Have you ever purchased a book and then completely forgot to read it? I have.

After attending the Teach Then Diligently Convention I am determined to finally finish Educating the Wholehearted Child by Clay and Sally Clarkson. And this summer is just the time to do it. It will be the perfect end of the school year reading. Not only will it help me to remember why I’m homeschooling, but it will hopefully rejuvenate me as I forge ahead to the next school year.
Do you want to join me? To make it even more interesting I thought I’d host a little informal book study on our Facebook page. Just like our Facebook page to join in.
I will also be adding my thoughts in a blog post on my personal blog for those of you that would rather participate that way.
The Plan
Every Friday morning I will create a post for the chapter read and pin it to the top of our Facebook page. Once you've finished reading come on over and let us know what stood out, things you want to put into action, something that inspired or convicted you. The goal will be to have the first chapter read by Friday May 31st, but that chapter discussion thread will be up until the following Friday, so come when you can.
If we start next week and do a chapter a week then we will have 14 chapters completed by the end of August. The last 4 we can complete in September. (I realize some of us may start getting really busy by that time.)
The Schedule
I know this is short notice for those of you who don’t have the book, but just jump ahead if need be. If you can, do the free trail of Amazon Prime then you'll get it in 2 days with free shipping. Even if you can’t follow with these dates, come back to the discussion and share your ideas. I’d love to hear them.
Here’s dates…
