I have almost completed the homeschool course I began in February. I have begun to compile all my notes on the many books I have read for this course. As I organize my notes, I will post the points in each book that impacted me the most.
The books range from the logistics of homeschool, to training/raising children, to spiritual matters. The first book I would like to share is called 'A Time to Seek God' by Francis Frangipane.

Points that impacted me:
Maturity starts when we break the cycle of seeking God only during hardship: holiness begins the moment we seek God for himself.
God does not want us to be “normal”; He wants us Christ-like.
I need to leave the familiar to seek Him.
It is only in finding Him that we discover ourselves.
We need not pretend to be righteous. We need only to become truthful.
Our pursuit of God is not an act, but an attitude.
The areas of sin in our life are there simply because we have lived too far from Him.
If we are to truly know Him as He is, we need an Old Testament fear of the Lord combined with the New Testament experience of His grace.
Be committed to the process of surrender!
