Teaching from Rest

A Homeschooler's Guide to Unshakable Peace

De: Sarah Mackenzie

Narrado por: Sarah Mackenzie

Those who have made the decision to homeschool their children have done so out of great love for them and a desire to provide them an excellent education in the context of a warm, enriching home. Yet so many parents (mainly mothers) who have taken up this challenge find the enterprise often full of stress, worry, and anxiety. In this practical, faith-based, and inspirational book, Sarah Mackenzie addresses these questions directly, appealing to her own study of restful learning and her struggle to bring restful learning to her (six) children.

Given me strength to press on & furthered my love for Sarah Mackenzie.

This book is amazing. As a new homeschooling mom (in our 5th week of our 2st homeschool year), I have already come to feel slightly overwhelmed with all there is " to do". The fear creeps up from time to time about whether or not I'll screw up our kids. But, I know the Lord has called me to do this great work. I must continue to trust that He will see it through to completion. I must rest in that.

Thank you, Sarah for reminding me to rest- to trust that when I need Him (which is all the time), He will immediately answer my cry. I can rest assured in that.

"love this book will listen to it again and again

will listen to over and over to be reminded of my why and how not to get overwhelmed while educating my children at home. the author does a wonderful job expressing her heartfelt emotions on the topic.

A must read!!!

This is one of the best and shortest books every parent should read wether they home school or not!

Exactly what the Lord wanted me to hear

I just finished his audiobook in two days. I am a stressed out, perfectionist, homeschooling mama, who so much wants to enjoy my experiences teaching my children. Right now I am paralyzed by fear of failure. I am so grateful for Sarah's insights and her bravery and selflessness in sharing. Thank you for his audiobook. I will be returning to it over and over. It is in my loop. 😉

So many things stood out to me in this book. Simplicity. Trusting the Lord to make us more. Great ideas for implementation. He last principle she shared in the end of the book was the most meaningful to me, "Rest in the fact that the Lord will use our mistakes and our successes....Here I am Lord, use me." This is my goal this year. To be an instrument in his hands.

I will be sharing this with my homeschooling friends. Thank you so much!

A beautiful perspective

I love how Sarah encourages moms to teach according to their personality, passions and capacities. to think outside the box, and allow the Holly Spirit to bring inspiration. Such a perspective-correction and encouragement for tired homeschool moms who long to raise amazing kids.
