Summary: Organized from the inside out
Review: As a self-proclaimed 'messie' I have been led to read many organizational books. It was so refreshing to find this book which combined the two desires of my heart; to one, transform myself spiritually not just physically, and two, minister to my family's specific needs as we homeschool. This book addresses the specific heart issues that can challenge you, and gives scriptures of encouragement to feed the soul. Vicki also gives many practical insights to inspire one to adapt to their families specific needs. As soon as I discovered it, I bought one for myself and promptly bought 2 more and gave them to friends. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Organization-beyond filing and into your life!
Review: I am naturally very organized, but I love books on the subject because I am always wanting to improve. One paragraph really stood out to me, it is called, Time Well Spent. "How do we know if our time has been well spent? If we finish the things that we hoped to get done, it is time well spent. If we don't accomplish what we hoped to get done, somehow we think time was wasted. But what if you hoped to complete Sam's math lesson within an hour but instead spent that time searching for Bible references about pride after Sam boasted to his siblings that he was gifted in math? Was that a waste of time? The math did not get done. Yet in God's eyes the time was spent in a productive manner. He provided an opportunity for Sam to learn more about himself and about God. That was definitely time well spent. It is important that we are flexible enough in our scheduling to allow for Godly interruptions" I loved this because it emphasizes the whole reason that we homeschool to have a Godly influence in the life of our children and how THAT is our priority.

Summary: Help for the hopeless
Review: I loved this book not just for the wise homeschooling principles/organizational guidelines, but also general, overall organizational tips.Vicki is helpful, informative, insightful and understanding. She even emphasizes organizing the home library and while step by step helps aren't given, it certainly gives food for thought. I am brand new to homeschooling and this book has given me confidence to step forward on this new path.

Summary: Help for the Organizationally Challenged!
Review: Vicki Caruana has hit the nail on the head with this book! It speaks directly to not just homeschoolers but everyone who needs help with the organization of daily life. Based on Biblical principles Mrs. Caruana has explained that God is the perfect organizer and expects us to be "in His image". Thank you Vicki for your timely wisdom in a very un-organized time.
