Homeschool Family's Truck Catches Fire

It's always something in a busy homeschool family!

In the latest news, some friends of mine, Stephen & Kerry Beck, had their truck catch on fire. Although their teenage daughter had driven it to softball practice, she wasn't in it when it spontaneously ignited. We're all so thankful that no one was hurt.

Of course, it wasn't a new truck with lots of insurance, and they have thousands of dollars of damage, which they are stuck with. Ford won't pay a dime, even though it was their faulty cruise control that started the fire. And this is a vehicle they really need!

If it were most of us, we'd probably be contemplating a second job such as selling firewood or taking up petsitting. Steve and Kerry are lucky, though. They each have a home business, and they have decided to try to raise money to fix the truck by running an amazing sale on many of their products.

Kerry's business is The Curriculum Connection, and for her sale, she is offering a huge array of e-books to help you through the last half of the school year. Topics include birdwatching, teaching writing, an 8-volume history of the Christian church, a topical Bible, recipe books, and books on health, organization, approaches to homeschooling, and more.

Steve, who specializes in helping Christian families start home-based internet businesses, is offering an equally impressive package. His offer includes software for recording onto your computer, a huge clipart package, a set of customizable website headers, e-books on niche marketing, search engine optimization, blogging, joint ventures, affiliate marketing, list building, business ideas, and getting out of debt. Some of these books even come with resale rights! If you've ever thought about starting a home business, you'll love this package!

The thing is, Steve and Kerry have priced their sale sets so far below what they normally sell for that they can't afford to offer them at this price for long. They've set up the sale so that the price heads back up by $10 every two days until it's back at the regular price once again. So sooner is better if you'd like to help with the fundraising effort and get a terrific deal at the same time!

Thanks so much for your help. Feel free to pass this along to your friends and family. They will thank you for doing so!
