Homeschool Resources
Homeschool resources for the family who is eager to teach their children in a Christian context at home.
So you’re homeschooling the children! You won’t find a complete homeschool curriculum here, as it is not our intent. But Grace and Truth Books makes available many valuable Christian books for the family which can equip committed parents for the task at hand of raising up children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Few assets are as valuable to homeschooling as a strong family library. That’s where we come in. These books are carefully chosen and vetted by the experience of many committed homeschooling families who have gone before you, ones we have confidence in.

Homeschool Bravely (Jamie Erickson)
$12.49Quiet the voices of “not good enough” and step courageously into guilt-free homeschooling
Many homeschool parents have a long-term relationship with self-doubt. “Did I make the right decision?” “Could someone else do this better?” “Am I robbing my kids of something by not sending them to ‘regular school’?”
What if there’s a better way?
Not a 3-step technique or a shiny, new curriculum, but a change in perspective that transforms the way you plan, teach, and homeschool?
Homeschool Bravely teaches you to see homeschooling as a calling, helps you overthrow the tyranny of impossible expectations, and guides you through the common bumps in the road, including how to:
- juggle school and parenting with toddlers at home
- teach a struggling learner
- plan with the end in mind
- accept your own limitations without feeling guilty
- stay the course even in the face of criticism
Reclaim your hope, renew your purpose, and transform your homeschool. Because the truth is: God will use every part of your homeschool, even your fears, faults, and failures, to weave good plans for your kids.

Parent Differently (Kathy Koch, PhD)
$12.95This title will be released 11/7/2023- Preorder now!
Behavior modification does not guarantee good character qualities. Character influences decisions. It’s evidenced in our speech, actions, and attitudes. It’s about who we are and what we do. The world competes for the hearts of our kids—and we see its negative impact in their pride, laziness, and entitlement. As Christians, however, we want to see the character of Jesus Christ in our children. Dads and moms, grandparents, and teachers all want to see their children grow in humility, gratitude, and respect—for others and themselves. We want our kids to be brave, compassionate, and joyful. We don’t want our kids to flounder through life. We want them to flourish and live into their God-given designs and callings.

We also find that God provides both, using our decision to homeschool to draw us closer to Himself.
To continue with love and perseverance, we need confidence not in our work but in God’s. These thirty readings will lift up your eyes and spirit so you can focus on what truly matters while doing the daily work of educating your kids.

Woven into this history are the stories of several key English authors, whose prose and poetry have influenced the development of English.
