Cathy Duffy Author of 102 Top Picks for Homeschool CurriculumThe Philosophy Adventure: Pre-Socratics course makes the study of philosophy very accessible, even to students as young as sixth grade. The worldview component provides the balance so often lacking in other philosophy courses.

I can’t wait to see what she does with Plato and Aristotle!

Bonnie Rose Write Bonnie Rose“If you are looking for a tool to motivate reluctant middle school and high school writers, Creative Freewriting Adventure is it. Author Stacy Farrell goes beyond writing prompts by sharing a scene the reader is immediately drawn into, one that he can see, hear, feel, taste, and touch. She then turns the scene over to him and equips him with the tools to imagine the impossible and share it with the world.”
Leslie Nunnery Teach Them Diligently Homeschool Convention“I have absolutely loved every work I have looked at by Stacy Farrell, and Creative Freewriting Adventure is no exception. I read it from cover to cover in one sitting and am having a hard time not getting my kiddos started on it right away, so I can see what they come up with in response to her great prompts.

Wendy Bilbo Hilton Owner, Hip Homeschool Moms“Stacy Farrell has created a writing resource that even reluctant writers will love! Her creativity will be appreciated by both teacher and student alike.

Sharon Watson Writing with Sharon Watson“What a delight Stacy Farrell’s Creative Freewriting Adventure—A Journey into Freewriting is! Instead of simply writing stories, students are asked to become characters themselves and step into the thick of an adventure in progress. This is prompt-writing ingenuity at its best. Storywriters will ask for more, and I suspect that even the most uncreative students will enjoy exploring these new worlds.”
Marcy Crabtree benandme.com“As she has done with every other biblical worldview resource she has written, Stacy Farrell once again gently guides middle and high schools students into the world of critical thinking. This time, ingenious 15-minute writing assignments create scenarios where the writer becomes an integral part of the story as they interact with both fictional and historical characters. Guided by simple prompts that employ all of the senses, reluctant and eager writers alike will be drawn into the imaginative stories of Creative Freewriting Adventure. If your goal is to encourage your students to engage with writing in a way that is both fun and meaningful . . . begin here.”
…about the Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal:
Israel Wayne Author of Questions God Asks, Homeschooling From A Biblical Worldview, and Editor for ChristianWorldview.net“There has never been a mind quite like C. S. Lewis … Stacy Farrell has done a great service by providing insightful study questions for students and adults who want to work critically through this Christian masterpiece.”
Michael Phillips Best selling Christian Author, Father of the Inklings.comBetween two bookends on a shelf above my desk sit the handful of books that have been most influential in my walk with God. In the center, honored above all the rest, is C. S. Lewis’s classic, Mere Christianity. I have read five or six times, more often than I have read any other book. My recommendation of Mere Christianity, and this excellent study-journal based on it, is enthusiastic and unqualified.
Hal & Melanie Young Authors of Raising Real Men and My Beloved and My FriendStacy Farrell hits another home run with the Mere Christianity Critical Analysis Journal. With insightful questions and thoughtful responses, she’ll guide students into thinking deeply about the most important issues of life while reading C.S. Lewis’s classic defense of Christianity.
Dr. James Stobaugh FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS MINISTRIESStacy’s ability to demystify the most complicated theological concept with the simplest question is extraordinary: “Would you rather a person pretended to be nice when they were actually nasty? Why or why not?” I highly recommend this vital contribution to the study of the works of the great C. S. Lewis.
