I just wanted to drop a quick line to tell you THANK YOU for your wonderful curriculum! We homeschool 4 children and started with your 1st grade curriculum. We just finished our first time through the family cycle. We have ALL learned so much - thank you. Thanks again and may God continue to bless your work!

I am deeply grateful for the thoughtful way My Father's World guides children into a deeper knowledge and understanding of God and His Word. My kids have grown into young people who love God and His word, and desire to reach the world with God's love and truth, and this is due in a large part to the many years of discussions and life applications that came out of the My Father's World curriculum! You are also helping to raise generations of people who will impact the world for Jesus!

I just wanted to send you a quick thank you for your curriculum and the changes it has brought to our home since we started using it three years ago. Including snacks, meals, and recipes in the Teacher's Manual has helped us get a very picky eater to try new foods "because it's for school." What started out as her tentatively trying red beans and rice in Adventures, has turned into a love of food exploration and regional cuisine.

My family and I cannot thank you enough for your curriculum. I know that you have been working closely with Jesus to create such an amazing gift to homeschoolers. Your curriculum is nothing short of academic genius. I cannot imagine the time and effort you put in to create it. Your book choices alone required extensive research. It would have taken me years to find such profound reading.
