Ten Peas in a Pod

Follow this link to download a FREE copy of a wonderful book for the whole family called "Ten Peas in a Pod" by Arnold Pent III. Behemoth.com is offering this free only for the month of March, so don't miss this great opportunity. I bought the book in print several years ago, and we read it aloud as a family. It is the true story of a family of 10 who traveled the country, home schooling before it was cool, serving the Lord and sharing the gospel everywhere they went. What stands out most in this family is their amazing commitment to Bible memorization. This is what inspired me to give my children the gift of memorizing Scripture, not just a random verse here and there, but in entire portions as the Lord intended for it to be read. The audio version includes recordings of the family singing and quoting Scripture. It sends chills down your spine to hear that much scripture quoted by heart in unison.

You can go to Behemoth.com and create a free account, then download this to your computer. You can burn it to disc, or drag and drop it into your iTunes for your iPod, or of course just listen to it directly from your computer. This will be the last week to get it for free!!

Why do I homeschool?

I love the company and fellowship it allows
I've learned more since I graduated than I ever learned in school. If I can just pass on a love of learning and a good work ethic, they'll be fit for whatever the Lord has in store for them
At 7 hours per day (conservative estimate), for 180 days per year, that's 1,260 hours per year, times 13 years, equals 16,380 hours of their childhood that would be spent under government supervision. The Bible says, "Children obey your parents [NOT UNCLE SAM] in the Lord." God gave them to me, not the U.S. government. How can I expect them to embrace my ideals and my faith, when I let someone else hold a position of respect and authority over them for 16,380 hours of their childhood?
"Mama, who is Mar-tin Lu-ther King, J R?"
I can never forget how my own faith was shaken by teachers whom I greatly respected
Age segregation is something foreign. Playmates come in all ages and sizes, boys or girls, and some of my children's best friends are adults.
It is so much fun!
My children pity the fools and scoffers who believe evolution
We study real history, not the revised politically correct version
FIELD TRIPS!
My kids don't even know what a "nerd" is, and believe me, they would be labeled "nerds" in public school. Nor does either of them know a curse word, and they think a dirty joke has something to do with passing gas.
I don't have to wonder if some pervert is having his/her way with my babies while I'm not there to protect them
I can control my children's environment, keeping their hearts and minds pure for the work of the Lord
NOTE TO OTHER HOMESCHOOL PARENTS: All of the above reasons are completely NULL and VOID if you give your child a laptop or computer and hours of private, unsupervised access to the internet. He or she would be better off in public school.
