This is a story about the clash of two worlds–the intense struggle that occurs both within and without. Will the poor widow give her consent to turn her child over to the care of another? Can a hardened woman, who has everything this world has to offer, find truth through the innocence of a child? In this poignant story, Ella Rosa tenderly conveys a life-giving message for those who are seeking–that it is never too late to find God.

Back 2 the Books

Comments Off on Back 2 the Books

OK, I really hope you didn’t take a vacation from books, but in this sense I mean the bookwork type (“table time”) lessons that you do with your children. Although we “school” (or more precisely “learn”) year round, many follow the public school calendar in their homes, or at least take the summer months off and restart in the fall. (Although I notice that the ps keeps starting earlier and earlier every year. The summer “off” used to mean Memorial Day through Labor Day. And I truly believe those kids need let out of their “prison” walls for those 3 months. — Their words.) But enough rabbit trails–maybe. Point is many of you are heading back to the books (not back to school.) And —

It’s time for our Back 2 the Books Freedom & Simplicity™ Sale!

This is our BIGGEST BLOWOUT Sale of the Year! And–
We have several options in this Super Sale ~ Just for YOU!
Want to go to the Order Page now? 

Are you new to teaching every subject by Biblical principles and in family-friendly Freedom & Simplicity™, otherwise called Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™? Check out our Getting Started Bonus Combo below.

Do you already have the Foundational Freedom & Simplicity™ resources, and need some help going Beyond the Basics? Check out Beyond the Basics Bundle below.

Are you brand New to Home Education, or L.E.D. and need to get started NOW? Check out our newest resource, Quick Start to Freedom & Simplicity™ with Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ . This is so new it’s not even off the press yet. (But we’ll send you a preliminary copy now, and a final copy when the editing is fully completed.)

Many of you have already chosen what you plan to do this year, but some of you still aren’t quite sure. You know you need to change things up a bit. You need to foster a love for learning. You need to provide a truly Biblical, Christian education–not just tack Bible verses onto some subjects, or count disciples instead of apples.

You’re looking for Freedom & Simplicity™.

You’re looking for real family life, not school at home.

You’re looking for education that looks at all areas of life and learning through the lens of Scripture.

The Getting Started Combo is for YOU!

This Combo includes our key resources for understanding and starting Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™.

The first step to Biblical home education is for the parents to renew their minds to think Biblically about education and how that can look in the home. Freedom & Simplicity™ of Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ ~ The Seminar will walk you through this, giving you the Big Picture from the Philosophy (the Why?), to Principles (the What?), to Practical Application (the How?).

The next step is to get a good understanding of the learning methods, the nitty-gritty on how to study this way. Freedom & Simplicity™ on R Road to Biblical Wisdom lays this out for you. It shows you how to study any topic in any subject by Biblical principles. These are simple, natural, family-friendly methods that use Biblical foundations and reasoning for excellence in learning.

To take it one step further, we include in the combo Freedom & Simplicity™ in HisStory, which will walk you through applying L.E.D. to a primary subject of study.

As a BONUS to our Getting Started Combo, I’m including the Foundational Journaling Forms you’ll want to get started. Redeeming the Time Journal ~ Favorite Forms includes: Spiritual Journey, for journaling your daily Bible reading, P.R.A.Y., a daily prayer journal, and Day-by-Day Book of Remembrance Journal, for journaling daily life and learning. 12 different designs to choose from, and other variations make this a very versatile set of forms you’ll use everyday.

This great Combo is an $80 value.

Quick Start to Freedom & Simplicity™ through Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ is our newest and most helpful guide to those that want to start home educating through a Biblical perspective–yesterday! This guide contains a very succinct introduction to each of the subjects and our resource recommendations for your first year. Of course, you still need to go through the Seminar and internalize R Road (for renewing your mind and learning how to teach and learn) but this guide will help you get your books ordered and gathered so you can get started pronto.

Comments Off on Notebooking Publisher

As I told you last night, I have more details for even more excitement to share with you today. Yesterday I announced that we are now affiliate partners with Notebooking Pages, to provide you more great pre-designed Notebooking Pages for your Book of Remembrance Journals.

Today I’d like to invite you to the Launch Party of Notebooking Pages newest resource, that I’m SO excited about.

The Notebooking Publisher™ is a new web app, available to Notebooking Pages Treasury Members, that will allow you to customize, create, and complete your Notebooking Pages online, before printing out. You can use one of their templates, or customize one of their templates, or even start from scratch.

The Notebooking Publisher™ will be unveiled tonight, Tues. May 22, 2012, at 7 p.m. Central (8 Eastern, 5 Pacific) at The Notebooking Publisher™ Launch Party. Not only will you get more details about this new web app, but there will also be plenty of  prizes and freebies from your favorite home ed suppliers, including Me & My House ministries.

Here’s a bit more about The Notebooking Publisher™. Click here to learn more. Then join us at the Party tonight!

Why would we create The Notebooking Publisher™?

Top Three Reasons:
#1 So older kids can TYPE their narrations, reports, and other written work.
#2 So kids can be part of the design & layout process.
#3 So there would be no limit to the artwork available — now you can add your own images instead of waiting for us to have a particular topic available.

OK, maybe just one more because it’s a biggie…
#4 There’s a learning curve involved in using the various desktop software packages out there, not to mention a hefty cost. The Notebooking Publisher™ is SUPER simple to use. AND, it will come preloaded with 100s of our templates.

See you at the Party!
