RESOURCE ORDER LIST
APRIL 2001
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hello Hope Chest readers!
There isnt room in the regular newsletter for a description of all of
the resources we are now offering, so here it is! If you plan on
ordering, please check with me by e-mail to be sure I still
have it in stock. If I have just sold out of a title, I can always
reprint
my own books or reorder Cindy Rushton's if I have a little extra notice!
I also offer a discount of $1 off of each resource when you order
three or more titles.
**** NEW! ****
By the request of many of our readers, I am making available the
tape of my speech "Nurturing Naomi: How to Help Yourself or
Someone Else Overcome Discouragement" which I presented
for our support group earlier this month. I sent the basic text
for this in the last issue, but there are things in the tape that
were not in the newsletter since I adlibbed a good bit. (Is that why
it is 30 minutes long instead of the 20 minutes it was supposed
to be?!?)
If you order just the tape, send $3, which includes postage.
If you order anything else list here, I will send the tape for free!
**** COMING SOON! ****
If there is enough interest, I will soon be compiling volume 4
of the Best of the Hope Chest (issues 31-40). Let me know
if you would like to order this so I can print enough of them!
It will be $10, just like the other volumes.
Volume 4 has these topics in it:
Just for Fun, Interviews (Christine Field, Joyce McPherson,
Timberdoodle, Dr. Jay Wile,), Science, Choosing Curriculum,
Resource Reviews, American Heritage, Government,
Australia, the Olympics, Health, Handling the Tough
Times & Transitions, Poetry, Unit Studies, Thankfulness,
Christmas, Old and New, and more.
Also, in the next few days I will be ordering a supply of Cindy
Rushton's new book Inspiring Our Children Toward Greatness
Using Great Literature (subtitled Using Literature Based Learning
As The Foundation of Your Homeschool). Here is part of Cindy's
description of this book: "Want to be inspired to use literature as
the foundation of your Homeschool? This book will set your heart
