Robin,
I love the Heart of Wisdom teaching approach and look forward to using it with my children as they reach “school age”. Thanks for providing the homeschool audio above – your perspective on Christian homeschooling is invaluable.
Blessings,
Mrs. H
I love getting advice. The Bible says for the older women to teach the younger women. I would love to hear what you have to say! Thanks for doing what you do and keep up the good work!
In Christ,
Elizabeth
Thank you so much for your words…they speak to my heart. I am looking forward to redoing our family’s educational (and lifestyle) focus using the HOW approach. The Lord is worthy of being our all in all! Kate in GA
Thanks for the great words – and for letting me know you are on twitter. I started following you today and I can already see that your words of faith and inspiration are going to be just what I needed.
I stumbled across your book “What a Child Needs to Know When” just when I was considering giving up on homeschooling. It was the perfect words are the perfect time. You have the ability to explain what most of us know in our hearts and that makes following our hearts much easier.
Wonderful words. What a blessing to everyone. I wholeheartedly agree in every way with every word. Your message confirms everything the Lord has led our family into for well over a decade, with many striking parallels to your own.
Oh, how I need to learn to rest in Him, EVERY moment of EVERY day, by His Spirit. Thanks so much for your gentle but firm and fortifying message, Robin. Shalom.
Your writings have been an important part of my growth as a follower of Christ (which of course impacts homeschooling). Thank you for your oppenness and gentle spirit.
Great audio! I think I have heard it, but I will be listening to it again!
I will blog about it and Tweet about it then too. I will let you know as described. I am also going to email some of my friends, because some of them are not on the internet, blogging, etc., and I want them to know! Great giveaway! I want my girls to have this book!
Thank you for this. You are a sweetie!
Fabulous. Can’t wait to listen to the audio. Love your stuff!

Robin,
Lovely audio! Great advice regardless of age, gender or the family size.
Robin, what would say to a homeschool mom who is feeling like a failure…because she really hasn’t been doing anything with her children other than daily life, xbox, games and that’s about it? This lady I know, and has asked me for help, is really tired from years of hsing, but has also gone on to develop her own interests that she pursues (which aren’t bad- just unbalanced in time required), and has children that really seem like they’re not interested in anything.
I’ve suggested prayer and just doing Bible study with them, but even that doesn’t seem to happen for her. She listened to your previous audio on fear and failure and has said she feels like a failure bcz she is one, truly. She would put the children in school, for their sake, except they are so academically ‘behind’ that it wouldn’t be beneficial for them.
Any ideas? (Maybe email is more appropriate for this??)
I’ll be sure to continue to point her toward the Bible and your site.
Regards,
Susan
What a great giveaway! I haven’t read this book but would really like to read it. Thanks for offering it as a giveaway!

I would love to read this book! Thanks for the great giveaway. : )
Thank you so much Robin! We have a copy, but I have several friends in mind who I would like to give a copy to. You and your ministry have been such a blessing to my family over the past 8 months since I read “Heart Of Wisdom.” I have prayed for you often and again, so appreciate your heart and passion to serve Jesus!
Thank you so much for your encouraging words, they were like a drink of cold water to my spirit!
Thank You for entering me, it looks like a great book.
Will be homeschooling beginning next year, would love to own this resource. Thanks!
I came across your site on another homeschoolers blog. Fear…something I struggle with daily. I am not even homeschooling yet, as I will begin doing preschool homeschool with my little boy in the fall, but I already have many fears regarding it.
My husband and I knew from the beginning that we would most likely not send our children to preschool and that I would teach them from home at this age level. However, after observing children and teachers in the public school setting as a teacher myself, my husband and I have begun praying about whether or not to homeschool indefinitely. But then the fear sets in.
Fear…what will other people say about our decision, what will our family think about our decision, will our children miss out on social opportunities and friendships with their peers, will we be able to stay focused on the task at hand and stay organized? These fears are real and make me second guess our decision. However, we continue to bathe this decision of whether to homeschool indefinitely or not in prayer, prayin that the Lord will open or close doors when and where needed.
I am so blessed to be a mother and thankful that the Lord has entrusted my son, and soon my unborn daughter into our care.
Thanks for your encouraging words regarding fear.

Thank you so much for your encouragement. I will be starting homeschooling with my high schooler next week. I also have an infant that will be homeschooled from “day one”. I can’t wait to read your book. Blessings!
I so needed to hear your words of encouragement today. I agree with everything you have said and am so happy that you have chosen to share with others! Thanks!
I can’t wait to read your books!
Have a blessed week!

This sounds like the book to have when it comes to homeschooling around a Bible based curriculum. I’ve heard such great things about this book, and unfortunately I do not have it. I am a new homeschooler, with a Pre-K child. I would love to have this and be able to use it from now through high school! Thanks for this great giveaway!

All Homeschool Moms need to hear this message. It’s touched my heart & blessed my soul! http://budurl.com/blogcontest
Oh girl, I ask myself these questions every single day! You were speaking straight to me. “He flows out of us when we abide in Him!” This is exactly what I needed to hear. I know I know this but I not only want to know it but live it. I am so grateful for the life God has given me yet I’m not showing gratitude the way I’ve been living. I know God is not pleased when I’m constantly overwhelmed and frustrated. This is not His Will for me and there is nothing more I desire in this world than to please God Almighty.
Robin, I want nothing more than to win this book but even if I don’t you were used by God this very day to speak straight to my heart. I have won something far more valuable. You have rekindled His fire within me and a desire to be filled with His living water. You said “If we are not producing the fruits of the spirit that we are quenching the Holy Spirit” I about lost it. This is a very hard pill to swallow and very hard to admit but I’ve let outside circumstances and the constant disapproval of others change my heart and create doubt & fear. I must stop and hear God calling me back to the simple truth. In & through Him I can do all things! Thank you so much for such an amazing message & giveaway.
God Bless,
Karen @ Lil Momma’s Haven
I heard about this over at the Homeschool Lounge! I’m off to listen to your download now… I could use some motivation!
The new header looks great. Did you create it yourself? I think the background (sides) need to be lightened now!
Oh, I think I will like this book. Have a nice day.
I’d love to win your book! I’ve been meaning to read it for awhile, but my budget has not allowed me to purchase it yet. I’ve enjoyed your postings on THL.
Blessings,
Shannon C
