Ok so being in the homeschooling world for a few years at this point, there was not much in here I haven’t already seen or heard about.
However, I would have loved to have something like this in my hands when we first started exploring the homeschooling world. All the resources, websites, learning styles, and general advice you’ll be bombarded with in the group chats (which can be overwhelming at first) are in here with short descriptions and deeper explanations. The resources and suggested readings cover the most popular websites and curriculums. The books recommended are all the most popular ones, and the tips cover everything from daily rhythms, switching from public to home schooling, transcripts and so much more. I also enjoyed the perspective coming from a former school principal/now homeschooling mom.
Highly recommend for those who are new to/interested and asking questions about homeschooling.

Thank you to the publisher for this copy to review!
The Homeschooling Bible was a blessing to me :)
Even though it’s written for those just starting out, I still found it so helpful after years of homeschooling. I felt both encouraged and gently challenged with fresh ideas and new approaches.
Let’s just say I have TONS of sticky notes all throughout the book for me to come back to when I need it!
This book is well organized and structured almost like a reference you can return to again and again. It’s more straightforward than many homeschooling books I’ve read, as it leans less on storytelling and more on practical information and guidance.
I loved how she emphasizes over and over again that homeschooling looks different for every family and it’s true.
I do wish there was a bit more of her personal story. I would have loved to hear more about her transition from being an educator/school principal into home education.
Overall, it helped break down some of the stigma around homeschooling and made it feel a lot more approachable if you’ve been curious about starting. ❤️
She did a great job!

I wish I had this book when I first started my homeschooling journey. It can feel so overwhelming to start something new, but Mandy takes you by the hand and goes through ALL the details. You may never feel 100% ready to homeschool, but I definitely think this book will help get you started. I love how beautiful it is and how she asks thoughtful reflection questions so that you start living the life you want with your kids today.

I’m a second generation homeschooler, but the knowledge and encouragement found in The Homeschool Bible is something I’ve not been able to find anywhere else!

I received this early as part of the book launch. There are so many good tips in this book. We’ve been homeschooling for quite a while and it was still a great read. I love the questions at the end of each chapter, they were so helpful. There’s just so much advice in this book. Every homeschooling parent should read this!! I know I’ll be coming back to it time and time again.
Review of advance copy received from Author
The Homeschool Bible is an invaluable resource for anyone contemplating homeschooling or already homeschooling. Mandy Davis offers a unique perspective that sets her apart from other books. As a former principal turned homeschooling parent, she combines her understanding of the educational system with her firsthand experience of homeschooling from the outside. Davis excels in outlining the various homeschooling styles and types, providing practical suggestions for utilizing your space to meet your children’s needs. I particularly appreciated the chapter dedicated to addressing legal questions, as homeschooling laws vary significantly across states. It’s easy to express a desire to homeschool but overlook the complexities involved. This book will undoubtedly serve as a valuable reference for ideas and resources as I continue my homeschooling journey.

The concept would be helpful to someone entirely new to homeschooling. However, the execution is poor because the book is not well-structured. It is quite repetitive and surface-level. The final straw for me to DNF was the author’s extended focus on learning styles which have been repeatedly unproven to have any impact on learning by the relevant research.

This was such an amazing book. As a teen homeschooler, it is hard to find books that make sense for the whole family. This book really opened my eyes to so many new homeschooling possibilities and I recommended it as well to many of my friends who want to begin their homeschool journey. Definitely a good read and highly recommend!

As a homeschool Dad, this is the concise 50,000ft view book that lays out all the big considerations and decisions. It helped me understand my wife’s point of view and given me the insights to better support my homeschooling family. Well written, concise, big picture, insights in to the right details, perspective on what matters.

Great for someone completely new to homeschooling, but seasoned moms might find it a bit introductory.
