Marilyn invites homeschooling parents to consider the importance of the family’s home and lifestyle as the God-ordained environment for successfully imparting biblical values to children both by relational modeling and teaching.

Based on Deuteronomy 6:6-7 and Proverbs 22:6, the message of this book will delve into the surprising meaning of "to train" and encourage mom to keep her children at home with her as much as possible during childhood to provide the training environment needed for God’s work in her family.

Marilyn wisely addresses many lifestyle issues regarding common outside-the-home activities that rob parents and their children of the opportunity to develop family identity and quality purposes, build healthy family relationships, and form character toward discipleship to Christ.

Exhorting the reader to "allow the home to do what only the home can do," Marilyn provides questions for reflection and evaluation, so they can prepare a home environment for the quality growth and learning activities that will surely produce the desired fruit of children who follow after Christ.
