A concise and practical book offering encouragement for Christian parents who desire to make a smooth transition from traditional schooling to home education. Homeschooling is often referred to as the greenhouse effect.

As you prepare the soil of the home for this transplanting from school to home, what challenges can you anticipate and plan to overcome? How can you best prepare and maintain the soil of the home as primary learning environment - academic and spiritual?
