More Information
Education: Does God Have an Opinion? is a Scriptural guide designed to help you disciple and educate your children in agreement with God’s Word. Many Christians believe God doesn’t care about how children are schooled or the methods of education that are employed. This book uses the Bible to prove otherwise.
Author and speaker, Israel Wayne, faithfully applies the teaching of Scripture to the issue of education to see what God has to say about this vital topic. Within these pages, Christian parents will find a truly biblical philosophy of education and learn to strategically and systematically apply it to core subjects.
There is almost no topic that is as relevant to the future of Christianity or as controversial as the education of children. Students in school classrooms spend thousands of hours being instructed by people who are not their parents. Truths about God, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the inerrancy of the Bible are most often stripped from the curricula used to teach them. The anti-God misinformation campaign of public schools works directly against the faith you are responsible to build into your children’s lives through discipleship. There is almost no way to calculate the power and influence this has on your family and their eternity.
The future of your child’s education and, therefore, his or her life is ultimately in your hands as a parent. Education: Does God Have an Opinion? will give you discernment helping you understand how the One True God sees the issue of education.
Christian homeschooling families call Education: Does God Have an Opinion? a “must read” and report that it has helped them:
- Formulate a vision for their family’s home education
- Have a biblical defense for their decision to homeschool
- Adhere to God’s way and not the world’s way of raising their children
- Stay true to their convictions as the primary disciples of their children
Customer Reviews
Israel Wayne is an author, speaker, Homeschool Dad, and was a homeschooled student.
This is a wonderful book. Anyone with children should read this. It will open your eyes to education and the impact it has on your child. Everything they learn impacts them. Mr. Wayne clearly shows what the Bible says about a parent's role in their child's education. He shows how important it is to have God in every subject you use. God should not be a subject......He should be part of every subject because He is part of everything!
Mr. Wayne does not shy away from controversial topics about education. He sheds God's light on them. I appreciate how he backs up what he says with biblical references.
Through this book, you will learn why you need to teach your children from a biblical worldview no matter what their age.
Can your child answer this question: "Is the Bible true?" Through biblical education, they will be equipped to answer YES to that question with confidence and information to back up their answer.
I highly recommend this book to all parents. Read it yourself. Give extra copies to your friends.
In addition, it’s such a blessing that it’s joe available in audiobook form. It makes it possible for me to finally listen to it since reading is not always possible due to my busy season of life right now.
Wonderful book! I highly recommend!!!
In the first section of the book, he traces the history of government schooling and its flagrant anti-God agendas and philosophies, providing a compelling argument for why it is more important than ever for parents to instruct their children at home with a solid biblical worldview.
The second part of the book shows us how to look for the precept, principle, and Person in each academic discipline. It’s a reminder that we are to know God so we can imitate Him, and each of the academic disciplines actually teaches us more about God as revealed in His Word and creation. There truly is no neutral in education: it either glorifies God or man. This was my favorite part of the book and something I wish I had understood as a student. It truly makes “school” come alive and gives it so much greater worth and meaning!
This quote sums up the passion I feel after reading this book: “Do your children realize that everything they are learning in the process of homeschooling is to prepare them to reflect the goodness of God by loving and serving others? Do they realize that they need to apply themselves to doing the best that they can in every endeavor because they represent Christ (see Eccles. 9:10 and Col. 3:23–24)? Do they know that academic study is more than an abstract practice of rote memorization of facts and information? Do they realize that every subject area teaches them something about the nature and character of the God who made each academic discipline? Do they see that they are preparing themselves now for a life of service and ministry to others through whatever professional career they may choose? In other words, are you imparting to your children that the daily lessons they are learning now are fitting and equipping them for a grand life-mission, reaching out far beyond themselves?”
I have read and highlighted my book multiple times. We keep extras on hand to loan or give away. But as much as I enjoy the printed volume, having it available in audio format is wonderful as it gives me an opportunity to review while working in the kitchen, doing laundry, etc. It’s an excellent reminder of why we are doing what we are doing, and helps me keep my priorities in focus.
I truly appreciate the portion where the author breaks down each subject and shows that none of them are neutral. If we are to train up our children in a godly fashion, we’d be wise to seek out what God’s Word says about it, and this book is a call to do that very thing.
The summary of events that led the education system to where it is today were very helpful in under the predicament it is in today. Understanding the history is vital to preventing a repeat and stopping the progression of unbiblical teachings from influencing our families. Types of government and how they affect education of children are also covered, which is very helpful as a refresher.
This is a purposeful book that I highly recommend to all families with school-aged children. Topics such as peer influence, government overreach, socialization, and more are discussed in-depth. This is a great gift for new homeschoolers. The audiobook version is a treat for busy parents on the go. I love to listen when I’m in the car, taking a walk, or doing laundry. Thank you, Mr. Wayne, for investing so much into families through resources like these.
