The criteria we used to judge inclusion are: Does the book have literary value? Does the book re-emphasize a Biblical worldview or the Judeo-Christian heritage in some way? Does the book teach, through whatever means, what is moral or just or true? Does the book encourage to love and good works? Does the book exemplify warmth, tenderness, courage, humor, and other values and characteristics that we desire our children to be exposed to? Does the book nourish the intellect and fire the imagination? Does the book cross age barriers to be enjoyed by all?
The Bible, the best of the good books and the greatest of the great books, is the backbone of this good books / great books list. The books listed are offered in addition to the Bible, but certainly never in replacement of it.
Dear Turkana,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Austin Pruitt and I was homeschooled for 11 years. I’m currently
working on a book about the power of homeschooling called “The Homeschool
Revolution”. I live in Dallas, TX and the book will be co-authored by me
and Dr. Nancy Josephson Phd, a homeschool pioneer in New York.
The book will be featuring interviews with the most highly respected
leaders and voices in the homeschool community. Obviously, we would love to
feature your thoughts on homeschooling in the book!
Would you be interested in scheduling a brief 15 minute interview over the
phone or through Skype?
Email me at: TheHomeschoolRevolution@gmail.com
Also, feel free to call my cell at (214) 478 3639
Most sincerely,
Austin Pruitt
