Over the last 17 years of home schooling I have spent many wonderful hours doing family devotions with the children. It has been the joy and the heart of our home schooling. Many women began asking me to write about what I’ve learned over these years, and what I found to be effective. So finally, I put pen to paper and wrote the first volume in a set of four intended books for parents to use in their family devotions.
“Hear O Israel; the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your house and on your gates.” Deuteronomy 6:4-9
