An immensely respected leader in today's homeschool movement, Dr. Ruth Beechick encourages families to center all aspects of their children's learning on God's Word in A Biblical Home Education.
Beechick begins by showing how the subjects of worldview, science, and history have been pulled apart from the Bible and how they can be sensibly reconnected. In the author's words, "Since the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, that anti-God teaching can lead only to foolishness."
Also included are chapters on thinking, reading, writing and study skills, learning methods, curriculum tips, and extensive teaching helps.

Summary: Unfortunately Sad
Comment: Ruth Beechick might have the best intentions in the world when writing Christian based books. As a Christian myself, I usually enjoy suggesting Christian books to others. I cannot do so with anything I've ever read by Mrs. Beechick. I am a History teacher at a Christian school myself, and I find her views on history quite contrived. I could not knowingly use some of the conjecture Mrs. Beechick supplies in this book in a lesson. Many of her ideas have absolutely no historic, archeologic, or geologic proof. She bases large portions of her ideas on her own supposed data, and frequently has no outside sources to back her.

Summary: Excellent resource for homeschool families!
Comment: I have had the privilege of reading Dr. Ruth Beechick's newest book, A Biblical Home Education, and as a seasoned homeschool mom, I learned so much from her years of wisdom. She does not recommend a big, fancy curriculum to teach your children. She starts out by recommending that you use the Bible as your main curriculum. And later in the book she gives a few specific book suggestions. But her first goal is to let you know that it is okay to not depend on a curriculum to prepare your children for his or her future. She suggests that you allow your child to grow in the Lord, and your first responsibility is to train your child in the ways of the Lord.
I wish I would have had this book several years ago. It is so easy to hear what great things your friends are doing with their children, and then beat yourself up for not doing "the perfect" curriculum like your friend. All familes are different, and all children within a family are different. I have six children, and I see this in action every single day.
This book has practical ideas and suggestions for you to utilize as they suit your family. One of my favorite resources is found at the back of the book. She has included an Appendix with information on Cross-Dominance. If you have a child that easily confuses "b's" and "d's", you know that I am talking about. She has included some exercises to help your child with cross-dominance issues. I also enjoyed her chapter on nutrition for children with behavioral issues.
If you are looking for a good book to rechagre your homeschool this summer, I highly recommend A Biblical Home Education.

Summary: A great foundation to a God-centered education
Comment: This book has been invaluable for me in setting up my home school curriculum . My particular favorite chapters were "how to stone gays" and "Evolution Schmevolution"
My only complaint is that the book is hard to read from my cave.

Summary: Some very odd theology
Comment: Everything that Beechick says about the actual practice of homeschooling in this book is excellent. I really enjoyed those aspects, but they're not most of the book. However, she promotes some absolutely absurd theological opinions, as though they were self-evident from Scripture! Perhaps the most off-the-wall is her assertion that the physical organ of the heart actually thinks, and that there is a difference between heart-thinking and brain-thinking.
