Hello Everyone!

I just wanted to thank you all for the generous comments, feedback, and thoughtful recommendations concerning this “Teaching With God’s Heart for the World” curriculum. I wrote this about 16 years ago, and it’s now totally out-of-print. If you look on Amazon, you may be able to find a few spiral-bound copies “floating around” . . . but since they were nearly impossible to find, my husband and I (and the original publisher) made the decision to put the material on-line (as printable “pdf” files) totally for FREE. We now have seven children (ages 7 to 21) and we’re in our 18th year of homeschooling.

This year, I’m actually “working through” this curriculum, and I’m adding updated thoughts and resources as I’m using it with our three youngest kids (ages 7, 10, 12). Just recently, I’ve put together an on-line blog forum especially to help with weekly interaction and encouragement throughout the year (and I’m finding all kinds of mistakes and things I don’t like . . . and I’m adding new ideas which have come from the last 16 years of experience, both in teaching, and in world missions).

There are quite a few families using it this year . . . and I’d love it if any of you would like to come and share YOUR thoughts and ideas with some mission-minded friends.

Blessings to you all!
Ann

Thank you so much for letting us know about this. This is exactly what I have been looking for. A way to teach history and geography that is meaningful and with a Biblical worldview. Thanks

I have the hard copy of this curriculum. I purchased both volumes for $5 on clearance. We are using it this year with our children(ages 14,8, and 6.) I like it because I can do everyone at once and then work one on one with them on their 3R’s. I didn’t know that it was available online. What a wonderful blessing!

I used this curriculum with my kids a few years back and it was definitely life-changing! I have used many unit study curriculum over the 9 years I have been homeschooling, but I have to say this one was the absolute best! I would wait until your kiddos are about 3-5th grade to get the most from it. Blessings and thanks for all your great posts!
