The Convivial Homeschool (Mystie Winckler)
Thirty daily readings to build up your confidence and cheerfulness as you homeschool.
Homeschool days can be long and hard. It’s easy to lose sight of what’s actually happening in the midst of the day to day. Even when we lose our vision, God does not lose His. While we attempt to teach and disciple our children, we find that it is ourselves needing the instruction and discipleship. 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.

Don’t Scare the Children! Homeschooling and the Fear of the Lord (Dennis Gundersen)
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”, the Proverbs tell us. And since our children start at the beginning, and we parents are with them from that beginning, it’s all too clear — they must learn the fear of the Lord from us. But most Christian parents have little idea how to impart this perspective on life to their children.
We want to raise children who trust and love God, and certainly not children who withdraw from Him in terror! So what exactly is this fear of the Lord? Dennis Gundersen shows how parents can make this a reality in life and raise children who learn to fear God – so they won’t be afraid of anything else!
