Millstones and Stumbling Blocks

  I read the article in the new winter issue of TOS this week about the problems with Public Schools. It was very, very good to read! And while I had heard of 1 of the men that Gena interviewed for the article, I had NOT heard of Brad Heath, the author of a book called, Millstones and Stumbling Blocks.

Just reading Gena's article gave me encouragement, especially the first line.  She writes, "The more we read and listen, the more Paul and I feel convicted that public schools are simply not an option for Christian kids."  The identical thing has been coming out of my mouth lately, though only to my husband, as I am not quite ready for the pummeling that I'd surely receive if I spouted it in a public forum. Of course, this BLOG is a public forum . . .

Then yesterday I heard a recording of an old Kevin Swanson program where he interviews Mr. Heath. It was music to my ears.  If you want to listen too, go to www.kevinswanson.com and find the December 6, 2006 program. Mr. Heath was also on a show called Issues in Education back in December. They can be heard at www.isssuesineducation.org 

So now, of course, I want to buy his book.  Along with another one that I came across recently by Zan Tyler, author of many homeschool articles at www.crosswalk.com.  My list of books "to buy" is getting reeeaaallllyyy long . . . does anyone else have a list like that? When you get some extra money or if there is free shipping at some site, you flip back to your list to see what book to tack on to your order?

Oh well, enough of that. I think you'll enjoy Millstones and Stumbling Blocks! I'll try to post a review when I finish it.

Feb. 6, 2007 - My list

Posted by Meredith
Lauren, I'm with you on the long list of books. Tomorrow I'll be picking up two more books I've just ordered, one by CJ Mahaney and one by Carolyn Mahaney. I'd like to see your list sometime, but maybe I shouldn't since I'd probably put some of your books on my list too.

I think I'm just making up for the fact that I wasn't such an avid reader growing up.

Blessings to you.
