The Heart of Homeschooling by Chris Klicka

Raising children is hard work. This is news to no one, especially home schooling families. Many are tempted to cut corners or even give up. But there is help and encouragement to be found. The Heart of Home Schooling will focus you on what really matters - “The primary importance of being faithful in the spiritual aspects of our home schooling - not just the academics.”

Chris Klicka presents principles coming primarily from his and his wife Tracy’s own experience training their seven children. Speaking from both his heart and many Scriptural principles, Chris affirms that you do not home school for home schooling’s sake, but for the glory and honor of God. $10.00
