History Supplemental Resource lists
AN IMPORTANT NOTE about the supplemental resources list: PLEASE preview all materials before allowing your child to read or watch them. Most of the materials suggested in these lists have been used in my own home (under my supervision) or in trusted friends’ homes (under their supervision). However, please note that I cannot be responsible for the worldview of any books or material that I did not personally write (or was not published by Master Books). Also, these are not required resources to do these history courses; they are only suggestions. Please do not feel like you have to read or watch anything or everything on every list. Choose what…

"It is important for our children to know that history is not primarily the story of man, it is the story of man inside of the story and display of the sovereignty of God."

my THM story…
Over the last three and a half months, I’ve been on a journey of taking my health back. I had noticed that over the last three years, I had been putting on weight. Being someone who has never really struggled with weight (and having the ability to carry it “well”), I wasn’t too worried. I hadn’t been on a scale in over two years, but I knew that there was more of me than there used to be! I had gone up a size in shirts, and the jeans I used to be able to slip into with no problem were cutting me in half when I sat down. I…

current projects & important updates…
Over the last few weeks I’ve been asked many times about my current projects and important updates. I thought I’d write a blog post and update everyone at once. Writing Projects: This coming week, I will be finishing the rough draft for The World’s Story 3. I am so excited for this project!

Created for Today
Created for Today. This title for a future book keeps rolling around and around in my heart. Created for Today. I have writing projects lined up around the block patiently waiting for completion, so for now, I’ll have to be satisfied with a blog post by that title. It’s so easy to keep looking way out into the distance to that far off goal. But today is the day we’ve been given to live. Today is why we were made. Today is a precious gift, as unique from any other day of your life as a snowflake is from any other. You will never be in the same as you…

This coming March, my eldest child turns 25 years old. [It’s completely shocking.] I thought I would share with you 20 of my hard-earned nuggets of wisdom, learned over the years of parenting my four kids. They are not necessarily in order of importance, mostly because I couldn’t decide which were more important than the others… So here are they are in random order. Write down the funny things they say Kids say the darndest things! At the time that they say them, we think that we will always remember every word, but after a couple of years, the exact wording and even the context starts to slip away. Take…
