Wisdom: An Internet Linked Unit Study

Is your homeschooling on the right path? Are you reaching for the right goal? It does not matter how hard you try or how diligent you are if you don’t have the right directions. You would still be lost! Suppose you wanted to go to a city in Texas but you were given a map to Florida mislabeled Texas? Following the directions would not work even if you changed your tried harder, or increased your speed. You would still be lost! The problem is not your attitude or effort. The problem is you have the wrong map.

Many homeschoolers are following the wrong map on their homeschool journey. They follow the state standards, curriculum scope and sequence or SAT benchmarks. This unique unit study is a map to TRUE Wisdom. A map is not a territory it is explanation of certain aspects of a territory. In this study you will learn that true wisdom is understanding and knowing God. The moment we understand and know God--we begin to see His holiness--we see His purposes, His love for men; we know who God is, so there's never any hesitation to obey Him. By following this map to Wisdom you and your students will learn:

This study is one of the most important things
you will ever do with your children!

Get on the Right Path, NOW!

There are two ways to live life wisely or unwise. When we follow the path of wisdom the results are joy, peace, contentment, confidence and in the presence of God. The results of living unwisely are conflict, discouragement, disappointment, dissolution, and discontentment. Can you see this information is more important than any academics? The Bible views man as a unified whole never separating academic learning from spiritual wisdom.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:15-17.

According to Proverbs, the wise man has length of days and long life and peace and prosperity. God desires that we walk wisely so we can become the persons He created us to be and accomplish the work He has called us to do.

Wisdom Unit Study Comments and Reviews

Everyone I talk to tells what a bargain Heart of Wisdom studies are. My goodness, in Wisdom alone I have downloaded enough web sites to be well worth purchasing a book that cost $40-50, rather than the $15 you sell this at. We are loving the Wisdom just as much as the Creation, which was also worth its weight in gold. —Kathy Kin, Family Bookshelf

We started the Wisdom Unit about a month ago...my daughters are 15 and 17. Since we started using Heart of Wisdom several years ago guess who's learned the most? That would be me!!! Yes, my girls have learned much, too, but I am mostly convinced that God brought HOW into our lives to teach me and the Wisdom Unit is no exception. It's not that I didn't learn any of what's in
there before, but it is so well-organized and in-depth that I am re-learning and being added to with its content. Plus, it is so timely with all the major (and minor) decisions in our lives this year. I am working ahead in the unit on my own and so appreciating its input in my life. It is an amazing Unit Study and I am so thankful for its part in "our" curriculum.

I can't tell you what a blessing the Wisdom Unit Study has been to our family. Its just what we needed to get back on track. We had drifted from our original goal to teach our children God's ways. Our focus switched to academics, logic and Latin --of all things! The children really enjoy the lessons and look forward to them. We've all really enjoyed Bible tidbits you link to on the Internet. I feel like I am now following God's way and the burden has been lifted! It is true His burden is light. When I stopped pursuing the world and got the right focus, school became much easier. God bless your work. —Maria

I was thrilled to find the Wisdom Unit Study. It was what we needed to set our priorities straight and get back in balance. Thank you so much for your had work. We love the links and the writing helps! --Debbie Thomas

What about socialization? Is it legal? How do I choose materials? How do I get started? Are parents qualified? What about college? What about difficult subjects like chemistry and algebra? What about report cards and grades? How much time does it take? How do I know if I'm doing enough? How do I motivate my child? Shouldn't I leave my child in school to be a Christian witness? What's wrong with textbooks? What are all these teaching approaches? How do homeschooled students score academically and socially?
