Homeschooling with a Meek & Quiet SpiritHomeschooling with a Meek & Quiet Spirit by Teri Maxwell
Buy used from: $9.38
Terri Maxwell really helped me see that we are teaching 24/7 whether we are "doing school" or not. The spirit which we deal with our children in is so much more important than what we say. We must model a Christian life that will seem worth living to our children.

America's Godly HeritageAmerica's Godly Heritage
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $13.39
Amazon doesn't have the DVD that was so enlighting concerning education. It is a DVD called "Four Centuries of American Education" and can be found at wallbuilders.com. It is a great reminder that some of the most brilliant, passionate Americans were Christian and a lot of them were "homeschooled" or close to it, many with the Bible as their only "textbook".

Secular, but helpful in giving you ideas for the "grades" of what your children should know when. Don't be a slave to it though! Biblical foundation and character FIRST - then academics.
