 Our Description

Homeschooling with Gentleness - A Catholic Discovers Unschooling
Suzie Andres

"Suzie Andres' delightful blend of anxiety, second-guessing herself, trusting herself, trusting her husband and her faith, is most fetching. It manifests that she loves God, her family, and books, and for that reason alone this book is a good read.

She seeks guidance in fine places: St. Therese of the Little Flower, Aristotle, nature, John Holt, various homeschooling experts, and her own experience. What Suzie advocates is not for everybody, but it is for those who love to have their children with them and love to teach them simply through the performing of the tasks of daily life. They must be willing to cultivate in themselves the ability to trust the natural desire for learning that God instilled in us all and to rely upon the grace He so abundantly bestows upon us.^"
-Janet Smith, Professor of the Michael J. McGivney Chair of Life Issues, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit, Michigan and Consulter to the Pontifical Council for the Family

Homeschooling With Gentleness

is a stimulating book about the possibilities of Catholic unschooling. It should prove helpful for those seeking to work with their children while educating them at home."
-Patrick Farenga, Author of Teach Your Own: The John Holt Book of HomeschoolingSuzie Andres is a graceful writer with a clear understanding of what really matters. Her management of the religious aspects of homeschooling — and life — is original, and very, very comforting."
-John Taylor Gatto, Author of The Underground History of American Education

"Suzie Andres' wise and witty little hook is, as billed, a gentle approach to home schooling. Any reader who comes to this subject with fears will have them quickly allayed by the bright and positive discussion. You will find here no brief against the compulsory schools. Rather, home schooling is seen as the natural way, the basic way, in which children can he taught. Suzie Andres speaks to Catholic parents who must see their role as a comprehensive one. The Church has always insisted that the parents are the primary educators of their children. This little book spells out the implications of that."
-Ralph Mclnerny, Noted Author, Michael P. Grace Professor of Medieval Studies and the Director of the Jacques Maritain Center, University of Notre Dame
