When we made our decision to homeschool, we made sure we read up to be reassured and be inspired about homeschooling.
It’s always good to read about what people think about homeschooling, how they homeschool, or how to approach homeschooling from a different point of view. These are our favorite books—books that we can refer to year after year.

Mystery of History by Linda Lacour Hobar
In addition to the Bible, The Mystery of History (MOH) is one of our favorite books. This is a great resource for Christian families learning world history.
MOH is a chronological, complete, easy-to-use, historically accurate, and Christ-centered curriculum for all ages.
It includes activities for multiple ages, timeline work, mapping exercises, memory games, literature lists, and audiobooks to engage students of all ages and learning styles.
Apologia by Apologia Educational Ministries, Inc.
We love Apologia science books. They are designed to help both parents and students simplify the lessons and ensure successful independent study.
Unlike most science books, Apologia offers creation-based science curriculum and is taught from a biblical worldview. Apologia has resources for parents to help them create an environment of learning that is best suited for each individual child in elementary, middle school or high school.
Aside from books, they have age-appropriate note booking journals where students can record experiences, observations, and thoughts.
