Get your highlighters ready!
Let me begin by saying that this is such a great book ... though not for the faint of heart (it is over 450 pages)! I had to purchase a new highlighter halfway through the book! It is definitely for someone seriously seeking information from a Christian perspective. This book may also be extremely helpful for those who may choose to teach something other than a bible-based curriculum. I began reading this book hoping that it would answer a few more questions that I had about curriculum; however, it opened up even more ideas that I had never even thought about. I expected to close the book with a head full of pointers. Well, I got that, and so much more! There is a whole world of possibilities out there for today's home-schooler. It was a lengthy, detailed, inspirational read. I recommend it to anyone that has already made the decision to home school, but needs the knowledge to pick a curriculum that is tailored to the child. This book has a wealth of information within its covers.

Excellent resource for new and veteran home schoolers
Cathy Duffy has done a terrific job reviewing tons of different curricula. This book will also help you assess your child's learning style so you can tailor your choices to it. This is a great book that you will turn to again and again. It is written from a Christian perspective but I think even non-Christians will find a lot of useful information here. Well worth the money.

An excellent Resource!
This is an excellent resource that actually reviews homeschool products by subject and grade.I have never seen such a comprehensive resource as this.Hopefully, in later editions, Ms. Duffy would review products normally used by regular schools whose publishers have become more friendlier to homeschoolers. This will increase the comparison factor. Tips and products that include babies, toddlers and preschoolers in the homeschool scenario would also be a refreshing inclusion. Ms. Duffy, please take note.

Children have their own style of learning
This book gives you recommendations on how to choose educational materials that would be to the advantage of your child's learning style. It changed my way of thinking that I should use what appeals to me as a homeschooler, not considering if it suits my child's learning style. Find out if your child is a Wiggly Willy, Perfect Paula, Competent Carl or a Sociable Sue. Know what learning situations they prefer and dislike. A treasure chest of information!
