Creation: An Internet-Linked Unit Study

This Multilevel (grades 4-12), Bible-Focused, Heart of Wisdom Unit Study utilizes the Charlotte Mason approach, and the Internet!

Many Christians fail to realize that the events of Genesis are literal, are historical (particularly Genesis 1-11), and are foundational to all Christian doctrine. All Biblical doctrines of theology, directly or indirectly, ultimately have their basis in the book of Genesis.

A believing understanding of the book of Genesis is a prerequisite to an understanding of God and His meaning to man. If Genesis is only myth or allegory, then Christian doctrines have no foundation. Many Christians have added evolution to the Bible, resulting in a position that accepts God as Creator but restricts Him to the process of evolution.

This position is destructive to Christianity for many reasons.

• Evolution permeates history, law, art, music, and sadly theology.Evolution is the new taproot of our education system.
• The main principle of evolution is that man is capable of improving himself, of moving upward, of continuously progressing to higher and higher levels of achievement.
• The evolutionist says that there are no absolutes, no laws, no rules, no roles, no standards of conduct.
• Henry Morris said, Evolution is the root of atheism, of communism, nazism, behaviorism, racism, economic imperialism, militarism, libertinism, anarchism, and all manner of anti-Christian systems of belief and practice

“This is much more than a study of Creation –This is a study of Christianity versus humanism”

The Bible views man as a unified whole, never separating academic learning from spiritual wisdom. Is your homeschooling on the right path? Are you reaching for the right goal? It does not matter how hard you try or how diligent you are if you don’t have the right directions. Are you headed in the right direction?

Suppose you wanted to go to a city in Texas but you were given a map to Florida mislabeled Texas? Following the directions would not work even if you changed your tried harder, or increased your speed. You would still be lost! The problem is not your attitude or effort. The problem is you have the wrong map.

Many homeschoolers are following the wrong map on their homeschool journey. They follow the state standards, curriculum scope and sequence or SAT benchmarks. This unique unit study is a map to TRUE Wisdom.

A map is not a territory it is explanation of certain aspects of a territory. In this study you will learn that true wisdom is understanding and knowing God. The moment we understand and know God–we begin to see His holiness–we see His purposes, His love for men; we know who God is, so there’s never any hesitation to obey Him. By following this map to Wisdom you and your students will learn:

• Where the wise path is and how to stay on it.
• How to stay off the worldly path
• How to set wise goals
• The importance of obedience
• How to pray for wisdom
• How to study God’s Word
• How to make wise decisions
• How to choose friends wisely
• How to choose counsel wisely
• How to Managing Conflict Wisely
• How to have the ultimate relationship with Christ
• And more!

This study is one of the most important things you will ever do with your children!

There are two ways to live life wisely or unwise. When we follow the path of wisdom the results are joy, peace, contentment, confidence and in the presence of God. The results of living unwisely are conflct, discouragement, disappointment, dissolution, and discontentment. Can you see this information is more important than any academics?

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:15-17.

According to Proverbs, the wise man has length of days and long life and peace and prosperity. God desires that we walk wisely so we can become the persons He created us to be and accomplish the work He has called us to do.

Concerned homeschooling parents are always asking “Am I doing enough?” This book answers this question and includes the checklists for academic evaluation for each grade K-8 and much more. Robin explains our children need to obtain academic knowledge, but, more importantly, they need to acquire the wisdom to know how to use the knowledge!

“You may be interested in this book because it includes the state standards but you will come away from it inspired to rely on God’s standards!”

Academic standards should not be separated from spiritual standards! We need to teach the whole child according to the child’s individual God-given gifts. True wisdom progresses beyond intellectual pursuit; it is practical. The goals outlined in this book will help you prepare, teach, and evaluate your children from a Biblical world view. It will also advise you in helping them become self-motivated, lifelong learners.

Find Out:

• What are the State Requirements
• What are God’s Requirements
• How Children Taught in Bible Times
• How to Prepare Goals for the Year
• How to Overcome Testing Fears
• How to Overcome Child’s Testing Fears
• If the Achievement Test Scores Accurate
• Can the Bible be the Core of all Teaching?
• How Greek Philosophy Influenced Public Education
• How the Hebrews Educated Their Children
• About the Heart of Wisdom Approach

Section I

 The first section explains how we have been conditioned to believe the state is competent to assess our children’s intelligence! You’ll learn how different a Christian world view is and how to RENEW your mind to get rid of this “public education mentality.” Includes a look at the Greek history of state education compared to history of Biblical education. The Hebrews focused on the home. Worship, family and academics were taught in the home, not separated subjects in individual locations. The home was more important then the synagogue. The center of all life– religious, education, and training–was the home.

Section II

The second section explains what achievement tests are, test terms, test scores, testing limitations, avoiding testing anxiety, possible benefits from testing, states that require testing, alternative methods of evaluation, and much more.
Section III

Section III explains a new teaching approach (based on a combination of several effective approaches) called The Heart of Wisdom. The Heart of Wisdom teaching approach is centered around reading the Bible through in one year and the creation of a Bible portfolio. The Bible is the main focus and the core of the curriculum, with the secondary focus dedicated developing writing skills using the “writing to learn” method. The H.O.W. approach leads progressively to a renewed mind and to a self-chosen commitment to a life of intellectual and moral integrity. You can use this approach as explained, or adapt it to the methods and curriculum you are using.

Section IV

Section IV includes check lists are divided according to grade level K-8: Math, Science, Language Arts, and Social Science. Studies show “Evaluation Check Lists” are far superior to Achievement Tests! You can evaluate and make notes for up to five children with these lists.There are also Bible Reading checklist and a Character Traits list. Also includes two extensive glossaries and valuable reproducible forms.

Author: Diane Alive4Him@aol.com I feel I must share this and pass on what has been a blessing to me. After much contemplation and reasoning (excuses) children are older (5th & 7th), already have resources of this nature, do I really need another book like this, etc., I listened to my heart (and confessed again all the money I had wasted on curriculum out of fear) and bought the book – What Your Child Needs to Know When. The main reason it appealed to me was because of all the descriptions telling how it had been revised and expanded and included not so much what the state expects, but first and foremost what and how the Lord wants our families focused on and the biblical model of learning and the education of our children. This book is great!!! The bibliography is excellent– I had already read some of the books and found more I would like to read, but Mrs. Sampson has pulled all these resources together for a convicting, mind-renewing read that leaves one not only informed, but challenged and focused on the Lord for His perfect direction for our children– their hearts and mind and education. If you’ve not yet been exposed to this kind of thinking, then this is an excellent resource to read. If you have already been exposed to this kind of thinking and the renewing and growing is ongoing, then this is an excellent book to read. I am blessed that I live in a state where achievement testing is not mandatory, but I still will have use and value for the evaluation lists. But even if you never use any of this information, the first half of the book which is what I have thus described is worth every cent. If you keep a list of items you either want to purchase or look at book fairs, etc., this is one to put on that list! If someone needs more information, I’ll be glad to give it.

Author: Peggy Lago I recently bought and received your book What Your Child Needs to Know When. I have to tell you that it is much more than the catalogs describe it as. I have been wanting to run our school days in a different way (with more emphasis on scripture), but didn’t really know how to change my rigid-schedule-ways, and didn’t have the courage to do so for a long time. Even though most of our curriculum (if not all of it) is Biblically-based, (we even use Far Above Rubies for our 7th grade daughter) it just wasn’t enough for me, or at least not the way that I wanted things. It has seemed to me in the past that if I didn’t run a tightly scheduled ship, that things would run amuck, get out of hand, and that the kids just didn’t seem to get their things done by the end of the day when left to work at their own pace. To avoid seeing some child aimlessly walking around, or wasting time, I decided long ago that we would have a schedule to go by to keep them focused. However, I have never really liked it! I want to be Spirit-led in my schooling. I have read some things that started me thinking of how I could get going in the direction I so desired. The thing that helped me do it was your book! I loved the philosophy of teaching and the example of what a typical day might be like for you. God must have really got a hold of me then and things have been really different in our house! If we weren’t done with Bible by 8:30 before, I would announce it was time for math! (Sad, Huh?) Now, we start Bible maybe by 8 or 8:30 and sometimes go until 10 or 10:30! And the most exciting thing about it is that after Bible ( worship, and memory verses, and much discussion), the kids seem to go on their way and get their work done better and more quickly than before. It has been astounding to me that they get done sooner than before! Thank you for being obedient to the Lord and for being an example to me. My husband and I are first generation Christians, and I am always blessed by Titus 2 kind of women, even after being a believer for 17 years, married for 14, and with four children of my own. Also, after all of the stuff on the loop awhile back about the lesson plans… I like them… thank you! I do have trouble picking though because all the options are so good!

Author: Regina Ulmer, reginau@arkansas.net I’m currently reading your book What Your Child Needs to Know When and it is EXCELLENT!!, and I can’t wait to begin the Heart of Wisdom teaching approach. I felt like it was an answer to prayer when I read about it. Keep up the great work and may God bless you!!

Author: Customer I loved the “What Your Child Should Know When” book. I was feeling more and more freedom as a Mom/Educator and growing to understand even more fully, WHO I AM as a Christian! (Geez, I’m 38, it takes soo long, it seems)… I have recommended these materials to mothers over and over and over! I love going deeper with my girls in the Word. This was lacking terribly for our first 3 years, but I didn’t really ‘get’ what was discouraging me so. Now, I feel a real sense of purpose, vision and accomplishment. I praise God for how we are growing. I know we are just scratching the surface on all He has to teach and show us. Worship time is also very important to us, and that has gotten put aside a little for this, so i need balance. …. We just love it!

Author: Pam from Texas I purchased this book after discovering another book by the same author, titled: “A Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays.” This book was such an inspiration to me and helped me to re-evaluate my curriculum choices. For fans of Charlotte Mason and Ruth Beechick, this is a must read! For everyone else considering homeschooling, this book will introduce you to a God-centered method of educating your children, while ensuring you have guidelines to meet state educational standards at the same time.

Author: Happy Customer I bought your “What Your Child Needs to Know When”updated, years ago and recently brought it down to reread it. I didn’t have benefit of reading the first edition but appreciate your admitting to stepping down from earlier conceptions of what is acceptable, grade level,even Biblical or Greek in reference to those timetables we all have whirling in our heads.One confirmation God often gives me that I am plodding along the path intended for my family (OK perhaps not the path but at least on the map somewhere) is continued revelation to just how faulty my conception of education is was and continues to be and how HE continues to encourage my enlightenment despite my relentless insistence on using the compass rose of others. Thanks again Robin!

Author: Joy Lynn Martin Well, glory be to God! I am very encouraged by all these great reviews. I am getting very excited about the fact that my children our comming out of public school and the one year we did homeschool before I had to go to work…well, I didn’t have any money and I prayed asked God “what do i do to teach them”? He told me to use the Bible! “That will get you revelating”! I’m still poor, but God knows how to provide and I will be ordering your book “What Your Child Needs to Know and When” as soon as I possibly can. Please, pray for us as we are preparing to have our precious gifts home with me again full-time. The home is truly the God given place for learning. Fact! I can hardly wait Robin, and I haven’t even read it yet! Love and Prayers..Joy

Author: near muse One is said to need to run in another’s shoes in order to be qualified to judge them. But… my summary of Robin’s fine book, What Your Child Needs to Know When, is in the form of a running metaphore: When you are challenged by the world to compete in its race, don’t fall to thinking that you ought best use shoes, track, stopwatch, and finish line, that are approved by the world. The world’s standards are both wrong and too low.

Author: Lizzie I’ve been home schooling for 20 years and I didn’t fully realize why God wanted me to home school until I got your material. I still have several children at home so I’m excited that I can spend time with them learning what God wants us to learn and that is more in depth in His Word!

Author: danielle Thank you for all your on-line samples. It makes it easier to make a decision. I appreciate your products and the Biblical emphasis. We have the Biblical Holidays and What Your Child Needs to Know When. Thank you for reminding everyone of the true reason we homeschool!

Author: Annmairi I didn’t realize what the book What Your Child Needs to Know When was all about when I bought it. What can I say…curriculum shopping with 4 children.The book is so much mroe than I was expecting. I haven’t even actually “read” it….I read the first chapter and then skimmed through the rest of the book and just WOW! I think this is for which I have been desperately searching.I have really been looking for something that would teach all of us (children and parents) how to fully integrate our beliefs into everything…making the Bible the basis…not just merely an occasional inflection or stand-alone-ish subject.Anyway, I am really excited about the things I have seen so far in the book.

Ancient History: Adam to Messiah

The first goal of this book is to inspire students to become “hearers and doers” of God’s Word and to encourage them to search the Scriptures and apply them to everyday situations. The second goal is to teach students a love of learning that will last a lifetime.

This collection of seven unit studies covers a time frame from Creation through the time of Christ in two unique ways:

(See full user reviews at the bottom of this page) “Your work is brilliant!!! I have researched your work for the past few months. I like to use the Charlotte Mason method and find your curriculum MOST informative… ” “We have studied ancient history, but never like this before… We have studied Egypt, The Greeks, etc but I was always left wondering where God’s people were at and what they were doing during this time period…Now it’s like we are studying with new eyes…” “She [our daughter] spends hours a day on her assignments. She has learned so much about God and his word and His world…” “…You have done a fantastic job creating a God centered history curriculum..” “The books Robin has written and the resources that are shared within HOW are phenomenal..” “I was drawn to these studies because of the focus on the Bible.

I love going deeper with my girls in the Word…I feel a real sense of purpose, vision & accomplishment.” “…My children and I LOVE it. I have never seen anything quite like it.

Homeschool Reviews

Author: Excited! HOW is the best curriculum I have ever seen and/or used in the secular or Christian homeschool market- bar none! Nothing compares to it at all!! According to the kids- and me! However, it is tied in popularity- according to our children, not just me-with one other Hebrew based curriculum that had activities more to their liking (not so much writing all the time, every lesson, but more visual things ready made, to aid them), but it does not use internet links, which we LOVE. So we blend both curriculums together when possible. Thus we will continue to use HOW. It is extremely comprehensive in it’s coverage of a subject. Nothing is left out. Plus- you don’t have to buy any key resource books if you cannot afford it. You can use the internet links and still cover everything in detail! So it is quite economical for families with small budgets. THAT is liberating in itself!We loved all the internet links. There was no way you could NOT learn, or miss something with the abundance of links for each e-book. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for the truth in history/ science told in a non-threatening way. Not doctrinal teachings, but the actual truth, no matter where that leads for your children and you. And what could be more Biblical than that?The Bible incorporated into daily FIRST readings, as the primary curriculum, was the best thing we have ever done for our children. The perfect way to start a day, instead of trying to fit it in as a small subject. IT IS the subject, then all else falls in around it. And as Robin said once, if you get nothing else done that day, at least the most important thing has been finished. THAT is what we want for our children. The firmest foundation possible.

Author: quitalamae@aol.com My daughter (10th grade) never thought she would like unit studies. I convinced her to give HOW a shot and now she is begging for more. She spends hours a day on her assignments. She has learned so much about God and his word and His world. Thanks…

Author: davidcap@maine.rr.com …great overall experience. You have done a fantastic job creating a God centered history curriculum. My kids are never very excited to study history, but when we start to get into it, they all seem really take an interest, & have learned so much…

Author: Unknown I am using the Ancient History:Adam to Messiah bound book and I thoroughly enjoy it! My children like being able to choose their own activities and they can be as simple or complex as I need them to be according to the ages of my children. Thanks ..

Author: Melissa in Texas We have studied ancient history, but never like this before… We have studied Egypt, The Greeks, etc but I was always left wondering where God’s people were at and what they were doing during this time period…Now it’s like we are studying with new eyes

Author: Dee, dandptuck@ao.com I am overjoyed to find Hebrew definitions and meanings included in the lesson studies. I know that God intends for my family to apply His Word in every part of our lives. Never was there an intention that we separate education and spirituality…

Author: samac5@earthlink.net The books Robin has written and the resources that are shared within HOW are phenomenal. HOW has paved the way to many an enlightened discussion in our bible studies and around our lunch and diner tables. Thank you for such enrichment…

Author: Lglavic@aol.com I love Heart of Wisdom. I am so grateful to the Lord for bringing this program to my attention. Your web site has also prodded me toward learning about Hebrew roots and Biblical Holidays. I feel like I’m entering a whole new world in my relationship to the Lord. I am using HOW as the history program for my 11 year old and we are learning so much together. My high school son is using HOW for his Bible curriculum. It will take my younger son 2 or 3 years to complete and my older son only has 1 year left of school so he will finish it in one year. I am so excited to be putting this material into both boys hearts so that they can have God’s wisdom and make wise decisions for their life. Thank you so much for this program! It is making a big difference in our lives.

Author: Janie – janiegib@hotmail.com I used Sonlight as a beginning homeschooler and appreciated the layout of timing & material usage (& the wonderful books), however; the H.O.W. focus point reaches for a greater depth in the study of and relationship with God that is precious to my soul and to the heart and focus of my family. THIS (H.O.W.)is the way the Creator of my family has beckoned my heart to rear these children I’m blessed to have. Thank you, Robin, for obeying the Creator in your responsibility with H.O.W. so that I, in turn, can obey Him in my responsibility with my children. This curriculum achieves the high hope my heart held for our homeschooling experience and my personal experience as a mother and an ever-learning believer. Importantly, too, lessons are already planned out for easy preparation. What a joy I count it all!

Author: Grateful I appreciate best is that HOW gives me a game plan for teaching what I want to teach my children. It gives to me what I don’t have time to research and plan by myself…

Author: Unknown I was drawn to these studies because of the focus on the Bible. But quite honestly, what is keeping me is the quality of content and the ease in lesson preparation!! I plan on staying with these studies as they come out…

Author: Unknown I really appreciate the internet links and reference lists. It is a big help, and reduces the time needed to prepare lessons. We also appreciate the reference to bibles verses in each unit. We are really enjoying our Ancient History: Adam to Messiah

Author: Unknown I have found that using H.O.W. has developed in my daughter a love of the bible and has made a great change in her character development….and there are so many things that catch her interest …gives us a sense of focus…..

Author: plummers@dca.net I L-O-V-E it. I am praising God for this marvelous curriculum! I am thanking Him for your steadfastness and dedication! Thank you to you, too! This is just what I have been looking for, and I am thrilled to have it available to us!! There is no labor that isn’t a thousand times more than planned – I just *know* that you will be reaping HUGE blessings from your labors with HOW for a l-o-n-g time to come. On the days that it really gets too much – PLEASE remember what a HUGE blessing you are giving many sincere Moms who are VERRRRRRRRRRRRRY grateful and thanking God for your work!

Author: Sarah Demarest …Our children are 7, 8 and 9, and their 4th step includes writing assignments, penmanship, dictation, map work, drawing, coloring, study of additional resources, and the occasional “project,” such as a diorama, salt dough map, or role play. THANK YOU…

Author: Farmville, Virginia excellent book.The studies on the ancients are tremendous,like nothing we have ever done before. I had used other units to try and study this time period,and was not impressed.But,t his one fits the bill…

Author: continued …I love studying about the related materials and NOT about the false gods of the time periods .Using the Bible as a literature text sure hooked me on this too. It is easy to use and not at all rigid.We are loving it and this is a rare treat and blessing

Author: qooqoomom from Longmont, CO I love this book as a resource for ancient history. It is well set up, easy to use-even for multiple ages, and full of insights into the time periods.

Author: Debra This is one of the “best” out there.My daughter and I both are in love with this study .I like the fact that there are no studies on false gods of the ancient world and the choices are so many on the different assignments.This is what hooked us in. I can only hope that the other units are ready when we need them .I highly recommend this! Even if you have never done units before-you can pick this one up and do it.

Author: Laura I wanted to let you know just how much I appreciate the “Ancient History: Adam to Messiah” unit study. My children and I LOVE it. I have never seen anything quite like it. It is so wonderful to be able to use something where the children (and myself!) not only research historical events, but discover scriptural truth and evidence in them also. It is so fascinating! Some day, when my life slows down a bit, I would like to do what my son is doing in your book. Thank you so much for the time and effort you spent in putting this together. I can’t wait for the next units that come out!

Author: Donna I L-O-V-E it. I am praising God for this marvelous curriculum! I am thanking Him for your steadfastness and dedication! Thank you to you, too! This is just what I have been looking for, and I am thrilled to have it available to us!! There is no labor that isn’t a thousand times more than planned – I just *know* that you will be reaping HUGE blessings from your labors with HOW for a l-o-n-g time to come.

Author: Homeschool family since 1991 This is a great curriculum! We have been putting together our own bible based unit studies for years. This year due to health problems and less time we would have to purchase something already laid out. I thought I would have to settle for a lesser curriculum. To our Relief this curriculum meets and perhaps exceeds our High standards by the many internet links, books lists and more. I have easily adapted it to include our younger students too! Thanks

Author: Nancy I am using HOW with one daughter now (age 14) and another (age 13) will soon join her. I love it. It is so versatile both in use for different ages and in activities for different learning styles, etc. It is the first Bible study plan that I have stuck with for more than a week or two. Plenty of variety in this area too. The lessons are well-written and offer many resources, both books and Internet, so there’s no trouble finding information for research. The web site gives lots of ideas for simplifying it for younger students too as well as tons of good info on educational philosophy which I love reading and rereading!

Author: Becky Jones I am ever grateful for the work you’ve put into all of these various editions you’ve published that help us better understand our spiritual heritage. So, with a grateful heart, have a wonderful day with your loving family. We have 9 children and are so thankful for the privilege to teach them at home-you’ve helped make my/our job very satisfying. Blessings,

Author: in Hawaii, Denise Baligad The Heart of Wisdom Curriculum is an answer to my prayers. I totally identified with your journey and desired to teach my children (5-children 10yo and under) God’s Word. Your book finally opened my eye’s about what true education was– God’s wisdom.

Author: Kelly Summers My children are 6 and 8. When I discovered your website I began praising God for His faithfulness. Everything you teach is exactly what I had been Praying and searching for. I ‘ve just started Adam to Abraham, and yes it is VERY easy to teach this to younger children. I am constantly amazed at how well children learn when they are challenged with truth! Thank you for All your hard work. May God continue to give you wisdom as you remain faithful to His calling!

Author: Life changing Using HOW has been a life-changing experience for our entire family. We spend more time together in God’s Word and are growing in our understanding together! Learning Israel’s history has been a tremendous benefit to understanding all of history, past, present, and future. Also, learning about our Hebrew roots has brought new life to our relationship with God thru Jesus Christ. The Science Units are wonderful as well, tying it all together in the creation order. We are just beginning the Wisdom Unit and are gleaning so much already. I know that God orchestrated HOW becoming part of our homeschooling.

Author: Renewed We are very excited about this “renewed” style of learning and the Hebrew based education that has become the center of our lives. We are so very grateful for everything that Robin has created within Heart of Wisdom. The books she has written and the resources that are shared within HOW are phenomenal. HOW has paved the way to many an enlightened discussion in our bible studies and around our lunch and diner tables. Thank you for such enrichment.

Author: Unknown My 16 year old has always been in Christian school until last year. He has always struggled to learn and hated school. Last year I saw him beginning to rebel like so many others his age. I did Abeka last year at home with him and he hated it too. All summer I searched the web for something better and when I finally ran across the Heart of Wisdom web site, I felt my spirit dance inside me. I knew in my spirit that this is what the Lord wanted me to do. So this year I began my son, a junior on your program and he is thriving. His moods are better. He does his school work without being asked and is eager to do it. He does not argue hardly at all. He got grounded for not finishing some work and when I told him he could not go out with his friends until he finished his work, he did not argue or nothing(it was 4 days). It just goes to show that when we do things the Lords way He blesses us. I thank God for all the work you have done on this and will be doing. May God bless you and all your gifts to His work!!

Author: Unknown I first heard about HOW from a book called “The Things We Wish We’d Known” I was depressed with what I thought were my curriculum options, and was looking for some encouragement. I found your article and immediately used the address listed in the back of the book to find your books. Read as much as I could, prayed about making this huge change in our schooling. It’s frightening to toss out the textbooks.We have loved the change to HOW curriculum, I wish I had made this change years ago. I have always wanted to teach this way, but I was afraid of my own short-comings. I was afraid I didn’t have the knowledge that it would take to successfully teach my children without textbooks. We had started a timeline, but it sat undone because we didn’t know where to find the resources to complete it. We started studying and celebrating the Biblical feasts; you gave us the nudge we needed to have a full experience of the feasts, without feeling like we were neglecting our school studies. We are thrilled with the change to HOW, school is finally the way of life we had wanted it to be. Thank You from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you for all of the time and energy that you have put into this work, so that other mom’s can be a success.

Author: Unknown I love the Hebraic focus. HOW Ancient History is very complete, easy to use and we love the Hebrew vocabulary lessons. We already had a few of the resources. (Writer’s Express, Beechick, Kingfisher) I have circulated this through our homeschooling support group and you have subsequently gotten a lot of exposure and three orders of “What your child needs to know when”, and another HOW unit study order. Thank you for excellent resources!!

Author: Unknown This is a great study for the whole family… even my husband and college-aged son get in on some of the studies in the evenings. We also have a neighbor boy or two who occasionally join us in the afternoons for some of our best HOW studies that I save to do with them. )

Author: Unknown I love the Heart of Wisdom unit studies. My children are excited about school since we started these unit studies. My main reason for home schooling was to teach my children that God is the center, beginning and end of everything and this curriculum does just that. Thank you

Author: Mom of 3 What has absolutely helped me more than anything else is the 4 step lessons applied to our Bible time. I LOVE setting aside the first hour and a half each day to pray, worship, and study together. Our children are 7, 8 and 9 (almost 10), and their 4th step includes writing assignments, penmanship, dictation, map work, drawing, coloring, study of additional resources, and the occasional “project,” such as a diorama, salt dough map, or role play. THANK YOU for challenging us to use the Bible as the “heart” of our studies. By the way, we only get through a chapter or two each day, but that works for us…we figure we’ll finish the Bible in about 5 years! We are using the NIV for now so that everyone can help in the reading.

Author: Homeschool Mom It has been a terrific resource for my own study which, in my opinion, is without question the most undermentioned area of homeschooling across the board for new and seasoned homeschoolers alike. Had I had this year’s I am certain my approach toward “unschooling” would have been much less a factor, though honestly I am thankful I did it that way, then plowed on forward into my own understanding of “education.” I knew this was what God had intended for me after a very short time on your web site. I may not utilize all lessons or resources with my kids, but those we do are memorable to all of us. His timing is certainly not mine,come to think of it…and in all likelihood I would have had very unrealistic expectations on myself and my two children if I had found this earlier… I bought your What Your Child Needs to Know When;updated, years ago and recently brought it down to reread it. I didn’t have benefit of reading the first edition but appreciate your admitting to stepping down from earlier conceptions of what is acceptable,grade level,even Biblical or Greek in reference to those timetables we all have whirling in our heads. One confirmation God often gives me that I am plodding along the path intended for my family (OK perhaps not the path but at least on the map somewhere) is continued revelation to just how faulty my conception of education is was and continues to be and how HE continues to encourage my enlightenment despite my relentless insistence on using the compass rose of others. Thanks again Robin! left by: Anonymous

Author: Homeschooled KID I LOVE HOW! It’s really cool. I really like the 4 Step curriculum and how it has a biblical approach… there are so many curriculum writers out there that take the “I believe in everything” approach to not offend anyone. Keep up the good work.

Author: Unknown I am a sales manager and trainer for NESTFamily, certified in Christian education and biblical integration. Never, never have I seen better integrated products. I would sell them if I wasn’t in leadership with NEST.

Author: Nancy Carter (nancyjocarter@juno.com) A friend was so excited about HOW she showed a few of us moms! She showed us her notes and both of her childrens’ notebooks they’d created using the techniques from HOW. My interest was piqued and I went online the next day and ordered the first unit study. Today I will be ordering the complete study Adam-Messiah. I am using it with both of my girls, ages 5 and 12. We are all learning! Thanks so much for putting this curriculum together. God bless you and your staff!

Author: Pastor Morris T. Chea I have view these books and various topics. I shall continue to study them. There are very good.

Join biblical health author Hope Egan and lifelong healthy eater Amy Cataldo as they unveil the long-awaited follow-up to What the Bible Says about Healthy Living.

Helping you incor­porate God’s ingredients into your life—simply and without sacrificing taste—this companion cookbook shows you how to prepare meals, snacks and desserts based on the principles outlined in What the Bible Says about Healthy Living. For years biblical health experts have been telling you how to think about biblical eating. Now there is a complete cookbook that helps you take action:

HOPE EGAN has written several books, including Holy Cow! Does God Care about What We Eat? She is an editor for First Fruits of Zion, an educational ministry that teaches about the Hebraic roots of Christianity.

AMY CATALDO, a lifelong healthy eater and homemaker, is passionate about cooking with God’s ingredients—and sharing her experience and knowledge with others.

“I am enthusiastic in my recommendation of the What the Bible Says about Healthy Living Cookbook. It is, in many ways, the long-awaited companion to my book, What the Bible Says about Healthy Living.”–Rex Russell, M.D.

“These simple to prepare recipes should inspire anyone who wants to honor their body—God’s Temple—and feed their family from a biblical perspective.”–Jordan Rubin–New York Times best-selling author of The Maker’s Diet.

I was excited as soon as I saw the words “A Family Writing Lifestyle.” Mary Ann shares valuable insights not only about writing itself, but about passing on the gift of written expression as a family tradition . What a gift to pass on to your children —the ability to capture insights, record memories, and relate perceptions and feelings.

The importance of teaching your children to write cannot be overstated. Skillful writers influence society. Christian writers have the privilege of encouraging, teaching, and strengthening others to have a closer relationship with God. The late Dr. Paul Bubna, former President of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, wrote,

“It may be true that a picture is worth a thousand words, but we must not miss the fact that writing words has a unique power all its own. Something powerful happens to the person who writes the words. It is one thing to think the thought, it is quite another to put it into words and see it on paper, or even a computer screen. That process opens a door of intimacy with one’s self that may be unmatched any other way.”

Our spiritual lives, our success in the work world, and our social networks all require the skill of writing. Writing skills are vital in today’s changing culture. Written communication declined during the age of the telephone but with the development of the computer people are writing again in the form of emails and blogging (on line journaling).

In my book, The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach, I encourage parents to teach their children to write to learn, also known as writing across the curriculum. Mary Ann embraces the same concept because she understands how writing helps to generate thoughts and to organize them logically and concisely. Writing can bring experiences, thoughts and opinions together. We write to express ideas, share stories, document history, imagine the future, express love, and dispense humor. When students tackle a subject, they can experiment with different techniques and strategies for writing. They discover new ideas, new ways of thinking and new methods of expressing themselves. When you teach your children to document their thoughts, feelings, and ideas on paper, you are equipping them with a gift they will use for a lifetime. Mary Ann demonstrates the practical steps to develop this type of writing into a family lifestyle.

This book will be a useful guide for any teacher and especially beneficial to homeschoolers. Most homeschoolers are fond of Charlotte Mason’s educational philosophies which emphasize real-life activities over academic exercises. Mary Ann agrees with Mason explaining how writing assignments that are viewed as academic exercises cause the child to lose the adventure of writing. Mason’s admirers will appreciate how Mary Ann’s unique approach is in agreement with Mason’s philosophy “… we believe that children’s’ minds are capable of digesting real knowledge, so we provide a rich, generous curriculum that exposes children to many interesting, living ideas and concept.” Mary Ann will show you how families working on individual and joint writing projects can motivate children to catch the excitement of relevant writing and come to understand that the art of writing is a powerful life tool.

I became eager to try out Mary Ann’s methods when I read how she taught her children to write using a real-life approach following the rules of an adult writing group. She posed as a mock publisher to lead her children through the writing process from query letters to contracts and finished publications, complete with book signings, and marketing techniques. What a great idea! About a dozen years ago when my grown children were young and learning to write they each created a book using Creating Books with Children by Valerie Bendt as a guide. Through the creation of their books they learned the writing, illustrating, editing processes but they never learned the query and submission processes . Here we are over a decade later writing again, with my youngest children, using Mary Ann’s ideas. I look forward to adding more finished writing products to my somewhat yellowed and faded but treasured papers of childhood thoughts, stories, inspiration, opinions, and beliefs to our
family files.

Although Mary Ann emphasizes forming a writing group, this is only one segment of her collection of ideas. This book contains much more. You will also learn how writing activities and rituals can be woven through the day, year, and even throughout life. Activities include ideas for family journaling, letter writing, Bible journaling, goal journaling, celebration journaling, apology letters, thank-you notes, and even writing to deal with loss and grief. This book is not about the educational nuts and bolts of writing, but is intended to celebrate and inspire writing in the home. Nurturing a Write Relationship will help you develop a family writing lifestyle and tradition.

• Section I teaches you the importance of creating a safe place to write, allowing children to experiment with language. Children will become confident writers when they receive support and encouragement as they move through the writing process.
• Section II details writing education principles. Mary Ann explains how to learn from great writers and how to be a writing mentor to your children. She also dispels several writing myths.
• Section III explains the publishing process for a writing group from vision to revision to the completed process.
• Section IV encourages you to develop a family writing lifestyle with family rituals, traditions, and celebrations and investigates a Biblical view of writing.
• Section V includes many ideas for integrating writing into daily life and closes with the twelve writing principles of a family writing lifestyle.

Mary Ann’s book is full of several first-rate unique ideas to teach children to write that make writing a fun family experience. She provides an attractive combination of solid advice and clever insights on how to motivate and cultivate your children’s writing. I’m giving this book to each of my grown children to support them in their efforts to teach their children to write. I hope your family will spend time developing a family writing lifestyle. I promise it will be time well spent and the benefits are many.

If you’re looking for a book that will help you celebrate and inspire writing at home, then NURTURING THE WRITE RELATIONSHIP is a must have! In this creative piece, you won’t find formal instructions on the nuts and bolts of teaching writing, but instead you’ll find valuable insight on the hows and whys of writing!

BACK COVER

Wonderfully written by Mary Ann Froehlich, NURTURING THE WRITE RELATIONSHIP will draw you into the magical world of writing from the heart in the safe place we call home. From the very beginning, Froehlich gives the reader insight into her own personal world of writing and encourages readers to stop reading at any given point so that they can start writing. She also inspires writers to keep trying, as she cites examples of famous authors who didn’t experience instant success.

The book is based on a homophone (words that sound the same but are spelled in various ways):

• WRITE—Understand the importance and develop the use of the written word
• RITE—Understand the importance of cultivating rituals in family life
• RIGHT— Understand the importance of communication in developing right relationships

Froehlich believes that the adventure of writing is lost when writing assignments are viewed as academic exercises. Instead, she introduces exercises for writers, such as journaling, letters, memoirs and more. Her “10 Principles for Effective Writing,” similar to the Suzuki method of teaching music skills, is concise and intuitive.

“If you only remember one statement from this book, let this be it: As a parent, you are your child’s most influential writing mentor. You are the example.” Froehlich expresses this concept about mentors throughout the book. With an approach that refuses to stereotype individuals’ methods of writing, Froehlich encourages writers to express their God-given ability to use the power of words to deal with everything in life, from grief to celebration!

In addition to giving creative advice on how to nurture writing within the home, Froehlich provides valuable resources for writing groups and teachers, including an excellent exercise for teachers to use in their classes with young writers that takes them through the entire publishing process from query letters to sales and marketing.

Interspersed with quotes about writing, NURTURING THE WRITE RELATIONSHIP is a treasure for anyone who longs to write.

Available in paperback or downloadable Ebook.

   Comment by Kathleen :

   I’ve read this book and it is overflowing with excellent ideas for incorporating writing into every day life. One of my favorite parts is where she explains the book publishing process – what a great idea and motivator to get kids writing. The 10 educational principles of writing were new to me and very thought provoking, such as treating the young writer as a working author by giving him an audience. Isn’t that what we do with music students? We give them an arena to display their talents through a recital. Young writers need a similar showcase for their talents. I also love the lists of special days she provides(and there are tons) to celebrate through writing. Lots of scope for the imagination as Anne Shirley would say I highly recommend it.

A Multilevel, Bible Focused, Heart of Wisdom Unit Study utilizing the Charlotte Mason Approach, and the Internet!

The first eleven chapters describe Creation, the Fall, the Flood, and the origin of nations. Genesis 12-50 is the ancestral story. The focus of this unit study is on Genesis 1-12 revealing Jesus in Genesis!Genesis 1-12 stories include the divine act that brings humanity and history into existence, and enables humanity to exist, multiply, diversify, and disperse upon the earth.

It is the story of how God creates a world that is good, but that becomes corrupted by sin, which enters the world through human disobedience. Adam and Eve ate fruit which was forbidden to them, and Cain murdered his brother Abel.

God later commanded Noah to build an ark in which pairs of all living things were preserved from the great flood which God sent to purge the earth. God set the rainbow as a remembrance of His covenant with Noah. Afterward, people began building a tower that would reach to heaven in order to make a name for themselves, but God confused their speech and scattered them. God again appointed a man, Abraham, with whom to establish His covenant.

What You Get!

This organized yet flexible Bible focused unit study includes:

• Overview
• Objectives
• Timeline
• Vocabulary
• Annotated Resource Lists (books, Internet sites, videos, software, etc)
• 14 Four-Step Lessons

Cookbook Analogy

The simplest way to understand the Heart of Wisdom teaching approach is to compare it to a cookbook of recipes. I have worked on several recipes for over fifteen years; I have altered the ingredients, measurements and methods for these recipes over the years, and finally came up with nourishing and satisfying results. You can use my recipes as outlined, or adapt them to your family’s preferences.

This cookbook not only provides the recipes but also explains the background of the ingredients and cooking methods to help you make the best use of them. A recipe consists of combining a number of individual ingredients that may not ordinarily be thought of being put together, resulting in new dish. The Heart of Wisdom teaching approach is a combination of several different methods and resources. A cookbook and a teaching approach are both resources which include many kinds of information—from ingredients and sources, to proportions, methods of mixture and preparation, to particular kinds and uses of utensils.

The Main Recipe: Daily Study of God’s Word

The main recipe is an outline for making God’s Word the primary focus of the school day. The chief ingredient is the Bible. This recipe provides step-by-step methods (chronological readings divided into four steps) of mixture and preparation, to particular kinds and uses of utensils (Bible study tools), but does not provide exact measurements. The recipe is more like a grandmother’s rough-guide cooking instruction, “a little bit of this, a pinch of that.” The purpose of this recipe is to serve as an inspiration to the parent/teacher by presenting a variety of teaching ideas.

Side Dish Recipes: Unit Studies Based on God’s World

The other recipes include instructions on how to study God’s world through history, science, and life skills unit studies. The Bible is the most important ingredient for each of these recipes as well. Using these recipes you will be able to teach the following subjects: Bible, history, science, geography, composition, agriculture, religion, government, economics, and many more. The methods of mixture and preparation include learning styles and the four-step cycle of instruction, and delight-directed studying, while using utensils such as living books and the Internet.

This book includes recipes for creating your own unit studies, and also gives you the options of saving time by using a prepared unit study. The Heart of Wisdom teaching approach includes a four-year plan, which is to be repeated three times for a 12-year plan. If you decide to use the Heart of Wisdom teaching approach, you can utilize Heart of Wisdom unit studies or create your own unit studies using and/or adapting the recipes provided.

Planning Your Meals

If you use these recipes, you will need to add side dishes of your choice (math, phonics, foreign language, and other electives), based on your preferences, to create a complete meal. Each student has a wide diversity of strengths, weaknesses, ambitions, and goals. I provide enough direction so you know what’s essential to keep the recipes from failing, but I also give you enough room to let you discover for yourself the best balance of ingredients for your family.

As you learn about this approach, remember that your family cannot thrive on menus, recipes, or analyses of the food—you must spend the time preparing the dishes that will feed your family. When you do this, as long as you don’t leave out the main ingredient—the Bible—your outcome will be a success.

This book begins by preparing the teacher to lean on God for direction. The first chapter compares Israel’s Exodus from Egypt with homeschoolers leaving public school. The author explains, just as many Egypt beliefs remained in Israelites various public education beliefs remain in homeschoolers. Therefore, a reexamination of education choices is needed to bring us into the Promise Land. You are encouraged to let God take charge of your child’s education –by seeking and leaning on Him!
