Skeet Savage is the Founder of Wisdom’s Gate, Editor of Home School Digest, An Encouraging Word, and Brush Arbor Quarterly. She is the author of the book, Homeschooling for Eternity, and is a powerful inspirational/motivational speaker. Skeet also makes occasional guest appearances with various radio, newspaper, TV and magazines including a feature in TIME Magazine.

In the 1970s Skeet began homeschooling and successfully home educated six children against numerous odds. In the face of court battles, social service visits, and the threat of having children removed from the home for being “truant,” she stood firm and helped to pave the way for the modern homeschool movement.

In the late 1980s Skeet came to know Jesus as Lord and now travels and speaks for His glory at events from coast to coast. Her ability to connect with her audience on a heart level and quickly build rapport makes her an effective speaker. Skeet minis­ters empathetically to those facing difficult obstacles such as home­schooling in the face of opposition, domestic violence, poverty, dyslexia, and serious health problems because she has walked through those trials herself and came through a victor, not a victim. Her powerful messages are built consistently on a strong, Biblical foundation and delivered in her warm, down-to-earth (and often humorous) style.

Skeet’s hard-hitting, no-compromise approach is seasoned with the wisdom of age and the love of the Lord that draws people to open their hearts and receive the convicting messages she brings. Wherever she has been called to speak, the Holy Spirit has used Skeet’s messages to bring many out of their double-mindedness and into full surrender to His will, a deeper understanding of His Word and His Ways, and a closer walk with Him. Her ministry goes beyond a message delivered from the stage. As she talks with moms who are discouraged, prays with parents who are struggling, encourages a timid young couple, or counsels a frustrated teenager, she is a conduit of hope–a vessel overflowing with God’s love and the light of His truth.

PLUS, you won’t want to miss the goings on at cmomb during the entire month of October! We will have drawings throughout the month for some great prizes that were donated by generous sponsors… just for this event! Watch for future news!

by Cynthia Carrier

The Blues. The Blahs. Discouragement, Despair, Depression. Whatever you happen to call those feelings, we all experience them at one time or another.

Do the practical things, and then get to the root of your emotional struggles by focusing on God and His Word. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood–and the battle is ultimately the Lord’s.

Growing to be Like Jesus
A Color & Learn Activity Book
by Cynthia Carrier

This 54-page Color & Learn Activity ebook is a perfect first step for your little ones!

Designed by a homeschooling Mom of 6 children (and former preschool teacher), this coloring book invites children to learn more about the truths of God’s Word by focusing on twelve key character traits: faith, surrender, love, faithfulness, wisdom, self-control, righteousness, holiness, humility, diligence, generosity, and praise. There are four coloring pages for each trait, which include a Bible verse and a simple affirmation so that children can apply God’s Word in practical ways to their own lives.

Also included is a short letter to children, explaining to them how God wants us to grow to be more like Jesus each and every day. You’ll also find a Character Training Dictionary for parents, with definitions and Bible verses for study that will help parents and children alike to grow in the twelve character traits covered in the coloring book.

A Play What You Mean Activities eBook
By JoJo Tabares of Art of Eloquence

Children love to play and play is how the Lord intended young children to learn. It is through play that children learn best. The more fun and entertaining something is, the more a child will be willing to learn and the more the child will retain.

This eBook is designed to help parents foster communication skills in young children. Some of these are blasts from the past (with new variations), games that I played as a child…only I didn’t know what they were teaching me! In today’s techie society, our children have lost touch with these old fashioned games that taught so much about life. I bring them back to your memory and tell you what communication skills they teach.

Cmomb’s Anniversary Chat

A few boxes ago, as I opened them, I noticed the cover was darker than normal.  I also observed the spine has a photo of Debi and Michael, which the other copies did not.  So I flipped open to the printing information and it read like this:

First Printing: December 2004 – 30,000
Second Printing: March 2005 – 30,000
Third Printing (revised): May 2005 – 30,000

When I emailed them, this is what they said:

“The revisions are minor. I think there was a couple of scriptures that were listed wrong and she added a couple of sentences to clarify the head covering controversy and some other minor misspellings and grammar changes. Nothing major but enough for the Library of Congress to force us to call it a revision.”

Revised Created book?

Abby now has her second tooth and is trying to crawl.  She doesn’t quite have it, but close!

The ladies at www.cmomb.com and I are going through the Created To Be His Helpmeet by Debi Pearl.  This book has been such a blessing and confirmed things in my marriage, as well as gently nudged me on to improving other areas of my life.
