My wife, Mandy, and I made the decision to shift to homeschooling our children fifteen years ago. In that time, two of our children have finished high school. Though I have helped her in that she has borne the lion’s share of the responsibility. Along the way, we have used a variety of curriculums but the one Mandy finds the most versatile and well-rounded is BJU Press Homeschool. From her perspective, it is well-designed, academically solid, user friendly, and functions well with multiple children or grade levels. She also specifically cites in its favor the fact it uses the KJV and develops a biblical worldview in the student.
Recently, Mandy made the decision to
become a consultant for Homeworks by Precept, the organization that distributes
BJU Press Homeschool. As she says in her bio, “I was helped more than ten years
ago at a BJU Press Homeschool booth by a caring and knowledgeable consultant,
and I hope to be that for you.”

On an unrelated note, one of the
lesser known aspects of Brennan’s Pen is Brennan’s Pulpit. I do not stream our
church services, but I do make each of my sermons available to anyone who is
interested in them. This week, I am beginning a new Wednesday night series
entitled, “Character is King.” Godly Christian character is disappearing
rapidly in our generation, but it is an absolute essential if you are going to
build a solid, successful, stable Christian life. Some of the related subjects
we will consider is what character is, character and reputation, character and
emotion, character and accountability, and how to build godly character. We
will discuss what the Bible teaches about specific character traits such as
compassion, loyalty, consistency, responsibility, stability, courage,
perseverance, gratitude, excellence, patriotism, gentleness, diligence,
cheerfulness, purity, toughness, duty, frugality, generosity, contentment, humility,
respect, fairness, and the work ethic.
If you are already a subscriber to
Brennan’s Pulpit you do not need to do anything; you will receive these
messages as you normally do. If you are not a subscriber but you would like to
become one simply reply to this email or send me a direct message on social
media and asked to be added and I will take care of it. There is no charge; expenses
are underwritten by my Patreon supporters.
The blog series on marriage resumes
next Monday. See you then.
Is this series going to become a book?
ReplyDeleteI have no plans to write/publish it as a book, no. It may become a blog series, but I'm not even sure about that. Too soon to tell.
Deletehmm, somebody forgot to sign in LOL ;-)
