- A Quiet and Gentle Spirit in the Slums of India
by Beverly S. Krueger
India is a place of stark contrasts. It is filthy, and yet everywhere there are beautiful young women with flowers in their hair. People live in thatched huts or tents made from plastic tarps not far from Internet kiosks.
- Be It Resolved...
by Beverly S. Krueger
As homeschoolers, we don't believe in dumbed down education. Why then do we still approach resolutions in a dumbed down manner. Our fore-fathers looked at resolutions as a lifetime's work. Ours are in the dumpster within weeks of the new year. Can we do better?
- Consider Your Ways
by Beverly S. Krueger
Through the prophet Haggai, the Lord spoke to the Israelites who had returned from exile in Babylon, rebuking them for not proceeding with the rebuilding of the temple. They had built their own houses but not the Lord's. Reading these words gave me pause. In what ways do I "build" my own house but neglect His.
- Developing a Child’s Faith
by Beverly S. Krueger
What does a child need to know about the Lord?
- Down Stream
by Beverly S. Krueger
If you were to look down stream in your life, what would you discover? What you're doing right now is being carried down stream into the lives of your children, your spouse, your friends, even your community. It's possible to have the outflow of your life be streams of living water.
- From Milk to Meat
by Maribeth Spangenberg
As Christian homeschooling mothers, Bible study should be a strong emphasis of our efforts. Educating our children at home affords us the blessed opportunity to be a spiritual force in their lives. While traditional schooling often makes it difficult for kids to remain faithful in morning devotions, homeschooling can have adjustable time frames to allow for, and place an emphasis on, regular, daily time spent with the Lord.
- God's Provision
by Beverly S. Krueger
When the ground falls out from underneath you, it is then you truly discover that God's promises to provide are never failing.
- Growing as Parents: Our Influence and Attitude
by Tamara Eaton
As homeschooling parents, we probably have more influence upon our children's lives than anyone else does. Recently, I was thinking about the idea promoted by sociologists: "What you think of yourself is largely determined by your perception of what the most important person in your life thinks of you."
- How to Search the Scriptures
by Beverly S. Krueger
This method of Bible study was perfected in a small group Bible study I participated in for many years. As a group we grew closer to the Lord and each other by using this method to search all of scripture to gain insights into the character of God and his personal plan for our lives. The method is intense, but once learned and practiced becomes easier and less time consuming.
- Hymns of Praise to God the Creator
by EHO Staff
The words and music to some of the greatest hymns ever written about our great Creator God.
- In His Presence
by Tamara Eaton
If someone asked us if we'd like to meet personally with our Heavenly Father and hear what important things He has to say, wouldn't we all say yes? Jesus has already made that possible for us by His shed Blood--we can enter into the Holy of Holies. What a privilege and honor--never to be taken for granted. We should delight to come into God's presence and study His Word! Even so, making time to spend with the Lord and in His Word is a common challenge for busy homeschool moms--but so essential to our Christian walk.

- Looking for Perfection
by Beverly S. Krueger
I recently made a purchase from a used bookseller at Amazon. Through no fault of the seller, the book I had ordered and paid for was unavailable. She promptly let me know and refunded my money. That would have been that, except that Amazon sends out feedback requests, and I decided to leave feedback on this seller. I had a positive experience with this seller, so I left her what I thought was a good feedback response. I got a sweet little note from her not thanking me for my good report, but begging that I remove it.

by Beverly S. Krueger

- Overcoming Fear in Your Life
by Beverly S. Krueger
Most homeschoolers are familiar with the fears that homeschooling brings. This article addresses a much more profound level of fear. If fear has caused you to change how you would otherwise live, then it’s time to overcome that fear, not by your own power but by the power of Holy Spirit.
- Praying for Your Children
by Beverly S. Krueger
The Bible says in James 4:2-3, "...you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss,..." When I pray I like to pray 'big' prayers. I like to ask for much. I want those prayers I pray for my children to be the kind of prayers God answers, so I turn to the prayers of the Bible to find ways to pray that I know will be effective.
- Selecting a Bible: How to Choose the Best Bible for Your Needs
by Beverly S. Krueger
With Bibles coming in so many shapes, sizes, translations and versions, it can be difficult to know which Bible offers the best fit for you. Whether you’re selecting a Bible for your beginning reader or one for your personal study, some guidelines will help you find the best Bible for your needs.
- Struggling with Friendships?
by Tamara Eaton
A friend in ministry recently shared how all her friends seemed to be too busy with their own lives to reach out to her during a time of trial and loneliness, in spite of the fact that she'd spent many hours encouraging and praying for them in the past.

- The Importance of Knowing the Scriptures
by Tammy M. Cardwell
While it may be possible to study God’s Word without memorizing it, it is hard to meditate on something day and night when it’s not a part of you.
- We Need the Supernatural
by Tammy M. Cardwell
I grow weary of the continual discussion of whether this movie or that book is good or evil.

Why a Creed?

Some Thoughts on Teaching Bible
by Cyndy Shearer Added: 8/15/2004
I have looked at every Bible curriculum I could find. Nothing has seemed to be just the "Right Thing." They seem to be either too arts and craftsy, or too dependent upon filling in blanks, or not comprehensive enough. Since we have suggested that people teach their children the history of Israel before going on to the history of other nations, we are often asked what we use to teach Bible.

Unit Studies - Bible
- Compassion Unit Study
by Beverly S. Krueger
If you have never used a character quality as a topic for a unit study, you may think doing so will cause you to neglect academics. Although science or social studies may not play as important a role in a character study unit, they can find a place. The goal of a character quality unit is not to impart new academic knowledge, but to learn more about God’s ways and to search our lives and our family life for ways we can develop a particular character quality more fully. While working towards that goal all of the various academic skills, reading, writing, thinking, organizing, will be used.
- Missions and Missionaries Unit Study
by Beverly S. Krueger
Not all are able to make a missions trip for a variety of reasons, but that shouldn’t keep families from receiving the blessings that missions work can bring. A missions unit study can introduce your family to a life long love of a particular nation or people.
