Not only do I totally agree but am anxiously awaiting my order of the Worldviews Weekend Leaders Kit! I can't wait to get a group going thru it! I know I need it! I love the requests from other fellow homeschooling moms for your recommended reading list for boys, age appropriate of course! I too would like to see your "worksheet for each chapter" your son reads to earn computer time. This might help with reading comprehension and be an easy way for me to check to be sure they are reading the chapters and not just skimming thru the material to get a reward. I, like most moms, don't have the time to read all the books my kids read ahead of time and often trust folks like you and others with like minded values to recommend titles. I agree, not all that is sold at Christian Bookstores is "good" or even from a Biblical Worldview!
Please Brannon, DO SHARE!!!

Excellent article! I, too, would very much like to see a list like you have described, Brannon. It could be a working list, but I would love to see something like that on your site.

Anything we can do to bring Christian empasis to our studies for our children is going to be a "good" thing. As a matter of fact, training in the Bible should come right alongside learning to read.
The only problem is that sometimes we in looking for manufactured Christian programs, and curricula, and other training (like "Train up a Child," by the Pearls), will short change the interaction of Christ himself and His will in these matters for not only our children, but us as well. Christ has different things for all us individually.
But yes, we do need to be tuned in to Scripture, and the morality it generates. It would be nice if all could say they were able to homeschool their children with Christian principles. But we know better, ergo, your Worldview works well. Thank you for caring and cautioning.

Your article was awesone. I am a homeschooling mom of 5 boys, ages 5-14. I would also love to have a list of books appropriate for kids. Sometimes it is very hard to decide which books are Biblically sound. Another article on this site mentioned that the Christian bookstore can be one of the most dangerous places. I do not have time right now to read every book out there on Christian worldviews and try to decide if they are correct in their teachings, I am not even sure if I would know myself. I am sure everything on your site is acceptable, and probably AIG and ICR resources, too. I think it would be great if you developed a book reading list for kids to start out with and then keep adding to it as they progress. Thanks so much for all the great articles. God bless. Michelle

Brannon, I completely agree with your points about starting young and using incentives. As a homeschool mom, I incorporate these concepts into our schooling every day. However, it appears to me that most of the worldview training materials are written to a teenage audience or to the parents. You mentioned your son is 10 and that you have him reading books you have selected. Would you be willing to share your book list with us? I would specifically like to see reading suggestions based on age categories. Thanks.
