Not too long ago, I did a blog post on a contest where you could nominate someone you felt had a 'homeschool heart'.  The winner received the newly released autographed copy of the book, Stories for the Homeschool Heart, that has just been released in August 2010!  I nominated my friend who I felt had a homeschool heart and the authors of the book, Patti Maguire Armstrong and Theresa A. Thomas , emailed me to tell me I won 2 copies of their new book!  So I have one and I gave one to my friend who I nominated!

Do you need to be encouraged as a parent whether you homeschool or not?  Are you looking for stories that inspire, give you hope, and joy?  Do you want to be lifted up in mind and spirit when you sit down and read several short stories from several contributor's from all walks of life?  Do you want to see how God's grace is sufficient even in the most difficult trials?  Do you want to laugh, cry, be thankful, and smile all in one sitting as each short story gives you a glimpse into other's lives?

If you said "Yes" to any of these questions, then I highly recommend purchasing Stories for the Homeschool Heart!
I can't say enough good things about this book!  It is evident that Patti and Theresa, and all the amazing contributor's not only worked hard, but they spoke from their hearts to bless others with their stories.  Besides the 2 copies that I won, I bought 2 other copies and I gave them away to homeschool friends that I know will be encouraged when they read this book.




And I thought I was busy!

I encourage all parents to find out more about this great book and purchase a copy for yourself or others.  You will walk away from each story in the book with a new look on life and be inspired to continue on your faith and homeschool journeys.
