As a head’s up, I wanted to let you know that I have a book (or at least part of a book) that just came out. The title is Perspectives On Your Child’s Education. It is from B&H and Dr. Tim Jones of Southern Baptist Seminary was the editor of the book. In it four different perspectives on Christian education are defended: Christians should stay in the public schools, Christians should homeschool, Christians should send their kids to Covenantal schools (professing Christians only schools), and everyone should go to
The reason for my defense of this position begins with the nature of the Holy Trinity. God constantly reaches out in love to others. Thus, we should constantly reach out in love to those in need. We should not be content to give our children a wonderful education when the children of the poor are suffering. Until the truth of Christ, like an ocean, covers the earth, our work is not done.

If you’re a resident of the
United States of America , you are already investing in your local public school through your taxes. Materials for home-schooling can range from a few hundred extra dollars each year to several thousand. Christian school tuition in some areas exceeds ten thousand dollars per academic year. Suppose that these sums were invested in local missions, relieving financial stresses on fractured families whose children attend public schools. What impact could such investments have on thekingdom ofGod ?
