MH4's son loves these journals:
"Gorgeous and huge! One of my sons wants to do all of the Thinking Tree Christian core journals so when this went on sale I purchased one for him and it's beautiful. Love The Thinking Tree core journals! They are affordable, child lead and beautiful."
Tina shares how this book can be adapted for use as a Secular curriculum:
"I really like the introduction to various classical stories throughout this book. Although, this is an Christian Based book I feel that Secular Homeschoolers could still benefit from this book. The only Christian Pages in the book are very little. For example for the Christian Part of the book is write a bible verse which you could change to a quote. And the Bible Pictures that highlights and Bible book like John 22 and then express your thought on it if you like. The rest of the book is totally Secular. Basically what I am trying to say is that you can use the book as you see fit and omit or adjust to your liking because the Christian Feature in Book is not overdone just right."
