Educating the Whole Hearted Child

by Hal | November 15th, 2011

God did not forget to include “school” in his biblical design for raising children—:home education is a natural expression of all that God intended for parents and their children. Clay and Sally Clarkson’s Educating the WholeHearted Child is about rediscovering God’s original design for the family. What you’ll find in this book is a homeschooling model that makes sense. It’s an approach that is based on sound biblical principles of nurture, discipleship, instruction, and learning. Newly revised and significantly expanded, Educating the WholeHearted Child is about much more than homeschooling; it is about life. Effective Christian homeschooling must begin with the sure foundation of a Christian home, and the Clarksons’ uncomplicated, common-sense approach to life and learning will provide you with the tools you need to experience God’s abundant blessings for your family.

    I’ve read almost all their books.  The original Whole Hearted Child was one of the first–and most helpful–homeschooling books I ever read.  I’ve read every one of Sally’s books, several of them more than once.  They are all excellent.  I even had the joy of hearing her speak once!

  • LynneBellaire

    Great, great give away.

  • Jen

    yes!  their earlier edition of the Whole-Hearted Child.
