A Lifestyle Education through Discipleship

Would you agree that you want your children to have knowledge, to know

 things--including things like how to read, write, and compute?  Would you

 agree that you want your children to be wise, to make proper decisions 

and act on them appropriately in life?

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of

 the holy is understanding."  And the fear of the Lord is the beginning of

 knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.  Proverbs 9:10 and

 1:7  Wisdom is the most important thing we are to seek.  Wisdom is the

 principle thing.  Therefore get wisdom and with all your getting get 

understanding.

If you agree to the words above so eloquently written by my friend Lisa

 over at Me And My House then you will love her newest resource

 creatively called Freedom and Simplicity on R Road to Biblical Wisdom. 

 You can read more about it HERE on her website.  She goes on to say 

"true learning is a process of gaining wisdom, understanding and knowledge.

  This process of learning is really several processes, both internal and

 external, that work together as we receive new ideas and information, reflect 

upon them, reason through them Biblically, integrate them into our lives 

and thought processes, and then produce our own individual output based

 upon them.  Here is a glimpse of the table of contents and some of the 

wonderful and creative methods she uses in her homeschool as she teaches

her family of ten children.  As you will see, she has covered many topics and

 given great ideas on how to implement them.

I have been homeschooling now for 23 years and Lisa's work was an eye

 opener for me.  I can imagine what great help it would be for someone

 just beginning the journey of educating their families at home.  Thanks Lisa.  

Lisa has written many such guides leaning on her many years of raising,

 feeding, and homeschooling her large family.  To view her resources that
