God Schooling: How God Intended Children to Learn

Product Information

We know that we should learn about God. That is the best education we can pursue. God has given us revelation about Himself in His Creation (Romans 1:20), His Son (2 Peter 3:18), and His Word (2 Timothy 3:16–17). In 2 Timothy 2:15, the Bible tells us to become people "rightly handling the word of truth." This means to study and apply God's Word by knowing it and relying on that knowledge and the Holy Spirit to put it into action. As we are educated about the one, true God of the Bible, our love and devotion to Him grows, and our service and care for each other expands.

Proverbs 18:15 “The mind of the prudent acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.” Now, we do not unschool our children, nor did this book make me want to jump on the unschooling bandwagon. However, because I believe that as a mother I can receive personal revelation for what is best for my children, I firmly believe that God called this mother to unschool her children because that was what was best for them. And it's okay that it isn't what is best for us. Proverbs 1:7 “Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.” Condition: Very Good. Item in very good condition! Textbooks may not include supplemental items i.e. CDs, access codes etc.In my book, I examined whether intensely religious teens had different academic outcomes, focusing on three measures: secondary school GPA; likelihood of completing college; and college selectivity. Scholars like sociologist Christian Smith have theorized that increased religiosity deters young people from risky behaviors, connects them to more adults and provides them more leadership opportunities. However, I found that including survey measures for these aspects of teens’ lives did not fully explain why abiders were earning better GPAs. It is important at this point to distinguish between a white good and the tempting idea of a “racial good.” The problem with naming something a “racial good” is that race is not a general category of social difference; it is a specific category of social dominance and subordination. There can be racial things, but a racial good is by definition also a racial harm, since race is a system of domination. The difference depends on which “race” we are talking about. The racial paradigm, globally, is known and needs no abstraction—indeed, abstracting becomes its own sort of racial project by denying the very real power of whiteness as a global and local variable in human relations. Footnote 42 Likewise, limited attempts at a theory of “relational goods” obscures or ignores real-world racism and the allocation of relational harms. Footnote 43 This aspect of white things—that they have no equivalent for other groups—means that non-white people often have to navigate them, as sociologist Elijah Anderson explains, “as a condition of their existence.” Footnote 44 The takeaway from these findings is not meant to encourage people to become more religious or to promote religion in schools. Rather, they point to a particular set of mindsets and habits that help abiders succeed – and qualities that schools reward in their students. Religious landscape While I might not agree with the concept of 100% natural learning and bypassing those enticing curricula that look so promising, I did find this book to be a refreshing reminder of several of the reasons why we chose to homeschool our children. It ultimately comes down to the freedom for our children to have the time to pursue their God-given interests, to develop a passion for learning, and to grow in their relationship with us and with Jesus.

The Bible has a positive view of education. In fact, even Jesus learned. Luke 2:52 says, "And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man." Then working with survey measurement expert Ben Domingue and sociologist Kathleen Mullan Harris, I used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health to see how more and less religious children from the same families performed. According to our analysis, more intensely religious teens earned higher GPAs in high school, on average, even compared with their own siblings. But why? Whether a move to Essex is on the cards for your family or you've already put down roots in the area, our new guide to the county's best schools is essential reading Because whiteness is a category of social dominance (and not just a form of difference), a white “good” would be something that is useful to white people as the dominant racialized group in relation to other subordinated racialized groups. White goods are, by definition, non-white harms. That white goods are designed to benefit white people does not mean, of course, that they cannot be useful to non-whites. Obviously they can. But because a white good must advantage white people more than other people by definition, a white good will be less useful to non-whites than to whites. White goods are relative as well as absolute. In fact, when non-white people participate in a white good, their very participation reinforces an underlying system that favors white people. Forgotten the title or the author of a book?

Topics on School

Most modes of Greek philosophy ask the questions “Must there be an initial cause of all things? What is causing all things that are in existence? How can we know for sure?” And Paul repeatedly answers each of these questions when presenting the Gospel. Paul is an astute scholar, one who is extremely knowledgeable about his beliefs, his culture, and with the beliefs of other people in his culture. Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. This book is wonderful regardless of it your new to homeschooling or not. It really feels like your listening to a dear friend tell you all she's learned and what's worked for her family and why. It could be a great deal of encouragement for someone struggling or wonderful wisdom for parents with children at any age. I really enjoyed reading about high school
