The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach Bible Based Homeschooling

 The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach by Robin Sampson

Created for all homeschoolers that want the Bible to be the center of their school day. The Heart of Wisdom Teaching Approach is a combination of several popular homeschool methods: Hebrew education methods, Charlotte Mason, delight-directed, thematic unit studies, lifestyle of learning, learning styles, writing to learn, and notebooking.

Author Robin Sampson provides you with the methods, program, and resources for a course of study where students spend half the school day studying God's Word and the other half studying God's world (academics). Students study history chronologically and science in the order of the days of creation. This book will instruct you, step by step, how to give your child a Bible-focused, comprehensive education from preschool through high school; one that will train him or her to read, study, understand, love to learn, and most importantly desire and seek true wisdom. This approach can be used for all grade levels.

If you are a Charlotte Mason fan, you should love the way the lessons are presented.  She combines Charlotte Mason's time-tested approach with Marilyn Howshall's ideas.  The Heart of Wisdom approach adds the 4Mat System of learning which gives you a method that appeals to all learning styles.  If you like combining unit studies and the Charlotte Mason approach, with a heavy emphasis on Bible study, then you will love the Heart of Wisdom Approach.

Author Robin Sampson, homeschool mother of eleven is a popular author of a dozen homeschool and Bible study books including Ancient History: Adam to Messiah, What Your Child Needs to Know When, Wisdom: An internet-Linked Unit Study,  and A Family Guide to the Biblical Holidays.
