There is a troubling trend showing up among some of the "homeschool crowd." Their children are discontent and rebellious, jumping ship as soon as they think they can survive without the family—some as young as sixteen years old. Parents are crying, "Where did we go wrong? What can we do to prevent this from happening to the rest of our children?"
Michael Pearl addressed this issue in a series of articles published in 2006 in the No Greater Joy magazine. The articles proved so popular and helpful that Michael edited them further and compiled them into this book, along with new material and an additional two chapters covering further issues.
Michael Pearl, founder and director of No Greater Joy Ministries, has written on child training and family issues for many years. He has ministered to three generations, watching them grow from children to parents themselves. He and his wife Debi were among the pioneers in the homeschooling movement.
