A rare, faith-filled historic biography of America’s first President, George Washington.

Pull back the dark shrouds of secular revisionist history, and meet the humble believer, godly leader, and devoted son who became a fledgling country’s source of strength and inspiration. Constantly seeking to serve others and place God first in his life and in the struggle for American freedom, George Washington was a revered and reverent man.

In this special edition of a vintage 1842 original, readers will go beyond today’s simple footnotes of this great leader, to discover the man behind the title of “Father of Our Country.” From letters and personal accounts, a fuller and more accurate picture emerges of a man who lived by, and was led by, a deep and abiding faith.

A rare, faith-filled historic biography of America’s first President, George Washington.

Pocketful of Pinecones

admin — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 04:27:48 +0000

Karen Andreola, renowned interpreter of the Charlotte Mason method of education, has written a unique sort of book in the homeschool world. Pocketful of Pinecones is a teacher’s guide to nature study cleverly disguised as a heartwarming story written in the form of a mother’s diary.

Yet Pocketful of Pinecones is a story about Carol. Carol is on her feet a lot – industriously caring for her family. In her diary Carol pours out her secret worries, hopes, joys, and disappointments. She also writes of the naturewalks she enjoys with her children. Her goal is to safeguard their sense of wonder. Together they observe God’s marvelous creation and the children record their finds in their Nature Notebooks. Carol reads Home Education by Miss Charlotte Mason and attempts to put the advice into practice. Designed to be a “pick-me-up,” each chapter is short enough to minister to a mother who has only snatches of time in which to nourish her soul.

Personal review by Sue Pruett:

This was the first ‘how to’ book I read on educating my children the “Charlotte Mason way.” I knew a bit about the method, but this put the application in plain language that was so easy for me to follow. I had many “Aha!” moments as I read the book and implemented the method as Karen shared it. It was amazing to see my own children’s lives bear fruit because of using Miss Mason’s method! After nine years of using this method, I can say enthusiastically – “It works!” Not only that, but Karen shows you how to live the life of a well balanced home educating family. I gleaned so much insight into how to create an atmosphere of gentle learning in our home. We have all reaped many benefits because of this book. I now have two copies – one to loan out, and one to keep for my own! If you are considering trying out Miss Mason’s methods, this is a great place to start!
