From
Barb...
As
I talked with homeschoolers with younger children, I realized that
there is much in the latest edition of Form+U+la that is completely
applicable to them. However, I haven't felt comfortable just
handing them a copy and telling them to read it because there is
also much in there that they don't need right now ~ that they'd
have to sift through, and at the risk of getting overwhelmed.
So
I went through the book with a fine-tooth comb and designed a
"Personal Guided Tour" through the book which serves
as an excellent "open door" into our ministry for
anyone with children from "in utero" up through
right-before-high-school-age. It's also good for family and
friends who just want to know the heart 'n' soul of what we do,
and why and how we do it. My hope is that it will be more than
just "informational," but that you will also find it
edifying, eye-opening, and encouraging.
One mom told me this: "It is my
opinion that anyone at any stage of their
homeschool experience
should read Form+U+La this way the first time. It isn't
as
overwhelming this way. Once you have a handle on Barb's heart &
on a Lifestyle of
Learning,
then you can read the
whole book." ... So
that's something else to consider! But any way you do it,
I hope you enjoy the
process of getting
through this book! It's not just a "to do"; it's going to
profoundly affect your "to be"!
"Who you are" and
"how you think." Because what you think
IS the direction you
will go.
DIRECTIONS:
First, copy and paste
just the list below into a new document, and then print it out.
Fold and use as a bookmarker. Sit down with this book and
a cup of tea, and imagine that we
are
going through the book together, with
me pointing out different things ~ via the list of page numbers ~ that I
think would be good for you to read. Even though I'm
not right there with you,
remember that the Holy Spirit IS! ... BTW, there is nothing to click on
in the list of page numbers below; you just find these in your
Form+U+la book. The boxes on the left are
to check off once you've read that part.
