Take Your Homeschool Up a Notch

“Dear Terri,
I bought your book a year ago and it sure has changed my homeschooling approach. I knew I needed some fun in my homeschooling. My kids loved the games in the book. but most important to me, was to remember that God needed to be a part of my homeschool and I wasn’t letting him. I prayed about everything we studied last year. We did a civil war unit, which the kids just loved. Then I was going to study ancient Rome and prayed about it and God led me to World War II. We read the Hiding Place with it. I was worried they were a little to young to do this study, but God knew what He was doing and it was the most meaningful study we have had. I just can’t thank you enough for the book. I still use it quite often. Thank you for making my homeschool fun again.”

I read Ignite The Fire when it was first released and it is still on my shelf. Valuable information that I have referred to again and again. I have bought many home schooling books over the years and not many are still on my shelves. Ignite the Fire not only helps me to motivate my children, it helps me not to “burn out” (no pun intended). As a home school mom of 13 years with 5 children I know a keeper when I see one – put this book on your shelf.

I began homeschooling in 2000. I did a little research on the state requirements, and it seemed like the perfect fit for my then, 3rd grade daughter and I.
But after I took her out of public school, reality hit. Where do I start? What resources do I use? Help!!!
Then I found Terri’s website, through a Google search, and the rest, as they say, is history. I have long since passed my book onto a fellow homeschooler, but the lessons I learned from it were priceless.
I now homeschool my boys as well. And we do it almost entirely with free resources, as Terri suggested in her book, and on her site.
And the games! Everyone loved them the most! All around, this is a great resource for any homeschool mom, but most especially for a new homeschooler. Terri shares her ups and downs, what has worked for her and her children, and how to make your homeschool unique and successful.
Thank you Terri!

“It was a joy to hear you speak at the Niche conference. It was also a privilege that you gave me a few minutes of you time at the end of the conference when you were probably exhausted and wanting to be on you way. Since I am sure many people speak with you at conferences, perhaps it will refresh you memory if I tell you that I am the one that saved my birthday money from October to buy “Ignite the Fire”. I wanted to write and tell you how much I enjoyed your book. I have heard you speak a few times in the past and the Fire method really appealed to me. We incorporated it a bit into our school year last year but I did not fully understand how it worked.

Well, the Monday after I bought your book at the Niche conference, we took a 9 hour trip to northern Minnesota. I read “Ignite the Fire” the whole way there and the whole way home (Okay, I will be 100% honest, I did not read it the WHOLE way. We had five children in the van!). I marked it, read parts to my husband, reread parts of it, prayed, started a Fuel Book and got more and more excited as I read! My husband was intrigued by what I read to him and told him about your book.

To make a long story short, we plan on using the Fire method in our homeschool now. The Lord really confirmed to me that we are making the right choice when my Mom called and said she had two boxes of notebooks and could we possibly use them. My son and I spent Saturday getting the notebooks ready. Both older sons have already picked their personal interest notebooks (My oldest son picked US geography and American Indians. Our second son picked penguins.) I am especially excited about their Bible notebooks. Anyway, just wanted to write and tell you how the Lord used you in our lives. Thank you for taking the time to write the book.
God bless you.”
