But wait! There's more . . .

Last August I blogged about a new curriculum that I was thrilled to see in print, Philosophy Adventure.  The longer I homeschool the more frustrated I become that subjects such as philosophy, logic, and public speaking are still, for the most part, considered electives.   How are we to answer the important questions of life if we are not motivated to study such important subjects?  I had the privilege to interview the author of Philosophy Adventure, Stacy Farrell, on my podcast for the Ultimate Radio Network Show!   Although the majority of the discussion is about philosophy and co-ops, there was much talk of worldviews and apologetics.  Unbeknown to me at the time is the fact that Stacy has written several other publications that should highly interest parents and teachers who are passionate about worldview issues.  Take a look, and be sure to go to the end of the list to find out about an upcoming sale

Philippians in 28 Weeks (and yes, this includes instructions for easily memorizing the entire book of Philippians)  What does it mean to love him with all your mind?  The Bible is banned in many countries. Countless believers have sacrificed their freedom—and many, their lives—to spread the message of God’s love and salvation contained within its pages. Are we exercising our freedom responsibly?
The Wise Woman with Literary Analysis Journal Questions (definitely not for boys only, based on a parable written by George McDonald)  Watch this Lego animated video!
As it says on the website,
Do not let the title deceive you–this elegant fable is not for girls and women only. It captivates boys and men as well.    Prepare to encounter sleek wolves, slobbering hyenas, and an assortment of beasts that go bump in the night. Step into enchanted rooms with pictures that become doorways into the familiar or the fantastic. Witness weak-willed parents who blindly overindulge their children…and reap the destructive consequences.  Meet a fearlessly loving and wise woman who confronts stubborn ignorance and ugly pride with unflinching discipline, truth, and grace.
 The Wise Woman enchants readers while it contrasts the ugliness of pride, selfishness and conceit with the beauty of humility, sacrifice, and compassion. By offering students 16 to 24 literary analysis questions per chapter, this 160-page spiral bound edition teaches critical thinking in a way that is engaging and transformational.


The  Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal  Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal is a powerful tool to strengthen critical thinking while cultivating a biblical worldview.  It may be used as independent study for middle school and high school students, yet is equally appropriate for use by adults.

Wait, there's more ... there will be a pre-publication sale on the Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal beginning on C. S. Lewis' birthday (Black Friday)!!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Have a blessed holiday!
