I knew there would be the Christian overtones in a book like this. It is pretty much a given when you hear "family of 12 and homeschool" in the same sentence. I was not prepared for the you-aren't-preparing-your-child-for-life-if-you-aren't-forcing-religious-doctrine-down-their-throat- Christian overtones. (Note: According to the Hardings, your child will most likely be evil if they don't 'let our lord jesus christ into their heart.) Nor was I prepared for the 'back door' method of getting your 12 year old child into college. I got the impression that this family was proud of their scheming to trick colleges into letting their kids go to school there. I don't want to fudge my child's transcripts to get them into college faster. I don't want to lie and trick colleges into letting my child take classes. Doesn't seem very Christian if you ask me. Unless you are looking for 'back door' methods of pushing your child to go to college I would not recommend this book. There is no good information for homeschooling, at least nothing that you can't get online or from normal common sense. Not having children of my own it is very hard to say what is the right or wrong way to educate your child. If it works for your family then great. If everything that was stated in the book is true then it worked very well for this family and I hope it continues to work with the rest of their children. What is important today is having your child get the best education possible so they have the chance to have a career that will allow them to be independent.
2014- Imagine the Duggars wrote a book. Oh, and sent all their kids to college at age 12 or so.

Very interesting. I wish this book would have been available 10 years ago.

Interesting premise, but not enough concrete information.
