5.0 out of 5 stars So thankful I read this book!, August 27, 2004
By Truth reader (South Carolina) - See all my reviews
R.C. Sproul, Jr. reminded me of WHY I am homeschooling. I want children who are a little more like their Heavenly Father every day. The great lightbulb for me as I read the book was that this can be achieved by talking to my children (Deut. 6). It's so simple, but so urgent! I know I have read a great book when, with every turn of the page, I am convinced that I need to put down that book to read my Bible...alone or with my children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Encouragement for Godly Education, April 2, 2005
This book sat on my shelf for a few months before I finally decided to read it last night. I had heard great things from people in my church and from friends abroad; further, I had met Dr. R.C. Sproul, Jr. last November at an event in San Antonio. This was the time, I reckoned, to explore his views on the growing practice of home education.

I was impressed with Dr. Sproul's humble, cogent manner of argumentation. It is very apparent, not only from the illustrations he uses but also from what I have heard about him, that he LIVES what he teaches. If you desire to learn about the Scriptural commands of parental training, read this book. Agree or disagree with him, this is an excellent summary.

Furthermore, Dr. Sproul is not content to make a simple, half-hearted statement about the value of home education. He rejects pragmatism and all forms of unbiblical reasoning by forcing the issue: "By what standard?" His answer: Scripture alone. Dr. Sproul successfully shows the importance of teaching children with a lifestyle-based methodology geared to instill multigenerational, covenantal faithfulness. His views are decidedly reformed, even -- dare I say -- Van Tillian, which adds to the appeal in my mind.

In short: This book does not merely summarize the growing "home schooling movement." It seeks to praise the good, critique the questionable, redirect the wayward, motivate the weary, and instill vision within the faithful. For his efforts, I highly commend Dr. Sproul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Foundational Arguments for Homeschooling, January 20, 2005
What a breath of fresh air this book was. Addressing the foundational reasons for homeschooling your child, it cuts right to the quick of the matter and dispatches the foolish and ungodly with Biblical accuracy. 'Why education?' is a question that many, unfortunately, do not ask themselves before sending their malleable children into the hands of the enemies of the Cross for 40 hours per week. This book answers that critical question.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is seeking to homeschool their children.
