I can't say enough about this little 180-day devotional book for
homeschool parents. It is a paperback book consisting of about
195 pages.
When I first saw this book, I thought to myself, what can they
tell me about homeschooling that I don't already know? But as I
started to read, I got many fresh perspectives on this journey
we call homeschooling. Each section is a thought-provoking look
at some of the different situations we face as homeschoolers and
some God-perspective on the subject. I am so excited about this
book! This one is for me! I love all the stuff out there for the
kids, but sometimes we, the parents or grandparents that are doing
the homeschooling, need to be fed too.
Here is Day 32: "Being Busy or Prioritizing." This section reflects
on our busy schedules and what really matters in the light of eternity.
What things on our busy to-do lists will really matter a year from
now or 100 years from now? The exhortation is to reflect on Psalm
90.
Here's another one: Day 20 discusses one homeschooler's struggle
with learning to read and the parent's struggle not to push it.
Eventually, of course, the child took off with reading and loves
it now. The exhortation at the bottom, called "Digging Deeper," says, "Max
Elliott Anderson, once a reluctant reader, now writes children's
books and offers practical help for reluctant readers at www.maxbooks.9k.com."
Please, if you are homeschooling your child or thinking about
homeschooling your child, do yourself a favor and indulge in this
little devotional for yourself. It will be better than chocolate!
There is so much practical and helpful information within the pages
of this book. I am delighted to add it to my personal collection.
