If you a have few moments for a WeE bit of concise boldness.....


Recently, I was made aware of the WeE-book collection, new from TOS. Written from an unabashedly Christian perspective, these wee bites of straight talk are just right for the homeschooling parents who already have too much on their plate but still need the encouragement of a biblically-based publication. Topics range from teaching tips and instructional helps, to encouraging devotionals and scripture meditations, to wakeup calls regarding the spiritual wellbeing of our children and families in today's society. And the price of $1.95 or less wasn't a bad move, either! The authors are not afraid to speak up against the tide of secularism in our culture and educational systems, calling readers to consider the opportunities and mission within home education and to dig deeper in our studies to find what is true, what honors God and is in alignment with His Word. For those considering homeschooling, the WeE-books are a collection of glimpses into what is a totally "out of the box" approach to education for many and a valuable resource in knowing how to move forward. While those of us in the trenches already, so to speak, can benefit and be refueled to teach more effectively and proceed with fresh wind in our sails and a renewed sense of purpose and commitment. As I read Creation vs. Evolution: Interpreting the Evidence, one of the WeE-books, I was impressed with the knowledge of the authors, and even more so with their commitment to dig deeper and the courage to speak the truth in a field in which God has been resigned by many to myth. This series is unashamedly Christian in nature, and while some may find that a detractor, I stand up and say Amen! The WeE-books can be purchased and downloaded through the TOS store site at http://www.theoldschoolhousestore.com/ .
