A Home School Vision of Victory - CD by Douglas Phillips
If a generation is to rise up and call America back to its biblical foundations, it must surely come from the ranks of her home schoolers.

This message is for every exhausted parent who needs to be reminded of the beauty and greatness of the home school vision. By Doug Phillips. One cassette.
