Wisdom: An Internet-Linked Unit Study
Are you on the right path? Are you using the right map? Suppose you wanted to go to a city in Texas but you were given a map to Florida mislabeled Texas? Following the directions would not work even if you changed your tried harder, or increased your speed. You would still be lost! The problem is not your attitude or effort. The problem is you have the wrong map.
Many homeschoolers are following the wrong map on their homeschool journey. They follow the state standards, curriculum scope and sequence or SAT benchmarks. This unique unit study is a map to TRUE Wisdom.
A map is not a territory it is explanation of certain aspects of a territory. In this study you will learn that true wisdom is understanding and knowing God. The moment we understand and know God--we begin to see His holiness--we see His purposes, His love for men; we know who God is, so there's never any hesitation to obey Him.
By following this map to Wisdom you and your students will learn:
There are two ways to live life wisely or unwise. When we follow the path of wisdom the results are joy, peace, contentment, confidence and in the presence of God. The results of living unwisely are conflict, discouragement, disappointment, dissolution, and discontentment. Can you see this information is more important than any academics?
The Bible views man as a unified whole never separating academic learning from spiritual wisdom. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:15-17.
According to Proverbs, the wise man has length of days and long life and peace and prosperity. God desires that we walk wisely so we can become the persons He created us to be and accomplish the work He has called us to do.

In Scripture, wisdom is portrayed as a most important treasure, something to be sought after with consistent discipline. We, as Christians, tend to think of wisdom as something to be attained--an ideal to which we aspire. Charles Stanley contents that genuine wisdom is evidenced in how we live. The truly wise person is one whose values, perspectives, career goals, and daily decisions are all shaped by the wisdom found in Christ.
Choosing to live according to Biblical precepts is a lifestyle foreign to the worldly patterns among which we live. Inevitably, there will be clashes between the wisdom of God and that of the world. Dr. Stanley teaches how to apply God's wisdom as we handle finances, relate to others, care for our physical health, and carry out day-to-day duties. This significant volume presents a way of living that embodies wisdom from above. Retail 19.99
HOW is a provision of God to my family. I can't tell you the number of times I have cried as it has ministered to my heart, how many times I have thanked God for a "curriculum" that integrates what I believe so strongly about education into one package, that it gives me a fleshed- out skeleton to trim or add to as He leads, and still leaves me time to be a mother. I tried doing unit studies before and while the kids loved them and learned from them, I was worn out by keeping up with planning and trying to locate/substitute books that were no longer in print or carried by the library. The fact that HOW puts God's Word in its proper position of preeminence is the best part. It is natural to it, like breathing and so my kids are being bathed in it constantly. Since God's Word is living and powerful and they are bathing in it, I expect to see some beautiful fruit : )
We are using Creation and Wisdom currently. We are only a few lessons into it and already my 14 year-old is planning to put a Creation Science Club together [there isn't one in our area] in order to encourage/teach others the truth of a literal, six-day Creation and its foundational importance. The units are teaching ME so much. The Wisdom unit has been very convicting and has led to many precious and invaluable discussions with my children. I so appreciate the ease of use and the fact that HOW can be used in the way God leads a particular family using it. Because of this ability to flex to the family and be individualized, HOW keeps learning engaging and interesting rather than dry. Thank you Robin for all of the hard work you've put into HOW!
This unit study is worth its weight in gold; not only will your children benefit from it, your whole family will benefit from it.
It really communicated to me, who has been a homeschooling mom/teacher/disciple for 9 years that you seem to TRULY CARE about this, rather than just putting something together to sell.
Only one wish: that it would incorporate the younger children a bit more. However, we just included them and made projects for them at their level, and it was fine. Truthfully, the Wisdom study was just as much a learning tool for my husband and I (if not MORE) as it was for the children. It was a timely tool in the Lord's hands for our family!
We have had trouble settling in to home school (our first full year - with an ADHD child who needed to decompress from classroom pressures). When we talk about where we are heading next, Isaac says "let's do Wisdom". Music to my heart. I enjoyed doing it with him. I (loosely) have tried to follow advice from more than one pastor who has said, "read one Proverb each day." What a blessing to find a study to accompany this good advice! God Bless.
My child who is 15 is doing well at the unit. My 12 year old is not mature enough in her level of abstract thinking to deal with the issues.
I am education co-ordinator for Spirit of Truth and we have made this unit a key unit in our core curriculum. The curriculum is excellent in its development of a Christian worldview. The unit frames future counselling around references to Mistress Wisdom and Mistress Folly.
Not only did the study help my son with his research and writing skills, I saw spiritual growth and maturity in him as well as in myself.
The only negative thing I have to say is regarding one of the supplemental resources. We didn't care for the videos from the series "Making a Decision that Lasts Forever!" Perhaps they would have been acceptable to some families but we objected to some of the images in the introductions and some of the comments. Beyond that the style was something we don't care for in our family, but that would be a personal issue.
Another resource that I found that you might want to consider adding is a book by Derek Leman and published by Lederer/Messianic Jewish Communications entitled, "Proverbial Wisdom and Common Sense."
We went through the Wisdom Unit Study with our children ages 7,10,15, and 16. The younger children listened, helped read aloud, answered some questions, and had their input as the Lord led.
It is great to see that you have put a package together for the study...The internet sources are incredible.
