Please be patient, and check back again for more links.
Click here to go to the catalog write-up for this book. (It can be ordered from there.) For a list of ALL the main links here at our website, go to the very bottom of this page.
In
the meantime, if you want ALL the articles in the Homeschool Guide-a-log, it
is only $7 (+$4 s/h), so at least that's available for anyone who really wants the whole thing.
(If you have a hard time paying for it, consider it a way to keep our ministry going, because that's exactly what it is.
