I was asked to review a few things over the next week or so, one of them I chose was a “WeE-book” titled, “Missing in Action or Mentoring in Action?” Right away the title caught my attention for two reasons, but wait, I’m getting ahead of myself.
First you ask, what in the world is a WeE-book? Trust me, I had no idea either.
You’ve probably heard of an e-book (and if you’re like me downloaded not a few!) This is simply a smaller version with a small price to match. Old Schoolhouse if offering them and they’ve gathered quite a list to chose from! It was hard to make my choices but I did chose three (more on the other choices later.)
Getting back to the “Missing in Action or Mentoring in Action”; the first reason the title caught my attention was pairing the mentoring with the missing. This has been a subject that has come up a lot in various Bible studies and churches I’ve attended in years past. Just where are the “older women?” The second reason was a little humorous (okay to me at least), our men’s group at church is called M.I.A., standing for “Men in Action”.
It’s not just about mentoring but specifically mentoring to other homeschool moms without putting in a lot of time. If you’ve been homeschooling longer than a week and ever talked to mom who’s considering homeschooling you’ve probably already done it without knowing it. That is pretty encouraging!
The WeE-book focuses as well on mentoring at your local convention. From first hand experience at the many conventions I attend I can agree and attest to the effectiveness of the “snippet” method described. It is a big need that is so easy and enjoyable for us “veteran” homeschool moms to fill!
If you’ve been homeschooling for at least a year and your heart feels for other homeschoolers (especially new ones) this We-E book can make you aware or affirm you in what you already know about how to have an effective ministry without sacrificing your own homeschool and family time. Plus by getting the “We-E” versions you won’t spent too much of your time reading about it instead of doing it!
