I was going to ask for help finding a thread, but then I remembered the topic, 'Encouraged by HOD philosophy'. Julie replied and told about how Carrie has been asked to write guides without the Bible. She explained the HOD ministry and that the Austins would not leave the Bible out of their guides, even though they could make a lot of money by doing that.
I wanted to share that with dh, so he can see how HOD has been written to minister to families and is just not another curriculum. When I was looking at dd's math book last evening, I opened the guide and said 'Carrie says .........' and proceeded to read her instructions on that math activity. Dh asked, 'Who's Carrie?." (I know I've mentioned her name before

) I said she is the one who writes the HOD guides. He says, 'So, you're on a first name basis?' I explained how she responds on this board. (He knows I'm on this board quite often) I told him how we've all become friends on here. She doesn't do it just because we bought her guides.

I just thought it would be good for him to see this. He lets the homeschooling to me, so he is sort of 'out of the loop'. I want him to see how HOD is working differently than other things we have used. He doesn't understand CM, but I know he will be impressed knowing that the Austins are reaching out to minister to families through these guides.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. III John 4
