I’m buying my own copy so the library can keep their copy for others to read! It’s one of the best books for homeschoolers on the market!
To Andreaadam – most Christian homeschoolers don’t separate those two aspects of their life – we usually make Christ the center of our homes and the learning that takes place therein.
To Sandship – everything I’ve ever read on the subject shows that the majority of homeschoolers are Christian so you can assume that most homeschooling books such as this are from a Christian viewpoint.

While the author gives some valid ideas of how to balance homeschooling and other life commitments, she does so entirely in the context of Fundamental Christianity. DON’T read this book if you don’t care to hear about how you should “submit to your husband’s authority” or “make your home a haven for your husband” or be reminded to “pick up the toys and books before your husband comes home”. While reading, I momentarily forgot the current year is NOT 1950. The Fundamentalist Christian overtones distracted greatly from several effective strategies she outlined.

As I am often a harried homeschooler, the title of this book caught my eye. There was nothing on either cover that suggested it was written from a Christian point of view. I absolutely don’t think there is anything wrong with being a Christian, but we all weave that into our daily lives (and homeschooling) in differing amounts. This writer is high up on the weaving scale! I don’t mind some references to prayer and God, but find it distracting to have it on every page. I just want to get down to the nitty gritty of “Balancing Your Child’s Education With the Rest of Your Life”. A non-Christian person will definitely not like this book.
