"From the founding of the colonies to the declaration of the Supreme Court, America's heritage is built upon the principles of the Christian religion. And yet the secularists are dismantling this foundation brick by brick, attempting to deny the very core of our national life. Gary DeMar presents well-documented facts which will change your perspective about what it means to be a Christian in America; the truth about America's Christian past as it relates to supreme court justices, and presidents; the Christian character of colonial charters, state constitutions, and the US Constitution; the Christian foundation of colleges, the Christian character of Washington, D.C.; the origin of Thanksgiving and so much more."--Publisher's description

Rosalie Slater's classic volume (designed to accompany Verna Hall's CHOC I) describes a curriculum for teaching and learning America's Christian history and the historic method of education, the Principle Approach. A method of education that instructs children how to reason from a Biblical worldview, this enables them to excel academically, and instills Christian character in the individual.

In this insightful book, two leading scholars in Christian education trace the history of the discipline from the Old Testament to the present. Presented against the backdrop of wider philosophical thought and historical events, Anthony and Benson show how each successive era shaped the practice of Christian education today. The result is a book brimming with insights that reveal the historical roots and philosophical underpinnings of issues relevant to current practice in Christian education ministries."The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with more than just valuable insights regarding the past. . . . The future is the emphasis of this history book." From the Introduction

Children living in poverty have the same God-given potential as children in wealthier communities, but on average they achieve at significantly lower levels. Kids who both live in poverty and read below grade level by third grade are three times as likely not to graduate from high school as students who have never been poor. By the time children in low-income communities are in fourth grade, they're already three grade levels behind their peers in wealthier communities. More than half won't graduate from high school--and many that do graduate only perform at an eighth-grade level. Only one in ten will go on to graduate from college. These students have severely diminished opportunities for personal prosperity and professional success. It is clear that America's public schools do not provide a high quality public education for the sixteen million children growing up in poverty. Education expert Nicole Baker Fulgham explores what Christians can--and should--do to champion urgently needed reform and help improve our public schools. The book provides concrete action steps for working to ensure that all of God's children get the quality public education they deserve. It also features personal narratives from the author and other Christian public school teachers that demonstrate how the achievement gap in public education can be solved.

This new edition of Renewing the Mind for Teaching and Learning has been updated. The thirst for learning is so apparent in young children and each new day provides a platform for exploration. But as children grow and mature, the desire for knowledge is often dulled by secular ideas and the joy of study and learning is extinguished by mind-numbing curriculum. How can Christian parents combat the anti-Biblical forces that assail the family daily? How can we safeguard our children's hearts and minds that are assaulted with ideas that harden the mind to principles and ideals that are uplifting, inspiring and true? Consider renewing your own heart and mind-as a parent and a teacher-for teaching and learning Biblical principles with classic American Christian methods of education. Renewing the Mind for Teaching and Learning is a self-directed study course, returning the mind to the natural function of "teaching" and "learning." The classroom once again becomes fresh, powerful and spirit-filled. This in-depth study, a succinct overview of the basic method and philosophy of the Principle Approach®, is fundamental in preparing you to teach and leads you to a refreshing new perspective on learning and reasoning. The study teaches: Developing a philosophy of education Biblical methods of scholarship Gaining a Providential view of history The notebook method and instruction in how to use The Noah Plan Principle Approach curriculum. Begin the study today, and renew your mind so that the "causes of all life and learning can be viewed through a Biblical lens."
