Set of 6 DVDs 

Fathers need to begin speaking to their sons. But the conversation can’t be aimless or trivial. Fathers need to talk in manly and specific ways about the duties of Christian manhood. This six-part DVD series is designed to provide fathers and future fathers with simple examples of manly discussion. Where does a dad begin? With the pressing issues that weigh on young minds, these informal, unrehearsed conversations between Geoffrey Botkin and his five sons show how it can be done.

Each episode tackles an age appropriate discipline of manhood and how it is developed with fathers. Sons learn the disciplines of manhood through hard work. Fathers interpret the world for sons through shared adventures. Sons learn leadership duties through worship. Sons learn to conquer the world by dominion and to hold the ground they take through spiritual battle. Each rich conversation is broken into short study segments, and thorough Bible-study notes are provided as PDFs which can jump-start family or Bible-study discussions. Also included is the sixth bonus DVD: How To Talk to Your Sons and 103 pages of study materials.

I’d like to prescribe this series for every father in America. Fathers desperately need to turn their hearts to their sons. This series will give them confidence to do it.”
— D. Matthew Clark, M.D.

We have found these DVD’s an excellent aid in discipling our sons.  Not to be a replacement to talking with your sons by any means, but a great jump start for many families with boys.  Our daughter also benefitted from them. Many important topics are covered from work, worship and war to adventure and many others.  A very useful tool.

You can use this book as a break from your normal maths program to help cement concepts they have been learning, or introduce new concepts from a different angle, developing higher order thinking skills. Forty-four lessons covering these topics: Number and Numeration; Operations; Ratio, Proportion and Percent; Geometry and Introduction to Trigonometry; Probability; Statistics; Algebraic Concepts.

Literary Lessons from the LOTR – Teacher’s Edition

Though one goal of this study is to acquaint the student with Tolkien’s writings, the more important goal is that they learn literary analysis skills that will carry over to their studies of other works, and help develop their writing skills. There are chapter summaries/reviews, vocabulary exercises and quizzes, writing assignments and comprehension questions. But wait, there’s more, much more! With fifteen Unit Studies, the student will explore: Tolkien the Author and Creator of Middle Earth; Linguistics: Etymology and Philology; Setting: the World of Middle Earth; a Map Study; an introduction to ancient epics; Old English: Beowolf (2 Units); Genre: Fantasy as Literature; Poetry; Arthurian Romances (2 units); Unifying Elements: Theme & Motif; final research project. Optional extra units on Religious Elements, and Movies and the Classics. Has all answers to comprehension questions, quizes, tests, etc.

This course is flexible regarding the amount of parent/teacher input. Your student may work independently, however, the more input by the parent, the more benefit the student will gain.

Our 15yo son LOVED  this course!
Suitable for grades 7-12.

Jensen’s Grammar – This book has many things going for it. The lessons are simple and direct. The exercises constantly repeat what has been formerly taught. New ideas are approached incrementally in digestible form. The nature of the exercises forces the students to use what they have learned. In particular this is true with the formula sentences the students are required to produce almost immediately. This book is different. Yes, it is a lot of work, but there is no such thing as a free lunch in learning how to write. The total focus in this book is on the sentence. Grammar is a means, not an end.
