USAR Ret), founder and president of Frontline Ministries, Inc., director of Exodus Mandate, chairman emeritus of the Christian Education Initiative, chairman of Public School Exit, executive producer of the award-winning film IndoctriNation: Public Schools and the Decline of Christianity, script writer and executive producer of the film Escaping Common Core: Setting Our Children Free, and author of Let My Children Go and The Promise of Jonadab: Building a Christian Family Legacy in a Time of Cultural Decline “Most people acknowledge that American education has been deeply troubling lately, harming generations of children and jeopardizing their future prospects.

PARENTS’ GUIDE TO HOMESCHOOL takes the excuse ‘I can’t do it’ off the table… will lead you through every step of educating your children. Doug Wilson, educator of educators, once said, ‘Education is the hinge which gets one generation to the next, for better or for worse.’ Sorbo’s new book truly is the hinge which will make your next generation better… should be found and used in the home of every Christian family in America, and everywhere else.” —DAN SMITHWICH, founder and president of the Nehemiah Institute and recipient of the Verna Marie Hall Research Award “Ultimately, homeschooling is parenting, and as parents we have an incredible responsibility to raise this next generation to follow Jesus, be responsible citizens, and fulfill their God-given purpose in this world. PARENTS’ GUIDE TO HOMESCHOOL helps put us on track to do just that. Sam Sorbo introduces this book with a reminder of Ephesians 6:14-15, in which the Apostle Paul admonishes us to stand firm with the belt of Truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and the readiness that comes from the Gospel! It's incredibly difficult to equip our children with these traits if they're being raised by secular institutions that teach them everything contrary to the truth of God's Word. As a veteran homeschool mom who's graduated all of her children, Sorbo's experience comes to life in this new book. Her passion for family, faith, and freedom is evident and she offers practical ways to homeschool with confidence. I’m certain this book will be a powerful resource for both new and veteran homeschool families alike.” —YVETTE HAMPTON, homeschool mom, and producer and host of Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution, and host of the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast “It is my pleasure to endorse this valuable, practical, and accessible guide to the most important movement of our generation – home education! This is the revolution that is necessary to save our families, our nation, and the church, and Sam is the clear voice that is needed to guide parents to victory. It is all too easy to look at leaders and only recognize their public faces. With Sam, what is immediately apparent is her courage, wisdom, and commitment to speaking the truth. While these traits alone are admirable, there is so much more to Sam that perfectly qualifies her to write on home education and to encourage families on this critical journey. By God’s grace, I have had the privilege of getting to know Sam—and her family—well enough to speak to these qualifications, and I do so without hesitation. In the years I have known Sam, what I have learned is that her primary motivation is love. Love for her own family led her to homeschool her children. Love for your family and your children is what led her to write this book. Sam's approach to home education is not only practical but also deeply compassionate, making the process both accessible and enjoyable for parents and children alike. Her dedication to providing honest – sometimes even brutally honest—straightforward advice is a testament to her integrity and passion for helping families succeed in their homeschooling journey. And she’s been there! I highly recommend this PARENTS’ GUIDE TO HOMESCHOOL to anyone looking to embark on or revive their homeschooling journey. Sam Sorbo's wisdom, courage, experience, and LOVE make this guide an essential addition to your educational toolkit.” —GARRITT HAMPTON, director of Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution, producer of the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast and Homeschool Insights Podcast.
