 Here's what you could win:

Creative Freewriting Adventure - A Journey into Freewriting ($21.95)

Bring joy and excitement into your student’s writing with these simple-to-execute (yet significant) writing exercises. No prep required. Just grab a pen and paper, set a timer, and have fun! Writing can be hard work. Good writing most often results from much rewriting, and much rewriting can make a writer weary. Since Philosophy Adventure™ students polish one primary writing assignment over the course of several weeks (supported by clear step-by-step instructions and seven writing checklists), we created freewriting exercises to offset their hard work with play!

***

Philosophy Adventure™ — Pre-Socratics Complete Set with Resources CD  ($89.95)

DO YOU NEED to teach advanced writing and speaking skills? DO YOU WANT your students equipped to discern truth as ungodly messages bombard them? DO YOU WONDER how to cover all they need academically as well as practically? Philosophy Adventure may be your solution! Philosophy Adventure™ is designed to help students 6th-12th grade cultivate and defend a biblical worldview by teaching them how to write skillfully, think critically, and speak articulately as they explore the history of ideas.

***

Mere Christianity Journal and Softcover Print Bundle (Journal & Book) ($38.95)

Have we forgotten whose we are? In this “Age of Tolerance,” Christians are in danger of forgetting (or never learning) what distinguishes a Christian worldview from other worldviews. The Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal is a powerful tool to strengthen critical thinking while cultivating a biblical worldview. A companion to Lewis’s classic work, the Journal can be used for independent study with teenagers or adults, or as a group study in families, homeschools, co-ops, classrooms, Sunday school, and small groups. This bundle contains the Print Edition of the Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal with a softcover edition of Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis’s original work.

***

Philippians in 28 Weeks -- Scripture Memory Resource ($28.95)

What does it mean to love Him with all your mind? The Bible is banned in many countries. Countless believers have sacrificed their freedom—and many, their lives—to spread the message of God’s love and salvation contained within its pages. Are we exercising our freedom responsibly? Memorize the entire book of Philippians in 28 weeks!

***

The Wise Woman with Literary Analysis Journal Questions ($28.95)

How do you train a heart? George MacDonald's The Wise Woman enchants readers while it contrasts the ugliness of pride, selfishness and conceit with the beauty of humility, sacrifice, and compassion. The Wise Woman is a perfect story for a family to read together curled up on the couch under a warm afghan or after a meal. (It is only fair to warn you: once you read the first chapter, you might not put it down. More than one mom has stayed up late to read after her children have gone to bed.) Read each chapter and discuss the literary analysis questions and vocabulary. Clear writing requires clear thinking. The exercise of formulating and writing answers will strengthen your students’ thinking and communication skills. Middle school and high school students create a profound keepsake as they write their answers in the book. By offering students 16 to 24 literary analysis questions per chapter, this 160-page spiral bound edition teaches critical thinking in a way that is engaging and transformational.

***

Nancy Pearcey Book Bundle ($63.98)

Nancy R. Pearcey  is scholar in residence and professor at Houston Baptist University, where she is also director of the Francis Schaeffer Center for Worldview and Culture. She is also a fellow at the Discovery Institute. Previously she was the Francis A. Schaeffer Scholar at the World Journalism Institute, where she taught a worldview course based on her book Total Truth, winner of the 2005 ECPA Gold Medallion Award for best book on Christianity and Society. She has also served as professor of worldview studies at Philadelphia Biblical University, during which time she wrote her most recent book, Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, and Meaning. This bundle of books written by Nancy Pearcey includes: The Soul of Science - Christian Faith and Natural Philosophy Total Truth- Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity Saving Leonard0 - A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals & Meaning

Homeschool Adventure Co. Review: Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal



This post contains affliate links. I will earn a commission if you purchase by using the affliate in this post. 

I am excited to introduce to you a BRAND New product by Stacy Farrell and her company Home School Adventure Co. I proudly helped Stacy launch a product last summer and now I introduce to you Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal.



My boys and I have enjoyed reading the Chronicle of Narnia series by C.S.Lewis together over the past couple of years. I have never read anything other then the Narnia series books by C.S. Lewis, though I tried a couple of times. I felt that his writings and books are so deep that I just couldn't read it without a guide. I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to review the Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal. I finally had a "guide" to help me think through the deep writings of C.S. Lewis.

I decided that my 6th grader and I would go through this together. He is a GREAT reader and his loves the challenge of deep thinking. I downloaded the ebook of Mere Christianity to both of our tablets so we can read & follow along together. I can not express how grateful I am that this opportunity came along as it has proven to be an awesome bonding time with my son. He and I both learned from this, but it was also a growing time in our faith, especially for Joshua. Joshua had been struggling lately with certain faith issues, but the Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal really made him think and it really opened his eyes. Seeing his eyes opened to different things, was encouraging to me as he has been going through those "Growing times" and not been very open. I myself also had some eye opening moments. We have not made our way through the whole book nor journal, but we are continuing on. We also feel that the 10-16 questions at the end of each section are the perfect amount to get you thinking!

Stacy Farrell really has put a lot of work into the Mere Christianity Journal and I know this Journal will help many! I will be recommending this for a group study for a group that I am a part of!



Book Description: 
The classic work commonly known as Mere Christianity is actually a four-book series which explores the common ground upon which all Christians stand. It brings together Lewis’ legendary radio talks broadcast during World War II previously published as: Right and Wrong as a Clue to the Meaning of the Universe, What Christians Believe, Christian Behavior, andBeyond Personality (or First Steps in the Doctrine of the Trinity), and provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear this powerful apologetic for the Christian faith.

The Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal is a powerful tool to strengthen critical thinking while cultivating a biblical worldview. Although it was originally created to be a companion resource to Philosophy Adventure, it may also be used as group or independent study for teenagers or adults.

It provides 10-16 questions for each chapter which can be discussed in:
homeschools
co-ops
classrooms
Sunday school
small groups
families

Author Bio:


Stacy Farrell’s worldview changed when she embarked on her homeschooling adventure in 2002.
Her background as a consultant and writer well-prepared her to teach communication skills; however, only hands-on experience (and much time spent on her knees) equipped her to mentor her sons through the character-transformation required to help them work toward their full potential.

Stacy has spoken at a variety of homeschool conferences and has published articles in leading Christian magazines. She wrote scripts for Willow Creek’s youth ministry, copy for Pastor Bill Hybel’s “Defining Moments” Audio Newsletter, and a broad range of material for corporate and non-profit clients. She also managed a law firm that specialized in civil rights litigation and constitutional law. Today, she loves to help empower students to recover territory lost by “fuzzy thinking” and low expectations. To that end, she created:

Philosophy Adventure™—Pre-Socratics – designed to help students 6th-12th grade cultivate and defend a biblical worldview by teaching them how to write skillfully, think critically, and speak articulately as they explore the history of ideas
Philippians in 28 Weeks™ — a simple and painless way to memorize an entire book of Scripture
The Wise Woman with Literary Analysis Journal Questions – an enchanting fable that unmasks the ugliness of pride and selfishness
Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal -- a powerful tool to strengthen critical thinking while cultivating a biblical worldview.

Although Stacy loves to write, speak, and teach, she considers her role as wife to Roger and mother to two precious sons to be her greatest work and privilege. You can learn more about her resources at ttp://www.homeschooladventure.com.

A Christmas Writing Freebie from Home School Adventure Co

This post contains Affiliate Links which means I will receive a commission if you purchase through the Affiliate Link.


Home School Adventure Co. is a GREAT company that I have had the pleasure of helping to promote this year. They have just released a Christmas Writing FREEBIE for all their Subscribers. Subscribers receive FREE email updates from Home School Adventure Co. on all the great products and more! The Christmas Writing FREEBIE is available for both Current and new Subscribers.



Writing can be hard work. Good writing most often results from much rewriting, and much rewriting can make a writer weary. 

Because  Philosophy Adventure™ students create and refine a biographical narrative speech over the course of several weeks, (supported by clear step-by-step guidance and seven writing checklists), we created several freewriting exercises to offset that hard work with play, and simply encourage students to have fun writing. 

We soon discovered that students—even those who considered themselves “non-writers”—produced surprising results using these exercises. Both students and parents were amazed. (Some parents even joined in the fun!) 

We are delighted to share with you this “Christmas Freewriting.”

To download your own copy of the Christmas Freewriting Freebie, visit Home School Adventure Co.
