Narration In Favor Of Books When You Rise Up: A Covenantal Approach to Homeschooling

When I first began to homeschool our children, it was purely out of selfish goals: we love learning and having fun together all day long; we enjoy the freedom to study what we want, when we want, in whatever clothing we want, and in whatever comfy chairs we want; our kids will likely test well for college prep for reasons such as interest-driven learning and the low teacher-to-student ratio. However, increasingly I am realizing these reasons for homeschooling should not be even on my radar, if I am to call myself a Jesus-follower. If we are to obey Biblical instruction on child-rearing, we should teach our children for no other reason than that the Lord commands it. The rest is bonus. Deuteronomy 6 is one of many passages that make it clear who should teach “these things” to the children; and what are “these things?” The ways of the Lord. Yes, it’s nice if our kids know a metamorphic rock from a sedimentary one. But what if they know every element on the periodic table and don’t know how to “act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with the Lord?” Just as my children are learning each day to follow God, partly through a morning devotion time, but mostly through the conversations we have about life, the universe and everything; I, too, am learning to grow closer to my God by listening to instruction from His word and from the godly counsel of other believers such as R.C Sproul, Jr. Though I don’t agree with everything he espouses in this book (such as his girls-ought-to-sew-dresses-and-bake-bread-mentality…not everyone will have the same giftedness), I think largely he is on the right track in his Biblical focus and in his exhortation to take the “school” out of homeschool and make it more about the life-giving conversations we are having with our children. In a culture that values high scores and college preparedness above all other gods, even among the Christian homeschool subset, the Biblical mandate to homeschool needs more vocal proponents.

Really liked this book, very clear and easy to understand. It is a very controversial topic but R.C cuts to the basics in a very thoughtful and helpful way.

You can not determine what to teach your children by taking away what should not be taught to your children When you rise up by R C Sproul is a good read, a worthwhile read. A fast read too, I could have one it in one day; the text is not deep and the references plain. No, there is not a lot of new material in it; but the topics covered as looked at in detail. It focuses Biblically mainly on Psalm 78:1 8 and on Deu 6: 1 9. the emphasis of the book is that God has given parent the

I read this book every year before I start homeschool for the year. It is very inspiring in that it takes the "pressure" off to be perfect and do everything. It is about a covenental approach to homeschooling and how God directs our steps. Great book!



Why do we homeschool? Is it so we can have the smartest kids on the block? No! It's so that we can pass on our faith! We teach Jesus Christ and him crucified to our children so they can teach their children to teach their children to teach their children....

I'm quite surprised that I did not really enjoy this book. I definitely agree with the author on his conclusion, but I can't say I agree with how he came to the conclusion. He seemed to ramble quite a bit, following rabbit trails that I didn't think pertained to the topic. The book is not at all what I expected. I think it is good encouragement for those who already homeschool, but that's about it.

Millions of God's people throughout history have served him without being able to read. This does not mean that reading is not important, but that it is not of highest importance.
