I homeschool and am always on the lookout for new homeschooling books. I found this little gem on Amazon.com and laughed when I read the book description. The words used sound very Maxwellian, if you know what I mean.

Yes, it would certainly make homeschooling a lot easier if you let God do the teaching. :lol:

How the hell does homeschooling become an idol? Inquiring minds want to know. :?

I guess it's an idol when learning becomes the main reason for homeschooling, and religion becomes a secondary consideration. For these SOTDRT homeschoolers, God should be the main focus for everything, even if it means giving their kids a substandard education.

Homeschooling is a hard thing to do well, and it involves lots of time, energy and commitment. This ebook gives other homeschoolers the impression that as long as they focus on God in their homeschool they have done enough and the academics don't matter. This is so not true, and the kids will suffer for her taking the easy route and letting God lead her school.

Focus on God, FOCUS on God, FOCUS ON GOD...it's the mantra that keeps them brainwashed isn't it? The fear they must feel when they catch themselves focusing on something else.

I'm guessing the same way Pepsi becomes an idol.
