"Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain". Building a Homeschool: One Prayer At A time focuses on this passage from Psalms. If the "walls" or fences of our homeschools are dilapidated, the gates is non functional or the watchmen (moms) are asleep, the walls can come crashing down. As homeschooling moms, we need to align our lives, our lessons, and our values with God's will for our families and to protect our homes in prayer. Otherwise, we stand in vain and our walls could come crumbling down. Each chapter in Building a Homeschool: One Room at a Time focuses on a chapter from the Book of Nehemiah with excerpts from Esther's life. Each chapter is structured as a devotional with lessons from God's Word and personal applications for your daily life. At the end of each chapter three sections are included: Nehemiah's Petitions, Esther's Plans and the Lord's Prayer. In the first section, prayers from Nehemiah are paraphrased and reworded for the homeschooling mom to pray while in the second section, bible study questions are included to be used as a personal bible study, during family devotions or with other homeschooling moms in a small bible study group. In the last section The Lord's Prayer is used to teach our children how to be men and women of action by teaching them how to have a vibrant prayer life.
