points
You are not alone. 

 

Whether you're trying to get your bearings as you consider homeschooling or looking for encouragement to stay the course, you'll find both in this new E-Book from The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine.

Turning Points in Homeschooling: Real-Life Stories of Families Searching for Their True North offers ample support and incredible insight that will help answer many of the troublesome questions you may have.

 
 
 
"During especially discouraging times, it is often helpful to take a break and spend some time evaluating where you are, where you've been, and where you're going in your journey . . .
Turning Points is a wonderfully encouraging book . . . Reading this book has helped to remind me WHY I am homeschooling my own children."
 
- Kristen Hamilton, TOS Research Panel

Where do you look for guidance?
What keeps you going?

When confronted with difficult decisions and circumstances, don't follow the pull of a worldly compass that will lead you off track. Instead, search for and follow what is authentic and true.

Let God's Word be your compass, and be assured that you can trust His guidance for your family.

Are we honestly doing right by our children in homeschooling them?


YES, God says we are!

"I literally could not put it down and came away feeling incredibly convicted . . . If you are feeling a pull to consider homeschooling or have been doing it for years and have lost your sense of vision and purpose, then please read this book. I guarantee you that you will not be the same."

-Carie Stephens, TOS Marketing Research Panel

This may be one of the
most important books
you'll read this year!

 
 
Meet, and learn from, an array of over 20 homeschooling families from a variety of backgrounds. As you are drawn into their candid and encouraging stories, you'll sympathize and identify with their frustrations, joys, and revelations.

Each featured story is unique, yet the authors share these commonalities:
  • They have reached a remarkable turning point in their academic and spiritual pursuits.
  • They recount the challenges, blessings and triumphs as a result of God moving in their lives.
  • They are teaching in the temple of their children's hearts and finding purpose, fulfillment, and success.
  • They have learned to navigate their way in the right direction-a God-oriented one-their True North.
Have no doubt in your heart and discover for yourself what these families have found.

  • Mothers who had front-row seats in the classroom that were led toward homeschooling and big changes
  • Spiritual guidance of children and God's views on education
  • A story that parallels the story of Jonah, the prophet
  • Families that have climbed the grid to scholastic success from very different directions
  • Children with dyslexia and reading problems
  • Families with a wide range of talents and abilities, using various educational methods and curriculum choices
  • Some "I'd never homeschool!" stories and their crucial turning points
  • A formerly homeschooled mom dealing with her own high school disappointment
  • A parent that compares the Israelites' desire for a king with the public's desires in education
  • Dealing with complications that come from challenging external situations
  • Single-parent homeschooling
  • Traditional stories, with answers found by consistent prayer or study of Bible passages
  • The desire to homeschool found with nontraditional venues such as online blogging, and a college coursework assignment
  • And much more!
It also includes an epilogue written by Pat Marcum, homeschool veteran, speaker, and author; and concludes with a challenging call-to-action for every Christian family.

"I had no idea Turning Points was going to be such an incredible one. With the economy turning the way it is, many homeschoolers in my area are having to send their children to public school so Mom can go back to work. I believe this E-Book is very timely. I think that it could help many who are wrestling with the decision of what to do."

-Tamie Rickman, Turning Points contributor, Olalla, WA

"Turning Points was one of the most inspirational homeschooling E-Books I have ever read. If you only ever purchase just one book about homeschooling, then this is the book."

-Brenda Emmett, TOS Research Panel
