I call these times 'Sonlight Moments' because without Sonlight I don't believe that my children would learn together like this. Maeann recruited her siblings to help with one of her chemistry labs. Here they are smiling their cheesy smiles because of the flood they are making in the kitchen. We are starting our 10th year of homeschooling, our 6th year with Sonlight. Thanks for all the wonderful books you provide for our family to learn and live with! Sonlight is such a beautiful, big part of our life. This year, Maeann (16) is studying Core 300 and Ian (13) is using Core 200, while Clara (11) and Peter (9) share Core F.

Sonlight is way more than a series of awesome books to read; it is the habit of sitting down on the sofa and digging into a good book and thoughtful conversations. These times pull our busy family together in spite of a wide variety of ages, interests and energy levels. I was hesitant to invest in a program that at first seemed like 'just books.' But the traditions and values of family time, discussion and critical thinking that our family has developed because of the encouragement I get from the Instructor's Guide is worth far more than I ever dreamed! Here, Ethan (10, Core F), Tristan (4, Core A) and Kian (7, Core F) squeeze in to hear Mom read a Sonlight favorite. They and 13-year-old Zara (Core 100) have used Sonlight since the beginning.

Sonlight united our family's hearts through the love for learning and experiencing God's heart for the nations. In the past three years the Lord took us on the journey of engaging our hearts with His heart for the people groups. Sonlight has played a pivotal part in this journey through the outstanding material and books. It is impossible not to experience God's heart for the different people groups as they come alive through the stories and pictures of the beautiful Sonlight books! When the V family went to southeastern Africa on a mission trip, they walked in the footsteps of David Livingstone and recognized many places and people groups from Cores F and H. In their third year of Sonlight, Tanya (13) is using Core H as Stefan (11) studies Core G.
