Back Issues

Always-Relevant
Teaching Home Back IssuesFifty-one back issues are offered online
or by mail order. The information, inspiration, and
encouragement packed into
each back issue never goes out of date. They
are always
relevant, applicable to your needs today. Order securely online. A reader in Indiana wrote, "I have
subscribed for the past ten years. You have
been my mainstay. When I first began home
schooling, I had no support group, and your
magazine gave me the encouragement and
knowledge to continue. I have read countless
letters from your readers who have said the
same thing." In each issue an average of 58 home
schoolers contribute
practical how-to articles, encouraging
letters, and ready-to-use
teaching tips. "The Teaching Home has been a part of my
continuing education since I started home
schooling, and I have kept every issue. "I often go back to old issues to find
creative, helpful hints or inspiration."
Meredith C., Florida
Fractional Understanding
At the grocery store one day, I asked our
6-year-old daughter, Chilan, to hurry after
her dad, who was going to the dairy product
counter, and pick up a carton of
half-and-half. Chilan started to run, but then spun
around. "I know that a half and a half make a
whole. But just a whole of what do you
want, Mom?" Submitted by Lien N., California. Send your humorous
anecdote to
publisher@teachinghome.com.
Because we have been separated from God by
sin, Jesus Christ died in our place, then
rose to life again. If we trust Him as our
Savior and Lord, He will forgive our sin and
give us eternal life. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whoever believes in
Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."
(John 3:16)

Christian Character ABCs
by Joy Marie Dunlap
Ais for Alertness, being careful to see
Things which could
hurt others, and which might tempt me.
Bis for Benevolence when the things
that I do
Are for the good of
others, and to God's Word I'm true.
Cis for Courage to do what is right,
When in trials we
walk by faith, not by sight.
Dis for Diligence, when I work with a
will,
And if the job is
not done yet, I keep working still.
Eis for Endurance, with my eyes fixed
on Him,
And the joy set
before me, my resolve must never dim.
Fis for Faithfulness, when I do
heartily
All the good in my
power, which God has for me.
Gis for Gratefulness, not forgetting
the ways,
In which God has
done good to me all of my days.
His for Honesty, saying only what is
true,
And not deceiving by
the things that I do.

Because my heart is
sincere, that they can trust me.

That comes from
obeying and doing my part.
Kis for Kindness, when we are careful
to treat,
As well-loved by our
Father, all those whom we meet.
Lis for Love, when I'm patient and
kind,
And do my best good
for others each chance that I find.

place,
When I'd rather
honor others than save my own face.
Nis for Neatness, keeping all that is
mine,
From being a
distraction and taking people's time.
Ois for Obedience, when Jesus is Lord,
And my life is all
His, I obey all His Word.
Pis for Patience, when I'm willing to
wait,
Because I have faith
that God's timing's not late.

peace,
It comes when my own
wants and plans I release.
Ris for Resourcefulness, when I
creatively use
What God has given
me, contentment I choose.
