Homeschooling moms especially need a lot of encouragement and support in their ministry to their children that sometimes seems daunting. Even if all of your relatives, friends, neighbors, and church family support your decision to homeschool your own children, the daily work of patiently guiding your children to adulthood is difficult. 

      Of course, I realize that many of you don’t have the support of relatives, friends, neighbors, and church family in your homeschooling efforts.  That makes things even tougher. 

      The Old Schoolhouse magazine has published a new e-book with homeschooling moms and dads in mind. 

       Help, Lord, I’m Getting Ready to Start Homeschooling My High Schooler! is written for the heart and mind of those homeschooling parents who want to continue their children’s education at home through the high school years, but are doubting their abilities to do so.

      Many families have contributed to this 120+ page e-book.  Over and over again, I was impressed with the stories of each family who has come to rely fully on the grace of God and His strength in order to press on with the ministry of teaching children at home.

      Lest you think that this e-book is only for those who are currently teaching high school curricula to their children, I should mention that many of the families’ stories show God’s direction in their lives clear back when their children were first graders! 

      Some of the challenges mentioned in this particular e-book include:

•  learning disabilities
• unmotivated students
• rebellion
• lack of ability to focus on much of anything
• physical and medical conditions
• children who were extremely talented academically or creatively
• and more.

      With each family, you will read about the method God used to help them survive and thrive through the high school years (and elem./junior high years, too), and how they have now graduated successful adults who are doing well academically, socially, and occupationally. 

      I enjoyed reading this ebook, receiving encouragement and advice on homeschooling through the high school years.  I don’t want to give up and quit before the girls graduate; I’ve put so much of myself into this thing we call homeschooling that I don’t want to lose what we have started!  And, the Lord still continues to convict my husband and I that this is what we should be doing.  God is rewarding us for our decision, and that is encouraging, too.

      If you are in the mood for some encouragement and support in your homeschooling choices, please consider taking a look at this e-book for $12.45 at The Old Schoolhouse Store:
