God is utterly other than us – other in a way we express with the word holiness. Yes, He dwells within each Christian, but He’s not you. He isn’t the same as you, He isn’t a part of you, and He isn’t a “higher” you. Yes, you’re made in His image, but you’re not Him. You’re not the same as Him, you’re not part of Him, and you aren’t a “splinter” of Him – nor will you ever be. He doesn’t depend on anything else because He is what everything else depends on. He can’t be explained by anything else because He is what everything else must be explained by. Although we can know what He has taught us about Himself, we can never comprehend Him completely because He is greater than our minds. Anything He wills, He can do. He not only holds supreme power but He also uses it. Nothing can defeat Him and nothing can happen contrary to His will. He is also supremely good – light with no darkness. Although evil is real, He detests it and bring it to judgment. He knows everything, He pays attention to everything, and nothing escapes His notice. He’s not just a What and a Who, like me or like you, but one What in three Whos – one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. There is no one like Him. He is set apart. He is what He is, and there was never a time when He was not.

Hello Hope Chest friends!

 

It's that time of year again!  Each July or August, I do a new print run of my three books, The Learner's Journal lesson planner and resource log, The Real Life Home School Mom, and Common Sense Excellence: Faith-Filled Home Education for Preschool to 5th Grade.  I am planning to do take them to the printer in about two weeks, to be ready for shipping the first week of August. Since I am a home school mom and not a big business, I like to keep my inventory low and only order from my printer a little more than I need right away.  Please e-mail me by Friday, July 25 to let me know which books you would like to order, including the titles, quantities, colors (for the Learner's Journal) and your estimated total with shipping. 

 

BOOK DESCRIPTIONS, LINKS  & REVIEWS 

 

The Learner's Journal is a practical lesson planner and resource log used by hundreds of home school students over the past eight years.  You will need one copy per child.   Color choices are red, blue, yellow, pink, green, or ivory. As always, profits from The Learner's Journals will be sent to Malawi for the ministry of native church planter Pastor Headson Makazinga.  It is $10 per copy.

The Real Life Home School Mom: It's a Life in ReVision addresses the emotional, spiritual and logistical aspects of home school, though it does cover academics as they relate to these topics.  This is a book for moms who want to thrive and not just survive the home schooling years!   Since I have learned so much and gained new vision since I orginally published the book in 2000, I did a major rewrite and expansion of this book last year. This is reflected in the new subtitle: "It's a Life in ReVision."   This new expanded version (over 175 full-size pages) is $18 per copy.  To read the introduction and chapter summaries, click here:  http://www.virginiaknowles.com/thereallifehomeschoolmom

Common Sense Excellence: Faith-Filled Home Education for Preschool to 5th Grade, a comprehensive subject by subject teaching guide with over 240 pages, is $20 per copy.   I also revised and updated this book last year.

   ORDERING

 

Shipping in the U.S. is 10% with a minimum of $2.50.   If you live in outside of the U.S., please e-mail me so I can calculate the shipping charge based on your order.  

 

Ordering just one book in the U.S.?  Here are the simple totals...

The Real Life Home School Mom:  $18 book  + $2.50 shipping = $20.50    <OR>    $21.93 in Florida ($1.43 sales tax)

 

Common Sense Excellence: $20 book + $2.50 shipping = $22.50    <OR>    $24.08 in Florida ($1.58 sales tax)

 

Learner's Journal: $10 book + $2.50 shipping = $12.50    <OR>    $13.36 in Florida ($0.86 sales tax)

If you order 3 or more copies of any combination of books, you can take a $1 discount per book.   Here is an example of a quantity discount for 4 books:  If you order 2 Learner's Journals, The Real Life Home School Mom and Common Sense Excellence, the amount would be $9 + $9 + $17 + $19 = $54 plus $5.40 shipping for a total of $59.40.   

 

Wholesale prices are also available for orders of 15 books or more.   Ask for information! 

 

I would prefer orders by check sent in the mail.  Make the check out to Virginia Knowles and send to 1925 Blossom Lane, Maitland, FL, 32751.  If you would rather order by PayPal, please e-mail me for more information. Either way, please e-mail me a preliminary order right away so I can get a count of what I need to have printed.

  

Let me know if you have any questions about the books or the ordering process!

 

Blessings,

Virginia Knowles
