New items

Grief & Grace 350g $25.30 ($23)
The sudden loss of someone very near - one of those time-warping watershed moments that change everything and make the world feel unfamiliar and unnatural - how does one go on? One of the hardest things about grieving is that life DOES go on! Yet the griever is too numb with emotion to do mundane things...

If you have ever grieved, you will identify with this book. If any of your friends go through such a loss, this book will help you to help them. We will probably all need it at some time in our lives.

Amanda Axelby lost a full-term babe unexpectedly and decided to write this book to fill a gap. Not only is it Australian (covering for example, Australian burial practices) and Christian (heaps of excellent Scriptural comfort), but it also includes how to home educate in a time of desperate grieving.

Caring Christians need to be aware of encouraging things to say to grieving people, in order to avoid being hurtful by either avoiding them or discouraging through well-meant but poorly thought out responses.

Highly commended.

Jumping Ship 300g $11 ($10) Pearl
Michael Pearl identifies a troubling trend showing up within the home education movement - children are discontented and rebellious, jumping ship as soon as they think they can survive without the family. How can you be sure your children are actually embracing the values you teach?

Addition Songs Cassette 150g Usual price $22 ($20) Troxel

Kit includes a book with the song words and some pages of written practice.

Division Songs Cassette 150g Usual price $22 ($20) Troxel
