Beyond Survival, A Guide To
Abundant-Life Homeschooling -- By Diana WaringIf you're just getting by with home schooling, or if you've lost that inner joy for what you want to accomplish with your family, I strongly recommend you read this book! The first few chapters include things like, surviving your first curriculum fair, learning styles, suggested book lists, and suggestions on how to get the laundry and review done in one day. In each chapter she even includes their personal experiences with the topic, something I really appreciate! This is a great way to start the book, but the gold is in the last third of the book. Diana suggests "abundant homeschooling", how to get it if you've never had it, and how to keep it if you've lost it. I sincerely enjoyed her practical look at home schooling - her quips about the dishwasher over flowing just hit too close to home (the week I read this book, we had towels underneath ours!)Even better, are her practical suggestions for dealing with those unavoidable circumstances that we can either let bring us down, or use as a part of home schooling - in a good way! You'll laugh as you see yourself and you'll be inspired as you see her help you set attainable goals for you and your family. We here at R.O.C.K. SOLID give it our 2 thumbs up! Author Diana Waring

Making Brothers and Sisters Best Friends -- How to Fight the GOOD Fight at Home! , written by 3 siblings and illustrated by their dad! You'll find what you thought impossible - possible. Here is Sarah Mally's comment about their book: Brothers and sisters are among the most important people in life, yet often they are also the most trouble. My brother, sister, and I have become concerned as we have observed the way many siblings fight, argue, and miss out on the close relationship that God intends for them to have. The problem is not just the surface battles, but the underlying attitudes, wrong concepts, and offenses. Many broken relationships never get fixed. Few enjoy the special life-long treasure that God intended. Our emphasis in this book is not merely "getting along" with your brothers and sisters, but making them your BEST FRIENDS. Since every chapter of the book has a section written by each of us, the book has three perspectives and three personalities. It includes many personal stories and insights about how we have learned to become best friends. Author Sarah Mally  Stephen Mally  Harold Mally

The Train-Up Bible Curriculum is written for those parents or guardians who want their children deeply rooted in God's Word. The studies are written to train children to understand and apply God's Word in their own lives. Each study is illustrated. At the conclusion of each study, there is an activity to help solidify the theme of that particular lesson. At the conclusion of every four lessons, there is a quiz. There is a section titled "Steps to Inviting Jesus Into Your Heart" as well as an Answer Key at the conclusion of each study. Children who read at a third- or higher-grade level should have no difficulty doing the studies independently. Children who read below a third-grade level may need some adult supervision. Train-Up suggests putting tabs in the Bible to aid the child in looking up Scripture. Choosing Thankfulness chapters include: What is Thankfulness? Why Should I Thank God? Thanking Jesus Finding Fault and Arguing Are the Opposite of Thanksgiving The Levites Praise God David Praises God Daniel Praises God Jesus Praises God The Israelites Complain The Story of the Renters The Story of the Wedding Dinner The Story of the Workers in the Vineyard Paul and Silas Praise Wins the Battles Ways to Praise More Ways to Praise Four Thankfulness quizzes follow, along with an answer key.
