Faithful Parents, Faithful Children—Why We Homeschool

by Donald W. Schanzenbach

Homeschooling is and always has been a lot of hard work. The day in and day out tasks of making curriculum choices, planning lessons, managing the family schedule, and keeping the house in a livable condition, can seem insurmountable at times. So, why do we do it? When friends and family are asking questions about our children How will they be socialized? Don't you want them to be able to play sports or join academic clubs? Will they be able to make it in college and the real world? Do you really think you can teach them everything they need to know?These questions can be discouraging to the most dedicated homeschool parent. In this book, author Don Schanzenbach, addresses all of these questions from a biblical perspective. He discusses education and the family by looking to what the Bible has to say on these topics. The Word has much to say on education, socialization, and the structure of the family. Christian people must take the time to consider what effect the education their children are receiving is having on them, the family, and the nation.This book is a hopeful look at what God has done through faithful families, what He is still doing through faithful families, and what He can do in your family. There is great cause for hope for the future of our children, if only we are faithful.

I have always homeschooled my children, and strongly believe that this is best for them. A book like Faithful Parents, Faithful Children is encouraging to me, reminding me why we homeschool. We do it so that we can teach them about God and why we live for Him. There were so many good points in this book I can't possibly mention them—if you need encouragement to teach your children yourself, this book is a great resource!
