Weekly Giveaway: Homeschooling and Meaning

Is it cold where you are? Here are a couple of books to warm you!

This week’s giveaway:

A Little Way of Homeschooling: Thirteen Families Discover Catholic Unschooling

By Suzie Andres (2011, Hillside Education)

From the back cover:

Everyone knows that parenting is a challenge. Add in homeschooling and you face a full slate of responsibilities. If you feel anxious or worn out, why not let Jesus refresh you? In A Little Way of Homeschooling, He speaks words of peace through the stories of women who have found an easier approach to family life and learning. Spend some time with them and with St. Therese, whose Little Way is set forth in these pages. As Pope Benedict XVI explains, The way followed by her is within everyone’s reach because it is the way of total confidence in God who is Love and who never abandons us.

Whether you already homeschool, are considering it, or plan to keep your children in school, you don’t have to do it alone. This compendium of St. Therese’s doctrine and the insights of thirteen women, two saints, and three philosophers has a unique message of hope and joy for you.

The Messy Quest for Meaning: Five Catholic Practices for Finding Your Vocation

By Stephen Martin (2012, Ave Maria Press)

You may remember Stephen’s guest post during this book’s tour. It’s still on my to-read shelf, but I had an extra copy to share here!

From the back cover:

Drawing on lessons learned from Catholic monks and saints as well as his own experience, Stephen Martin offers five unique practices to help Catholics and other seekers grapple with life’s truly important questions and discover their calling in the world.
