‘A love story and a domestic horror story’ Michael CunninghamStefan Merrill Block was nine when his mother pulled him from school in Plano, Texas, certain that his teachers were ‘stifling his creativity’. Years before homeschooling became a nationwide movement in the US, Stefan vanished from the system and into his mother’s increasingly eccentric theories and projects – including her quest to bleach her 12-year-old son’s hair to recapture his earliest years, and to make him crawl not walk. Beyond his formal lessons in maths, he was largely left to his own devices academically, leaving vast gaps in his knowledge.When, after five years away from the outside world, he re-entered the school system, he was in for a jarring awakening. At once a novelistic portrait of mother and son, and an illuminating window into an overlooked corner of the US education system, Homeschooled is a moving, funny and ultimately inspiring story of a son’s battle for a life of his own choosing, and the price of a

The Bible talks about trees more than any living creation other than people. Perhaps you've missed the forest...and the trees.In this groundbreaking walk through Scripture, former physician and carpenter Dr. Matthew Sleeth makes the convincing case why trees are essential to every Christian's understanding of God. Yet we've mostly missed how God has chosen to tell His story--and ours--through the lens of trees. There's a tree on the first page of Genesis and the last page of Revelation. The Bible refers to itself as a Tree of Life (Proverbs 3:18). Every major Biblical character has a tree associated with them. Jesus himself says he is the true vine (John 15:1). A tree was used to kill Jesus--and a tree is the only thing the Messiah ever harmed. This is no accident. When we subtract trees from Scripture, we miss lessons of faith necessary for our growth. This is the ra
