Since 1994, Educating the WholeHearted Child,? by Clay and Sally Clarkson, has found its way into the homes and lives of tens of thousands of Christian homeschooling families. It was updated once in 1996, but it has at long last found new life in this extensively revised and expanded 2011 Third Edition. Those fifteen years of finishing our homeschooling journey are now reflected in the 50% additional pages, extensively revised content, new organization, new book lists, and new forms. It is not just a renewed book; it is a new book. The earlier versions were good for their times, but this new version is the book I wanted write in 1996, but couldn?t because I hadn?t lived it yet. In some ways the book had to write me, so I could write this book.

For many Christian parents, the homeschooling journey leads them along a winding path with a vague destination. If they have a map at all, it may not include the path they?re on, or it is too confusing to follow. Other people on the path send them down side trails which seem to go nowhere. Finally, they just trudge forward, hoping that if they just keep moving ahead they?ll find the end of the path. For other Christian parents, though, the homeschooling journey is a wonderful adventure down a clearly marked trail. They have a trustworthy map, so they?re not dependent on the advice of whatever other traveler comes along. They walk confidently and surely down the path with the destination always in view.
Our heart?s desire in Educating the WholeHearted Child is to give Christian parents who desire to homeschool a detailed and trustworthy map that will enable them to confidently and joyfully follow the path of biblical home education from beginning to end.
The WholeHearted Learning model of Christian home education presented in this book is a comprehensive, uncomplicated, commonsense, biblical approach to homeschooling that integrates all required areas of study for children aged 4-14. It shows you how to use real books, real life, and real relationships to liberate learning in your home from the tyranny of textbooks, the grip of curriculum, and the rigid rule of school.
Understand, though, that this book is not a curriculum. We do not tell you what to do every step of the way since you and your family situation are unique. Rather, this book is about a way of thinking about your home that will guide you onto and along the right path, and give you all the tools and help you need to walk it confidently with your children.
You?ll find 384 help-filled pages packed with useful information, insights and encouragement:
- Ideas: Hundreds of practical ideas, teaching methods, lifestyle suggestions, and product recommendations
