Handpicked Christian Book Bundles for your Homeschool

Can you judge a book by its cover? Not always. Books labeled as living books, family-friendly, Classic, or even Christian might check certain boxes, but a vague bookstore label will never compare to handpicked Christian book bundles. A catchy title might appear to be the perfect homeschool addition at first glance, but once your child begins to dive into the content, the end result might be that she is engrossed in a book completely contrary to your family’s worldview. While a book with a contrary worldview might work occasionally with careful supervision for a specific purpose, it is not ideal for leisure reading.

Filling Your Bookshelves

Christian homeschooling families seeking to create an enriching book collection aligning with their worldview have several options when it comes to creating a trustworthy home library. Although public libraries have been a rich resource for homeschoolers in the past, specific agendas now often need to be sifted through while browsing their resources. Instead of weeding through books with these agendas, parents can access vetted, handpicked Christian book bundles.         

Begin filling your homeschool bookshelves with books by authors found in Christian homeschool catalogs, magazines, and Christian bookstores. These books have been handpicked by trusted publishers and can be narrowed down to help you decide if any of them are a good fit for your family. Families also have the option to join a family book club for exclusive savings to grow their homeschool book collection. Family book clubs allow homeschooling families to order Christian fiction bundles at an affordable rate over an extended period of time.

Does My Homeschool Need a Physical Book Collection?

In our digital world of unlimited educational content, are physical books actually needed? The main difference between digital content and physical content is that physical books cannot be changed or altered. Some public school systems have completely eliminated textbooks. Each textbook used to be vetted for accuracy by experts in its field. Now, new content, including various agendas, can be added to digital content for student consumption immediately. Physical books on your shelves that you or those whom you trust have vetted cannot suddenly be changed. 

Another benefit is that you will have content on hand to help on days or periods of time when the internet is not available. Whether it is a snow day, an extended power outage, or a sabbath day rest from devices, plenty of books are available. Some families prefer not to have devices available during certain times of the day. Having a high-quality Christian book collection in your home can be a great way to encourage traditional reading in your homeschool. 

FAQs

How Can I Support Christian Authors?

Sign up for his newsletter, follow him on social media, or leave a review of your favorite book(s) on Amazon and Goodreads. All of these seemingly small actions help authors grow and sustain their platforms and readership, providing families with continuous content online and in Christian bookstores. 

What If I Am Disappointed with a Book Choice?

Every Christian home has unique preferences and convictions. If a book that has been approved by other Christian families does not align with your personal views, let the publisher or book club organizer know. Though every company’s refund/exchange policy differs, be sure to reach out so they are aware that there is a concern, so they can consider how to move forward.

Can I Create My Own Handpicked Christian Book Bundles?

Absolutely! Used curriculum sales, local library book sales, thrift stores, and yard sales often have books donated by homeschooling families and former teachers. If you are willing to spend the time sifting through books of varying worldviews, this is an option. 

Who Else Can Benefit From Christian Book Bundles?

Consider purchasing handpicked Christian book bundles for your church’s library, a local Christian school, a nearby Little Free Library, or to give as gifts for family and friends.
