Title Tuesday: A Biblical Home Edcuation

Welcome to  Title Tuesday, my favorite day of the week! This day is dedicated to book suggestions, news, cartoons, and reviews. For 2020 I decided to structure my book reviews by breaking each month into topics. You can find my topics list here. This month we are covering homeschooling. So lets jump in!

Today I am going to share with you about the book that started my homechooling journey.

We decided back in September of 2015 to homeschool.

We were stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina and we only had one child who wasn't even a year old yet. It was about this time that we found out that baby 2 would be joining us in April of 2016.

There were a lot of military families around us with children. We got a chance to see how public, private and homeschooling worked for people in various stages of life.

I was already leaning heavily towards homeschooling when a friend at PWOC gave me a copy of A Biblical Home Education: Building Your Homeschool on the Foundation of God's Word by Dr. Ruth Beechick. 

Dr. Beechick's idea of incorporating the Bible in to every subject really got me. 

In the book Beechick discusses how separated modern schooling is from the Bible and why we should care about it. She states that in order to truly fear the Lord we first have to know him. 

When I read that it was like a light bulb went off in my mind! 

I began to think of homeschooling not as an alternative to public schooling, meaning that they are basically equal. Instead Beechick's book made me realize that by choosing to homeschool I could create an incredible learning environment tailored to each child's needs, struggles, and strength. 

This book taught me that the goal of homeschooling isn't to recreate a public school at home but rather to fill in all things your family needs and remove the things that it doesn't. 

Beechick showed me that homeschooling biblically means praying and following God's leading for your children rather than a school districts general plan. 

Long story short, it took me over a year to read A Biblical Home Education because I was taking such incredibly detailed notes in the margins and then when space ran out there in a separate journal. I have since re-read this book four times.

Obviously I give this book an uproarious 5 star rating. If I had higher than a 5 star I would give it that. In fact I may make up a higher rating just for this books and the few others than come close to it. If you are a Christian homeschooler, I cannot recommend this book highly enough!
