"Sonlight offers many captivating and delightful books to its programs that keep the attention of my boys," writes Lisa W of Minnesota City, MN. "After the long, cold winters in Minnesota, we like to read outside in the spring. Along with our dogs, Misty and Sierra, and friendly chicken, Vanilla, my teenage boys still enjoy Read-Aloud time with Mom. The book I'm reading, God's Smuggler, is especially dear to my heart, as I served on an overseas mission trip in college to China with Open Doors Ministry. I feel privileged to share this personal experience with my boys as I read the story of Brother Andrew, who started Open Doors. Although homeschooling has its challenges, I cherish the time I get to spend with my boys, and Sonlight helps make that possible!"

Here, Joshua (13), Josiah (16) and  Lisa read God's Smuggler on the deck outside. They are using HBL H and 200 in their 11th year Sonlighting.

Sonlight's lesson plans, study guides and teacher helps saved our homeschool. After our first year of patchworking together a curriculum, my husband said, 'If this is what homeschooling will require of you, we won't be continuing!' Then a friend introduced us to Sonlight while we were on furlough from the mission field and we fell in love with it. No more patchwork – Sonlight saved my sanity! Three high school graduates later (with three more to go), we're STILL loving Sonlight. In the family's twelfth year of Sonlight study, Deborah (13, Core G) enjoys a good read in the strawberry patch.

"Sonlight is helping us cultivate loving ambassadors for Christ," writes Tanya S of Asia. "Sonlight's stories of world cultures help our children embrace the unique calling God has placed in their lives. The books give honor and credibility to our family's work as overseas gospel workers. Through her readings, my preschooler is learning to see beauty and value in the unique qualities of all people. I see it in her actions and hear it in her prayers. It's such a relief knowing I can trust Sonlight's materials and content to be appropriate and Christ-centered. Being well organized, beautifully illustrated and infectiously fun is just icing on the cake!" Naomi (4) and Keira (2) are exploring Core P4/5 in their first year of homeschooling. They love to share their Sonlight books with Jiajia (5) and other local friends.
