I loved every word, from the idealism to the practicality. It is alive with passion and grace, with the reality of hard days parenting and the deeper reality of God's great gift of being a parent. As Sally rightly attests, if you are a parent you are a teacher and mentor, and your home is a canvas upon which you paint the backdrop of your children's lives. And although this book is about homeschooling, it is not necessarily for homeschooling families. It is a book that looks at what it takes to create a family culture and home atmosphere that loves learning because in it there is a deep and genuine love for the Creator of all knowledge. I had the great pleasure of listening to it as an audiobook read by the author, and even the simple sound of Sally's voice has such a richness of a life well lived, full of faith and genuine love.Īwaking Wonder is Sally's reflection on her heart posture and general philosophy behind homeschooling her four, now grown, children. Her new book, Awaking Wonder, is one of my all-time favourites. She is the mentor I have always longed for and her writing never disappoints.
