Education: Does God Have an Opinion?
Many studies indicate that Christian youth are leaving the Church, and anti-Christian education has been linked as a major factor in this equation. The Bible is full of instructions on how God desires His children to be educated.

I expected this book to be a basic introduction to the biblical reasons for homeschooling, and I really didn't expect to learn anything I didn't already know. However, I was pleasantly surprised to learn quite a bit. Israel Wayne does an excellent job of giving logical, clear explanations of the different subject areas and why it is imperative for parents to teach their children at home. I highly recommend this book to every Christian parent.

It's hard for most people to accept schooling as a parents responsibility. We want to live the American dream which needs 2 incomes. We as parents need to sacrifice. This is a convicting read.

So much biblical common sense in this book! Don't be afraid to let this book change your mind a bit!
It shows from Scripture that education is parents responsibility (even if we delegate parts of it, we are responsible that children would receive godly instruction in all the subjects). The author talks about the WHY's behind homeschooling, the concept of "government schools", and how different subjects can be taught from different worldviews (for example, biblical worldview and the secular humanist worldview (prevalent in government schools), and, oh, how big the stakes are!

This is a persuasive apologetic for Christian education for our children. His main argument is that scripture exhorts parents (and grandparents) to be the primary educators of our children for the purpose of:
-growing knowledge and understanding of biblical truth and wisdom
-unveiling the character of God through the study of all subject areas under his authority and for His glory
-nurturing the parent/child relationship so that parents are the primary influence and therefore distillers of biblical wisdom in their child's life.
Israel Wayne speaks a bold warning by countering the following arguments often made in favor of public education for Christian children:
-sending children to be salt and light
-perceived neutrality of the government's curriculum
-presence of Christians within the school setting
His chapter on leading our children to discover the character of God revealed through special and natural revelation through the method "Precept, Principle, Person, Practice" is particularly helpful for any parent.
I give this book a 4 because there are some areas where he overstates his position with an abundance of confidence (which I partly admire) but I think it opens him up to be discredited when he is speaking on such a broad array of topics, particularly in the last half of the book that goes through subject areas ranging from Logic, to Math to Science.
This book might rub you the wrong way if you're not used to hearing/reading authoritative positions on this matter. But whether you're planning on homeschooling, sending your children to a private Christian school or sending them to public school, it's worth having your feathers ruffled a little in order to consider the issue in depth. The impact of education choices on our children is significant and our God-given parental responsibility to nurture our children's faith and worldview warrants great care and discernment.

Wow! It’s hard to even know where to start. This book is life-changing for my family. In Part 1, Israel Wayne gives an excellently thorough look at the apologetics of education. My biggest take-away is that we shouldn’t look at government schools, Christian schools, or the homeschooling family across town to decide how to educate our children. We start with a blank slate—and then design from scratch an education that is founded in Scripture.
When we wipe away all of our traditions and preconceived ideas, it is then that we can fully embrace GOD’s plan for training up our children.
Israel gives an in-depth look at government schools—why and how they exist, and how they are set up. He discusses what types of education are permissible by God (Yes—there are many!), and he compares and contrasts Christian Schools with Homeschooling. For any Christian parent who is seeking to make education decisions for your children, this book is the place to start!
In Part 2, Israel gets into the specific subjects that will be taught in education, and discusses how each subject can be grounded in and also reinforce all of Scripture. My first instinct was that this section was more bent toward homeschooling parents or teachers of middle & high school children—but I was wrong! Even as a mom who is just starting PreSchool with my children, I feel these chapters inspired me to set better goals for our homeschooling journey.
Each subject presents a new opportunity to discover another facet of God’s character as we study His creation and His created order. An example: For history, he presents the goal as “to tell both the good and the bad, the lovely and the hideous, all in a way that reflects the sovereign working of God in the midst of a fallen and broken world.” There are plenty of details I will look back on in the years to come as we begin building our children’s education—and because of Israel Wayne, I know we will have the tools to set goals for our homeschool that are truly pleasing to God, in every subject we teach. His book will remain on my shelf as a reference for years to come.
I can not recommend this book enough. If you read this book with an open heart, God just might use all the Scripture in its pages to transform the way you think about education. I know He did for me!

This book is a must read if you are a Christian parent and you have questions about education and your responsibility as a parent in the light of what the Bible tells us. If you aren’t a Christian or don’t believe the Bible is the infallible Word of God, then the information in this book will not apply to you. However, if you really want to know what the Bible says, this book lays out in plain language what the Bible says about parental responsibility when it comes to the education of their children. For me personally, I do believe that when a Christian parent sends their children to be educated by the public schools that they weren’t doing what was best the children but I had never really sat down and looked at all the Scriptures to back up this belief. This book does this. He also goes into a breakdown of the different learning subjects (science, math, etc.) and gives some basic tips about educating your child in those areas from a Biblical standpoint. But my favorite part was the Appendixes. Appendix I is a fictional story that really makes you think about the concept of confiscatory taxation as a means of funding education. This again was an area where I had my personal beliefs but this fictional story helped me realize why confiscatory taxation by our government is a vast over-step of the purposes/boundaries of the government. The author quotes Jefferson, “That to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical; that even the forcing him to support this or that teacher of his own religious persuasion, is depriving him of the comfortable liberty of giving his contributions (voluntarily).” — Thomas Jefferson.
Appendix II is an excellent recap of what the Bible says about Christian Education. If a parent is wanting a clearly laid out summary of what the Bible says about the training and education of children, these 9 pages are it. So, I highly recommend this book to anyone who really wants to know what the Bible says about the parents’ role in educating their children and some practical steps/tips how to educate your children Biblically.

This is a good book to read, specifically for understanding the importance of education and the duties and responsibilities of the family.
There is a lot of good information in this book showing how there is a purposeful and deliberate attempt by men and nations to monopolize the field of education and divorce it from the family in an attempt to indoctrinate the future generations in their own Humanistic ideologies. Parents should pay attention to this and be warned.
Where the author falls short is by putting an overemphasis on the necessity of parents to teach their children the “laws of logic.”
Man is fallen, and this includes his ability to reason properly. Teaching children to trust themselves to determine truth from error by applying the “laws of logic” is not the Biblical approach to reasoning. Thinking and reasoning Biblically is about knowing God's Commandments and applying them to life.
Overall a good read and well thought out otherwise.

The author has a solid grasp of worldview issues and how they relate to education. But I was hoping for more exposition of Scripture. Also, there was no discussion about Christian liberty as regards educational models or methods from such places as Romans 14. That would have been helpful.
December 24, 2022
10/10 recommend. Israel presents an in depth biblical perspective on the roles of the individual, family, church and government, ordained and established by God. All Christian parents should read this one!

Very insightful
Full of Biblical insight and wisdom, this book makes it clear that God is not silent on the topic of education.
Wayne consistently rightly applies Scripture throughout the book, and makes a clear case for Christian education. While both homeschool and Christian schools are discussed, the focus is on home education.
Whether you are a new parent, a new homeschool, or a veteran homeschool mom this book will bless and encourage you.

I especially love the story in Appendix I. Don't miss it because it isn't technically a chapter.
The first part of the book (the apologetic) was an easy read. The second part of the book that broke down how to include God in every subject was a bit harder to get through but the information was insightful.

"It is my conviction, based on everything I see in scripture, that even if the government school system taught that God created everything in six literal days, 6,000 years ago, that the Bible was the Word of God, and that Jesus was the only way to salvation, God would still oppose them. The ends do not justify the pragmatic means. The fundamental problem with government schools is not ultimately what they teach; it is that they exist."
If you, as a Christian parent, living through the wicked days we are in now, are somehow still unsure of what educational path your children should be sent on-- look no further. This book will spell it out plainly for you. If you already agree that public school is not the answer, this book will strengthen your resolve and once again impress upon you the immense importance of the responsibility you have before God in raising, training, teaching the souls He has entrusted to you--not the government, YOU.
Very well done.

I think it should go without saying that God indeed has an opinion about where are children spend their day, what they learn and what influences they are exposed to. I believe one of the biggest lies that Christian parents tell themselves is that one educational mode is as good as the next and it doesn’t matter, “ you do you”, this is a worldly mindset, not a biblical one.A person would have to read this book with their eyes closed to not see that parents are to be the primary instructors of their own children . The author has chapters on the different educational options and then how to address each individual subject from a biblical perspective. This a great resource, and a solid reminder to keep our children‘s educational focus God centered.
September 4, 2021
Parts of this book were encouraging and affirming for a home educating parent, but other parts were dogmatic and inflexible. The type of education he is describing is, of course, a sacrifice that more Christian families could likely make, but it is also a privileged position that not every family is logistically able to take.

I've been reading this book for months and months. I started it on audio, but eventually bought a used copy for myself to read as well. WHEW. This is an opinionated, documented, comprehensive work on the author's opinions regarding education. While I do not agree with them all, I absolutely enjoyed this book.
I highly encourage parents who are interested in the ideas and opinions regarding education from a Christian perspective to pick this one up. Will it step on your toes? Yes. Will you agree with everything? Probably not. (I don't even agree with the subtitle - I don't think God has "opinions" 😂) But! It will cause you to think and definitely consider aspects of educating our children that you most likely have not thought of before, unless you're a veteran Christian homeschooler with 25 years under your belt haha
The first part is "The Apologetic," in which Wayne explores the purpose of education, and the differences between government schools, Christian schools, and homeschooling. He also discusses Biblical worldview, which leads into Part Two, "The Core Subjects," where he meticulously applies modernist vs post modernist vs Christian worldview to every subject taught in any type of school. He closes with his opinions about taxation to support government schooling and what the Bible says about Christian education.
It is hefty! If not in page number, most definitely in thought. Sure, you could skim through it, but why would you? This is undoubtedly the most comprehensive book I've ever read about Christian education. Ever. I found it worthy of quality time and attention. The questions asked here are life changing - from experience, I asked them myself and wow has our life ever changed 😅 so pick this one up - who knows, it may set you on a completely different path or help you solidify your reasoning as to why you're on the path you chose to be on ❤️

As parents think through how they will educate their children this book will be helpful in orienting them to the theological view of “education”. God indeed has an opinion on this matter and the author does a good job of addressing it. Israel Wayne unravels the modern concept of education while stopping along the way to make points of distinction between secular humanism and the biblical concept of discipling. He sites primary sources as he unmasks the origins of secular education which began long ago fundamentally as the false religion of humanism.
The author discusses the divinely ordained function of human governments and their interactions with family, causes for charity, and the education of children. This will be eye opening for many.
He helps parents have a basic understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of our current culture which was helpful.
There are 2 appendixes. The first is an illustration depicting the concepts taught in the earlier parts of the book (this was enjoyable and helpful). The second appendix is a good summary of the things written in rapid fire succession along with scriptural references which was an enjoyable and effective ending.
Mr. Wayne believes in total hereditary depravity and makes brief implicit teachings that the silence of the scriptures is permissive; both of which I don’t subscribe to — Children are born innocent (Matt 19:14) and the silence of God in the scriptures forbids action (Heb 7:14;Rev 22:18-19). The reader should be aware of this.
All in all I recommend the book.

Wow. This book was excellent, but a tough read. I was a bit hesitant to pick it up because I knew it may include some answers I didn’t want to hear (my children are in public school), and that was a correct assumption. BUT I am glad I did it anyway because there are so many things in this book I truly needed to hear. In fact, at the beginning of the book he gives examples of things Christian parents will say to justify their choice of schooling for their kids and several were word for word things that have come out of my own mouth. This book has really highlighted how important it is to consider God’s view on educating our children rather than just what feels good or is convenient for us. He goes even further to really dive into the importance of God in subjects that have always seemed secular and he also points out that no education is neutral. All schools have a worldview. If it is important for to educate your children in a biblical worldview we need to be honest in evaluating if our children are receiving that or not. I think this book is a call to action regardless of what education preference your family lands on because ultimately education and discipleship doesn’t start and end during the school day. As Christian parents this should be an ongoing task throughout the day, throughout the week. It’s a constant commitment and it can’t be chalked up to Sunday school once a week. He gives alot of good tips and advice on where to start, the importance of apologetics, etc.

Education: Does God Have An Opinion by Israel Wayne, published by Master Books is divided up into two parts. The first, he calls "The Apologetic," in which he deals with establishing a truly Biblical philosophy of education. The second part, is what he calls "The Core Subjects," is all about applying a Biblical worldview consistently to all areas of education, from science to history, from mathematics to logic, from philosophy to language arts, and everything in between!
God has a lot to say about education in His Word. And by far, Education: Does God Have An Opinion is the best book I have read on the subject. Mr Wayne lays it out there Scripturally. His argument is sound and logical, standing on the firm foundation of God's Word. His approach to the core subjects will bring new life to your way of thinking. And his use of Scriptures makes the study exciting. This isn't Wayne's opinion he is writing about, it's God's.
The book tackles subjects such as sports, socialization, public schools, academics, and a host of other issues that parents often have questions or concerns about. This is a "must have" for every family library, as well as every church library, and if I had the money to make it happen, I'd buy them myself!

Wayne holds a less than common view of education but unapologetically goes for it! After laying out the biblical case for his position, he spends the rest of the book delving into each school subject from a scriptural angle; I think families would benefit by returning to these latter chapters every so often to reevaluate our own journeys approaching these topics with our children.
I appreciate his lived experience in homeschooling, well-read knowledge in related topics, and conversational tone. I find him more of a speaker than an author, however, and wonder if this material might be better marketed as a series of lectures.

What a convicting book. Even for someone who is already at home educating their children. Read this along with a friend considering homeschooling, and we've both been very emotional going through this.
I had the privilege of meeting Israel just after finishing this, and his origins make this book even more relevant. Anyone can educate from home, and for those who have children who can be difficult, let's be honest, difficult often, it's even more vital that they do.

What the author does highlight in this book is the influences and 20,000 hours of information our government exposes to our children, how that came about and the results that will become of it. On the flip side, the author interjects what is written in the Holy Bible about the importance of education, schooling and parental responsibilities.

Excellent read. Dogmatic at times, but is the most convincing book I've read for leaving off considering public education. Lots of Scripture to consider, but this is still Israel's opinion not God's. Read His Word, pray, and guide your kids as you seek their education and discipleship. There are no shortcuts...
December 10, 2021
There aren't enough stars to rate this book. I think that every Christian homeschooler should read this...in fact, I would recommend it to every Christian parent and young person who may become a parent one day.
I'll be sure to re-read it with a highlighter and annotation pen in hand :)

This book is dripping with judgment and superiority. It’s also using scripture to further an agenda instead of reading the context of the scripture. Trash. Also note to self, avoid publisher Master Books.

A bold look at what God, through His Word, has commanded parents to do with regard to their children’s education. I wish every Christian parent would be brave enough to read this book.

One of the best books on the market for reasons to homeschool your children. This is a wonderful resource for our home.

Powerful message and persuasive. You will be challenged if you read it.

Biblically faithful. Full of encouragement to press on.
One of the best books that explains why we choose to home school.
