BEST book on homeschooling I’ve ever read!

Revisado: 08-26-24

I discovered this book through an interview with the author on an episode of the 1,000 Hours Outside podcast. As a homeschooling mother of three who also grew up homeschooled, I’ve been a prolific and enthusiastic reader throughout my childhood and adult life. This book is HANDS-DOWN the absolute best book I’ve ever encountered in the arena of home-education. It is incredibly well-researched and jam-packed with wisdom, insight, actionable direction, and inspiration. I have never before been able to apply what I’ve read in a book so immediately, freely, and joyously as with The Joy of Slow. My children, their learning, and our family are THRIVING through the principals shared in this fantastic book. I could not recommend it more highly. If you desire a connected, joy-filled, discovery-rich family life with children who are eager and lifelong learners, and if you too want balance, joy, and inspiration as a parent, you will love this book. I’m so happy to have discovered it!

Story grows jarringly dark and aimless

Revisado: 04-15-24

Aside from a meandering plot, there are too many profanities of all things religious or Christian. References to church, God, the Bible, crosses, etc, are darkly negative and joined to horrifically evil characters. A shock after cherishing Enger’s Peace Like a River for decades.

Incredible story, writing, & narration

This is now my top favorite book. I am an avid lifelong reader of classic literature. Outstanding masterpiece by Brown and exceptionally narrated!

My favorite book by Tamera Alexander

Revisado: 01-16-23

I love Tamera Alexander’s Timber Ridge Reflections. All three are my favorite of her books. This one is perhaps my favorite of the three in this series, though all are so wonderful. Robin Miles is my favorite narrator as well. She has an outstanding ability to portray each character’s uniqueness and depth. I especially love James. This audiobook is a treasure!

Unexpectedly frightening

Revisado: 10-28-20

Contains flight into Egypt with Herod’s murder of baby boys in frightening detail for very young listeners (my daughter is 5). I am very upset because the book will not delete from my device.

Well said!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, great presentation for a strong reality for many of our vets. Very well present by Mr. Spalding, who is a vet himself! He knows all too well what this is all about!

What was one of the most memorable moments of When We Walked Above the Clouds?

When he is depicting early training on the bus and afterwards. But really so much of it can be related to by vets. I have served the vets at the VA hospital as a doctor, and what they have been through is truly heroic, though even sometimes they may not see it that way. A lot of my family are vets or active military... thank you for your sacrifice and service!

Any additional comments?

GREAT LISTEN! Check it out!
