Home Is Where The Truth Is: Why You Can and Should Homeschool Your Child

by Maeve Jemison

Today’s youth have a lot going against them as they trudge onto their school campuses. Sitting in cold, hard desks they’re force-fed facts that quickly zap the joy of discovery right out of them. Next, they’re indoctrinated with progressive ideologies meant to sexualize them and incite hatred for America. The fear of a gunman kicking in their classroom door constantly looms in the back of their mind. This is the loneliest, most anxious, and depressed young generation our world has possibly ever seen. Oh, and on top of all that...they might not really be a boy or a girl.

You can keep subjecting your kids to the poison, or you can bring them home to flourish. This book gives you the pro tips and encouragement to discover what millions of other parents already the best thing for their families is to take back control of their lives and their children’s education.

Ahead of you awaits a family bond you never imagined possible, and the role of primary guide for your child down the path God created them for. Even though it starts in your living room, this mission will be far-reaching. At the very least, your impact will be felt down to your grandchildren’s generation. At most, to all of eternity.

Great guide for homeschooling your children.

[Danielle Hagen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Home is Where the Truth Is, is unlike any homeschool book I’ve ever read. The author was refreshingly not shy to put all topics out on the table for discussion.
Overall, I loved that the author revealed that homeschooling has been an amazing opportunity to bring her kiddos hearts closer to the Lord. I too have seen the fruits of this with my own homeschooled kids. What a blessing!
I also loved that you beautifully get to know the author’s personality page after page, & you suddenly feel like you are just having a conversation with a close girlfriend. I definitely recommend Home is Where the Truth Is, if you are considering, or on the fence about homeschooling. Actually, I recommend it to parents who are already homeschooling as well…I learned a great deal of things I did not know about! Wonderful read!

Maeve Jemison’s literary style is captivatingly conversational. Reading becomes listening to a woman who is faithful, loving, smart and unquestionably hilarious. This book is an investigation of truth with a sense of humor. Whatever your state of life, whether single, married, children or no children, this book is a bullseye into uncovering the effectiveness of families educating their children in the real world with a sense of adventure. Titling each chapter of her book after a lie she is unmasking is creatively brilliant. Maeve is the Sherlock Holmes of uncovering the history and myths of education in America. “Home Is Where the Truth Is” is a must-have for every home library. Congratulations Maeve!

I don't have children yet, but this was such an eye opening book to read. I thought that the book was so well written, the voice was so strong, clear and funny! It was educational and I feel like this is an excellent book for anyone concerned about schools today and providing the best opportunity for their children and family.
This book has been a joy to read. I felt the most connected to the chapters about alternate learning styles and how to accommodate but provide the best opportunity for growth learning.
This is an excellent read for anyone thinking about homeschooling!

I was given this book free for a review and wow I would recommend this to anyone starting or even in the middle of homeschooling! So much wisdom and encouragement to enjoy learning alongside your kids and breaking all the lies surrounding why you can’t do it. Chapter 10 was exactly what I needed in my current homeschool journey, to forget benchmarks and follow my son’s passions so he grows to LOVE learning. This book will make you want to dive deeper into studying the history or education and all the ways you can and SHOULD homeschool your kids!

This wonderful book pulls back the curtain and exposes the lies that people have spread about homeschooling!
The author presents a logical case for the explosion of homeschooling in recent years. She shares her and others' experiences as she carefully deals with each misconception about homeschooling. She offers a lot of good advice and practical tips to be a successful homeschooling parent. Being flexible is key.

What a great read! I never considered homeschooling and even though my kids are grown, I found this book to be riveting. I laughed, I cried and I spend a lot of time self reflecting. If you are even considering homeschooling this book is a must read.

Reading this book felt like I was talking with a friend over coffee. A heavy subject, the future of our children, made easier with real life experiences, direct links to information, and an author who is cheering you on.
