The Guidance Manual for the Christian Home School: A Parent's Guide for Preparing Home School Students for College or Career

The Guidance Manual For The Christian Home School is a complete, step-by-step, "user friendly" guide for home schooling parents to prepare their homeschooled children for college or a career. Homeschooling support group leaders and activists David and Laurie Callihan draw upon their more than fifteen years of practical experience to show home schooling parents how to foster active thinking and moral discernment in their children that will make a real difference for their sons and daughters in life and learning after their home schooling years. The Guidance Manual For The Christian Home School provides specific tools, plans and procedures for parents in getting their children where they want them to go as they prepare for entrance into the wider world, including mission opportunities, apprenticeships in Christian organizations, and opportunities in the military. The Guidance Manual For The Christian Home School is "must" reading for any parent considering a homeschooling option for their child, and has a wealth of information and practical ideas for even the experienced homeschooler.

This book is absolutely THE most comprehensive resource book I have found for preparing my Home Schooled son for college and/or career! It covers everything from long term planning, testing, work, advanced studies, when & how to begin, resources & web sites to check out, and a wealth of other valuable information. Although it is intended for the Home Schooled High Schooler, I feel this would be equally beneficial to ANY high schooler as well as their parents, who want their child to get the best head start on the road to college and adulthood possible. This is a great tool to use to gauge where and how well prepared your student is for their future!

This is one book you CAN judge by the cover...if you read the cover, I mean. Not JUST opinions from "experts", this book is stuffed full of absolutely essential information only parents who have successfully homeschooled their own children from toddlerhood to college can offer. 100% twaddle-free, with much to offer any family. Whether you are just beginning to consider home-education or have all but completed your studies at home, you will want to dog-ear the pages and keep it close to refer to frequently. Don't tell your friends you have it unless you know they've got their own copy!

Well... oops I never really read it (YET), but i'm sure it's great knowing the Callihans it probably has to be. I suggest reading it... i've heard lots about it.
