Wisdom's 7 Pillars:
Creation - Design & Order

Biblical Foundations & Rudiments of Design

Our favorite resource for laying the foundation of all subjects is A Guide to American Christian Education for the Home and School by James Rose. You'll see this work recommended over and over in our Rudiments sections. It is a great resource, very highly recommended, to gain an understanding of the Biblical Foundations and Rudiments of many subjects. This is the resource for gaining the Big Picture in God's plan for each area of learning. It does not have as thorough of an overview of the Sciences as some of the other subjects, but does have a section on, an American Christian Approach to Natural Science and Human Anatomy/Physiology.

Encyclopedia of Bible Truths by Ruth Haycock has finally been republished! We have used and recommended this from the beginning, when it was 4 individual volumes. then it went to a single, all-in-one book, and now is back in 4 volumes again. These books are like a Topical Bible for school subjects, giving Biblical concepts (principles) and related verses for various content areas within each subject. The four volumes are: Lanugage Arts/English, Social Studies, Science/Mathematics, and Fine Arts/Health, and there is a slight discount for buying the 4 Volume Set. This is the resource for relating every area of learning to the Bible.
