Publisher's summary

As a parent, you want to send your children into the world with healthy minds and vibrant faith. You want to develop a strong foundation for them. But in our fast-paced, outcome-based, technologically driven society, it's easy to lose sight of the innocence, potential, and uniqueness of each child. Childlike wonder can become lost in the fog of formulas that view children through the distorting lens of social expectations.

Awaking Wonder helps parents unearth the hidden potential of their child's imagination, learning capacity, and ability to engage authentically with the world.

Best-selling author Sally Clarkson will help you reach your child's heart of wonder through the principles that guided her in raising four children, all of whom made it into adulthood with a vibrant faith intact and are now flourishing in creative, high-performing professions. Listen to this book to:

  • gain confidence in your role as a God-designed guide and teacher for your children
  • help your children awaken to the wonder all around them
  • develop healthy minds that can stand up against societal norms, providing them with a life-giving education and a love for learning

Inspired

I wish I had listened to this book several years ago; if it had been available! It would have been perfect for a beginner, or even a seasoned homeschooler in need of encouragement. I was full of doubts, questions and lacking support when I started, and I ended up quitting. I regret that we stopped homeschooling. If you are looking to start on this journey or questioning if you should continue, I encourage you to read it or listen to it. It was a wonderful source of encouragement, inspiration and eye opener! Thanks for writing it!

This is a wonderful and inspiring book!

Loved it! It was delightfully filled with jewels that Mrs. Clarkson gives away daily in her podcast. Being well organized Awaking Wonder inspires me to continue some practices in our home while offering practical advice on how to add visionary ideals into our days.

Best home education and faith book I have heard!

I absolutely enjoyed and appreciated the inspiring focus of building a fortress of truth and creating rhythms of joy and diligence. I love that she helps make it seem worthwhile and possible to teach our children in faith and to be their servant leaders as Christ was to his disciples whom he taught by bringing them along through his ministry and in the organic learning opportunities that provided. Thank you “Grandma Sally” for giving generously of yourself and your wisdom and ideals. I needed this!

Loved this Book

This book has given me the confidence to homeschool the way I believe God has designed it. I appreciate everything Sally said! My only critique is that I wish she would have said it faster 😆 I had to turn the speed up because she speaks very soft and very slow 😆 besides that excellent!!!

Will listen every year!

There are a few books that I plan to listen to or read each summer before we start our homeschool. I’m adding this one to the list.

Oh Sally! She’s done it again...

If you’ve not been introduced to Sally before you are in for a treat. This book has been so encouraging and helpful for me - not having a Christian example of being a mother and not a clear picture of how, what, where to create wonder, but a great desire to do so. I love getting a clearer picture into their life and home: what it looks like to inspire and create an atmosphere of wonder. Primarily this book is scripturally grounded and Sally gives great insight and wisdom on how to create a wonder filled home that follows Jesus.

Rich Encouragement

Thank you Sally for opening up your story and letting us see the years of family life that you walked through faithfully. Your ideas and example are so helpful and encouraging. I loved hearing you personally read this, and your calm warm voice added something special to the words I know you thoughtfully crafted. As a mother just beginning the home school journey, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing what you’ve learned over the years.
