Teaching From Rest: A Homeschooler’s Guide to Unshakable Peace

Author: Mackenzie, Sarah

In the book of Philippians we are told to be anxious over nothing, and yet we are anxious over everything. We worry that our students will be “behind,” that they won’t score well on the SAT, get into a good college, or read enough of the Great Books. Our souls are restless, anxiously wondering if something else out there might be just a little bit better- if maybe there is another way or another curriculum that might prove to be superior to what we are doing now.

God doesn’t call us to this work and then turn away to tend to other, more important matters. He promises to stay with us. He assures us that if we rely on Him alone, then He will provide all that we need.

What that means on a practical level is that we have to stop fretting over every little detail. We need to stop comparing. We’ve got to drop the self-inflated view that we are the be-all-end-all of whether the education we are offering our students is going to be as successful as we hope it is. After all, our job is not to be successful- success itself is entirely beside the point. It’s faithfulness that He wants.

Teaching from Rest offers inspiration, insight, and practical help for the homeschooling mom. Take a deep breath homeschooling mama; He’s got this.

What others are saying about the book:
“In Teaching from Rest, Sarah beautifully reminds us that we will never be able to give our children the ‘perfect’ education. Instead of crumbling under the weight of our attempts to do so, we can let the burdens fall off our tired backs.”
-Jamie Martin, editor of simplehomeschool.net and author of Mindset for Moms and Steady Days

“Teaching from Restis the book equivalent of a warm cup of tea. It will fill even the most frantic, overwhelmed homeschooling mom with a deep sense of peace.”
-Jennifer Fulwiler, author of Something Other than God

“You need this ebook. In it is wisdom that takes my breath away. It’s both spiritual and practical–truly one of those rare, life-changing messages that no mother should miss.”
– Elizabeth Foss, author of Small Steps for Catholic Moms

For the Children’s Sake

Author: Macaulay, Susan Schaeffer

Every parent and teacher wants to give their children the best education possible. Everyone would like education to be a joyous adventure and celebration of life, as well as a solid preparation for living. Sadly, most education today falls far short of this goal.

But as Susan Schaeffer Macaulay shows it doesn’t have to be this way. Education can be a wonderful, life-enriching, joyous experience.

For the Children’s Sake is a book about what education can be–for your child, in your home, and in your school. It is based first on a Christian understanding of what it means to be human–to be a child, a parent, a teacher–and on the Christian meaning of life. At the same time it is deeply practical. Many of the central ideas have been tried and proven true over a century in almost every kind of educational situation. The ideas are in fact so true that they can be applied equally at home, in different schools, in Africa, in the inner city, and in your own community. But they are also ideas which Susan and her husband Ranald Macaulay have tried and proven in their own family and school experience.

For the Children’s Sake is a book which can help every parent and teacher awaken the young minds of their children and give them a new richness, stability, and joy for living.

Olympus

Author: Somerville, Scott

Like millions of others around the world, Karl Huber is crazy about Olympus – the new full-cyber-suit, multi-player, virtual reality game on the Internet – even though his father hates it. When Mr. Huber forbids his son to play the game in his house any more, Karl’s jealous brother, Jacob, seizes the opportunity to tempt his twin to run away.
With trails leading in all directions, now he could be anywhere on earth. The only way to find Karl is to look for him in Olympus, where sinister forces are using high technology to build a world too fascinating for children to resist, and too profitable and powerful for adults to ignore.
