Buy Now: $16.00

The right of parents to choose the kind of education their childrenreceive is guaranteed by a number of international human rightsconventions. However, the scope of these rights is disputed. One ofthe most controversial areas is that of homeschooling: the right ofthe parent to carry out a child's education under his or her ownsupervision. This right exists in France, the United Kingdom, everyAmerican jurisdiction, and most English speaking countries, but isnot recognized (except under very limited circumstances) in Germanyand in Sweden. In this book, specialists in American, German, andEuropean human rights law examine the questions underlying thephilosophical and legal justification (or non-justification) ofhomeschooling in modern society.

Give Them Grace
Buy Now: $14.99

All of us want to raise good kids. And we want to be goodparents. But what exactly do we mean by "good?" And is "being good"really the point?

Mother-daughter team Elyse Fitzpatrick and Jessica Thompsoncontend that every way we try to make our kids "good" is simply anextension of Old Testament Law--a set of standards that is not onlyunable to save our children, but also powerless to change them.

No, rules are not the answer. What they need is GRACE.

We must tell our kids of the grace-giving God who freelyadopts rebels and transforms them into loving sons and daughters.If this is not the message your children hear, if you are justtelling them to "be good," then the gospel needs to transform yourparenting too.

Give Them Grace is a revolutionary perspective on parentingthat shows us how to receive the gospel afresh and give grace inabundance, helping our children know the dazzling love of Jesus andrespond with heartfelt obedience.
