Schoolhouse Publishing is pleased and excited to announce we are carrying Chuck Black books - and at an amazing discount!  These allegories teach godly character, the adventure captures the imaginations of all ages, and the action keeps teenagers engrossed from cover to cover...even non-readers! They are GREAT read-alouds!  Deep symbolism with an action story makes excellent reading for ages 8 to adult.   Author Chuck Black says, "When my six kids' eyes glossed over during a reading from the Bible, I paused to explain the significance of redemption to a sin-sick soul. I was rewarded with patronizing elephant nods and more blank stares. Shortly thereafter, I awoke in the middle of the night with a medieval story enveloping my mind. I wrote it down and later read it to my children. Their waning attention transformed into complete anticipation. I was amazed and disappointed. Why did it take a fictional story, not a Bible passage, to get that response? Then I realized--that is how Jesus taught! Parables are powerful! I penned the Kingdom series to help young people get excited about the supremely significant story of Jesus Christ and His mission to save mankind." 

The Kingdom Series novels and the Knights of Arrethtrea are biblical allegories that are set in a medieval time period. They are full of action and adventure where swords, knights, and battles are all biblically symbolic. The characters portray courage, loyalty, discipline, and honor. There is no magic, wizardry, or mysticism in the Kingdom Series.

Purchase individual titles at 20% off retail or complete sets at 25% off retail!

Schoolhouse Publishing is heading to Ohio! We'll have a HUGE store at the GHC Midwest convention, April 4-6, with all your favorite curriculum and literature at the best prices around! Not only that, but you can meet and talk to Featured Speaker Susan Kemmerer AND Featured Speaker Larry Schweikert at the Schoolhouse Publishing booth! Both of these popular authors/speakers will be signing books and available to chat with you only at Schoolhouse Publishing at GHC Cincinnati!

Also, you'll get an awesome reuseable shopping bag, free with any purchase at Schoolhouse Publishing. These shopping bags are BIG - and cute: purple with yellow sunflowers.

For great homeschool articles and product reviews, be sure to bring your Schoolhouse Publishing Magalog with you to the convention. If you don't have a magalog, you can download one from our home page or sign up on our mailing list. (By the way, we know how busy you are, so we don't inundate you with mail - just 2 mailings per year - and we don't give or sell our list to anyone.)

If you aren't familiar with us, we're a homeschooling family just like you.  We've been homeschooling for nearly a quarter century, and know what you're experiencing.  We have experience and have used just about every curriculum out there and carry over a thousand different titles.  We love to answer your questions and help you when you need it.  We're homeschooling right alongside you!

Can't wait to see you all in Cincinnati!

Introductory Offer! 25% off Apologia Student Notebooks!

Are you using Apologia General or Physical Science? Apologia textbooks are designed to get the most out of your student by deeply involving them in the learning process.

The result is an impressive science notebook to showcase all the learning your homeschooled student has accomplished. I can tell you this: Apologia General and Physical Science is fantastic! I've used these 2 texts with 7 of my children. These textbooks are designed to be self-directed and college preparatory.

For many moms, having your student create a science notebook from scratch is a daunting task. Apologia has developed these optional student notebooks to provide a framework for all your student's learning. These beautiful notebooks have lab pages, essay questions, journal pages and more, all conveniently bound in a professional-looking spiral bound notebook. Of course, if you (like me) are not a science-person, then these student notebooks will make your job so much easier!
