Faith Family Resources Learn at Home for Great Shalom
Faith filled resources for parents and educators

I have lately seen how far off my college students are from knowing basic facts of American history, basic concepts of philosophy, or even basic tenets of the Christian faith. Yet they think they know more than most older people. One young lady who couldn't get to and stay in her class last week, figured that I wouldn't know who Dagon was, but misidentified the basic tenets of Christianity, which she knew a priori were worthless. I am no longer surprised at the stable statistic that half of my incoming freshmen do not know who or what the Union was during the Civil War. Unfortunately, I also discovered I was grossly ignorant about history last week. I was taught that Ferdinand and Isabella financed Christopher Columbus' voyage in 1492. In actuality three conversos (converted Jews) financed it. Maybe they knew what was coming in 1493. What happened in 1493? The Spanish Inquistion started. Oh my, it is back to the books for me.

Let's not be satisfied with what little we were taught in public school. For sure, let's not be satisfied with how little we have studied. Let's make good students of ourselves. Let's really study the Word. Let's also study all kinds of truth.

Have fun! -- Sister Sharon

Lord, thank you for all You are. Thank you that you love us so much. Thank you for all those who have loved us, shown mercy to us, and shown us truth. Lead us and teach us more. Lord, we want more of You. Let us be like you, loving and truthful. Thank you. Amen.

2) FAITH FAMILY LEARNING REPORT ON READING: With Special Attention to English Spelling and Pronunciation Patterns. Wow! I wish I had had this resource when my daughter was learning to read. This will give a good orientation to families with young readers. It will likely be all most readers ever need. Certainly it is a good supplement to most current public school curriculums that are haphazard. If your student proves to need a completely articulated rule set, AVKO is your resource. My report is a good beginning for anyone and sufficient for most, even many with dyslexia.

Each of these is $5.00 and available in eformat or hardcopy. Please enclose $1.00 s&h and $0.41 sales tax in Texas.
