I bought these books to 1) improve my children's penmanship and the thought processes that enable such dexterity, and 2) to supplement our Bible memorization. My children's penmanship with cursive, script, and printing has improved greatly in a few months' time, so I am grateful we accomplished our #1 goal. The pages are sturdy for erasures and perforated for easy removal--and I did tear them out, due to this helpful feature.
The main gripe I have is the inconsistent lengths of daily exercises. Book 2 especially has several pages with truncated Bible verses and other quotations, with so many ellipses where there could be words (and unbroken sentences) to copy and memorize. Might a later edition of these books feature more actual letters and words, and fewer ellipses?
Leadership and Emotional Sabotage: Resisting the Anxiety That Will Wreck Your Family, Destroy Your Church, and Ruin the World
I love Pastor Wilson’s writing style. This is a great abbreviated commentary on John’s Revelation. My pastor is a pre-mil dispensationalist who is currently preaching through Revelation. 'When the Man Comes Around' also serves as my emotional support as I sit through my pastor’s sermons.
The White Horse King: The Life of Alfred the Great
This book is full of basic biblical teaching on relationships and leadership presented in a way that makes application for today clear. If you don’t already have a leadership crisis on your hands this book almost makes you want just a little one to start working your response muscles. We’ve already bought three more copies for Father’s Day gifts.
IGTBAM is a must read for men to assist them in becoming men. It is also a must read for women to understand men. I highly recommend it for men’s groups and Christian schools that are gender specific whether Protestant or Catholic.
I loved the poetry you chose and the short biography of each author. Thank you for including some of the lesser known works of famous authors. I pick up this book often in my spare time and am always blessed. It’s one of my favorites to gift to new graduates. Thank you for this book.
(Review from my 13 year old) This book is full of action! It made you want to read more and more. - Jack, 13 yo.
This book is SO GOOD!!
Knowing our purpose is so important!
Thank you Rachel!
And thanks for excellent study guide. Was great to use for discussion of the book at our women’s book study at church.
This book is the story of how God makes a king. Well presented and easy to read, and it taught me fascinating things that I did not know before. I'm in awe of what Alfred accomplished for the kingdom of the Anglo-Saxons, which resulted in England, which resulted (in large measure) in the Western world.
This was a very enjoyable read, and I'm thankful to have read it.
I bought this book for my son. I listened to the audiobook and knew my son would enjoy, in fact unbeknownst to me it was already on his books list. A must read!
This Psalter and Hymnal is amazing. I love how it has all the psalms as well as the other categories of hymns. I sometimes feel as though I could conquer all the world and the great powers of hell when singing some of the psalms and battle hymns, and I feel as though I have reached greater depths of adoration and faith.
First time reading Rigney's work and wasn"t disappointed.
From the introduction, Joe Rigney calls out the issue of day: lack of responsible, Godly leaders. But he doesn't just give you the problem but also the answer. Apply the Gospel of Jesus to ALL of life. Be prepared for trouble & rejoice harder than God's enemies. Solid, practical steps to get your feet under you and start moving forward.
Written in Wilson's direct, humorous and pastoral manner. He lays a pretty straightforward case for what drives much of antisemitism. Challenges alot of dispensationalist assumptions. Picked up the book and was not disappointed. Especially in climate of 2024.
As a father of three boys, it's rare to find a book that has them asking for the next chapter. They're hooked. Memorable characters, thrilling and dramatic scenes. Definitely a worthwhile read.
It wasn't quite what I was expecting. However, I have enjoyed it immensely and look forward to reading it alongside Morning and Evening by Spurgeon. I want to have communion with my fellow Christians after every read.
After looking over these products my kiddos were begging to start them-4 months early 😂 We are excited to try something new and challenging. The curriculum looks engaging and simple.
I have really enjoyed the Math Mammoth books. They are short and comprehensive lessons without too much repetition. The tests are quick and straightforward!
I’m looking forward to using this in the fall. The book seems like a simple and streamlined way to approach spelling for my kiddos!
I love the simplicity and thoroughness of the lesson plans. They are easy to alter if needed or to work ahead when possible.
I love the reading guides! They have been quick ways to assess my kiddos understanding of the books. The comprehension sheet also makes adding/changing books easy.
Although we won’t use this curriculum until Fall- after using the Biology 1 this year and seeing the items included in Chemistry 1, I’m very impressed and excited to use this material!
