The Only Book You Will Need to Homeschool

Maybe you’re brand new to homeschooling and are overwhelmed by where to begin. Maybe you pulled your kids from public school midyear and are now panicking at the kitchen table. Or maybe you’re a seasoned homeschooler who is simply feeling worn down, burned out, and left wondering if you’re still called to do this.

Wherever you are on your homeschooling journey, you are not alone. Mandy Davis, MEd and former school principal, wrote The Homeschool Bible not as a checklist or set of rules, but as a homeschooling roadmap to guide you through the real questions that show up in every season of the homeschool journey.

Inside these pages, you’ll find decades of experience condensed into practical wisdom. Legal steps. Curriculum overviews. Daily rhythms. Real answers. But you’ll also find something else–something every homeschool parent needs and rarely finds: permission.

Whether it’s permission to do things differently, to trust your instincts, or to stop performing for systems that weren’t designed with your children in mind, The Homeschool Bible will center you on what matters most and free you from everything that doesn’t.

With this helpful guide, you will

• know what to do on day one
• teach effectively without needing to “become” a teacher
• understand key milestones for littles through high school graduates
• create sustainable rhythms for learning and family life
• answer hard questions with confidence
• find support and community along the way

You are capable. Your children are capable. You don’t have to figure it all out to begin. This book is here to hold you steady as you take the next step, however imperfect. Let The Homeschool Bible provide you the permission and peace to take that next step today.

Discover the untold story of why homeschooling moved from the margins to the mainstream of American education.

In this groundbreaking study, historian Dixie Dillon Lane traces the rise of homeschooling in the United States, from the modern movement’s beginnings in the 1950s as a fringe activity to its current status as a widely accepted educational choice. Through compelling nationwide data and vivid case studies from Los Angeles County, Lane uncovers a powerful truth: homeschooling taps into long-held American beliefs in local control and parental rights that have shaped our nation’s schools for generations.

Writing in an engaging, accessible style, Lane demonstrates how homeschooling’s rise reflects Americans’ response to the increasing centralization of public education. As public schools have shifted toward consolidation and away from local oversight, parents have rediscovered their voice, choosing homeschooling as an innovative way to renew parental influence in education.

Unlike most authors writing on this topic, Lane writes as both a credentialed historian and an experienced homeschooling parent. As such, she offers an honest, balanced view that acknowledges the homeschooling movement’s challenges as well as its strengths. Skipping School will be of interest to parents, historians, educators, policymakers, and anyone seeking a fuller understanding of American education.

Allow your children to experience the adventure, freedom, and wonder of childhood with this practical guide that provides all the information, inspiration, and advice you need for creating a modern, quality homeschool education.

Inspired by the spirit of Henry David Thoreau–“All good things are wild and free”–mother of five Ainsley Arment founded Wild + Free. This growing online community of mothers and families want their children to receive a quality education at home by challenging their intellectual abilities and nurturing their sense of curiosity, joy and awe–the essence of a positive childhood.

The homeschool approach of past generations is gone–including the stigma of socially awkward kids, conservative clothes, and a classroom setting replicated in the home. The Wild + Free movement is focused on a love of nature, reading great books, pursuing interests and hobbies, making the entire world a classroom, and prolonging the wonder of childhood, an appealing philosophy that is unpacked in the pages of this book

The Call of the Wild and Free offers advice, information, and positive encouragement for parents considering homeschooling, those currently in the trenches looking for inspiration, as well as parents, educators, and caregivers who want supplementary resources to enhance their kids’ traditional educations.

“This is the most helpful book on Christian Homeschooling I have ever read.”

You Can Absolutely Remove the Roadblocks of Stress and Bravely Deliver an Engaging High-Value Spiritual Homeschool Education For Your Precious Children!

Another book on homeschooling. . . is it really necessary?

Having witnessed the very common trend recently of committed homeschoolers giving up and putting their children back into schools, the answer is, yes. We need this little book and others like it to help encourage and strengthen Christian families out there who are homeschooling, were homeschooling, or would be homeschooling if only the task did not seem so formidable. . .

Christians who feel they should be teaching their own children at home get busy reading books full of glowing accounts of the homeschooling lifestyle. Yet when they glance up from the page they see families they know dropping out, giving up homeschooling in defeat, and their enthusiasm begins to get the shakes. They hear tales of stress, and the phrase “homeschool burnout” is on everyone’s lips.

Even worse, they may see that some children who have graduated from homeschooling are just as worldly-minded as the other children in their fellowship, so why put themselves through all the stress of being a home educator?

Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be this way. Your homeschool journey can be a spiritual joy and delight for both parent and child. Written by a mother of twelve who has homeschooled for the past 26 years, this practical book will alert you to the issues to avoid, and the ones to embrace, so that you too can remove stressfulness from your homeschool, . . . and your life.

“The GOD-Centered Homeschool is a great resource with hands on examples for parents who want to help their children see how God is the center of each subject they study.” – Robert Bortins, CEO Classical Conversations

“What an empowering book! The God-Centered Homeschool provides parents with not only the ‘why’ to center your homeschool around God, but also the ‘how’ to practically implement that in your home immediately.” – Melissa Pryer, Homeschool Mom, Illinois

“I see this issue all around us in the homeschool community. In trying to make sure we have Jesus in our [homeschool] day, He becomes curriculum rather than our curriculum growing from Him! Thank you for tackling the subject so thoroughly.” – Stacey Kirk, Homeschool Mom, Georgia

From the author: “Over the last ten years, I have had the wonderful experience of interacting with hundreds of homeschooling parents. In one role, God gave me the opportunity to ask several hundred homeschooling moms (and the occasional dad) in one-on-one interviews about their homeschooling journeys and their reasons for choosing home education. These conversations were often rich and encouraging. They opened my eyes to gracious work that God is doing in the lives of families all over the United States and Canada.
