What Jeannie Fulbright, Apologia's Elementary Science Series says: "A Child's Geography is exactly what the homeschooling world has been needing to teach geography, using a living book approach that draws in children... I highly recommend this for geography."

"A Child's Geography really IS the best geography guidebook I've seen for the K-6th grade set.  (And I've seen a lot over 10 years of homeschooling!)" 
~Holly Johnson, homeschooling mother of 7

"I am always looking for truly excellent, Christ-centered materials.  I appreciate the niche you are filling as I have had a hard time finding a Christian, living-book, geography "text" to use!"
~Carrie Austin www.heartofdakota.com  ~A Cathy Duffy Top 100 Pick

"This is exactly what I have been looking for.  I have tried [two other geography curriculums] but honestly, neither works well with our living book studies.  I find them hard to navigate and the children find them dry.  I think A Child's Geography is wonderful ."
~Cindy McCarthy,  homeschooling mother of 9

Reorienting: The Great Commission as our Mission

“Circle… take her measure… gaze long… climb …
Then you can tell the next generation,
detail by detail, the story of God.”

~Ps. 48:12

It's a big world out there.

 

And it is easy to get lost.

Can we help you find your way back to the Great Commission?

Christ calls for His disciples to go into all the world.

Let’s.

 

Let’s go into all the world.

Let’s explore it, meet people, fall in love with them,

and immerse them in His love.

Let’s carry His hope and His healing to all nations.

As homeschoolers, we have stayed home too long.

We’ve let the Great Commission become our homeschooling omission.

But we're getting our bearings again, finding our compass. And heading out!

It is easy to get lost, to forget where we are headed, to forget what we are looking for as we homeschool. Let’s reorient. Let’s see if we are all headed in the same direction…
 
  • Do you want to give them the knowledge of geographical terms and explain the topography of the planet? (yes)
  • Do you want to give them a glimpse of the people groups that make up the earth and help them to understand how the geography of the planet affects the way people live? (yes)
  • Do you hope for that.... and more... to go deeper and give your children a passion for the world’s peoples; to celebrate our creative, Creator God who fashioned a diverse world of people – all in His own image? (YES!)
  • Do you hope to ignite a love for the world’s people that will have eternal consequences? (YES!!)

All this is our passion. And yours too? 

When our children love the world, they will be impassioned to change it.

Come.  Let's travel.

They’ll catch the passion.

And light the world with His love wherever their path.
