Engaging Resources with a Biblical Worldview
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR RESOURCES:
Stacy Farrell does a good job of introducing young people (6th-12th grade) to the world of ideas — ideas that are crucial to understand because they continue to shape our world and the way people think.

“In all my years of research, seldom have I picked up a book on philosophy and felt that I couldn’t put it down. That changed when I encountered Philosophy Adventure…. I highly recommend Philosophy Adventure to students and educators!”
Linda Lacour Hobar Author of The Mystery of History
“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.”
Israel Wayne Author of Questions God Asks, Homeschooling From A Biblical Worldview, and Editor for ChristianWorldview.net
The 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. Farrell has clearly spent many years developing and presenting this course material to be able to present such a comprehensive presentation. I can’t wait to see what she does with Plato and Aristotle!

“Stacy Farrell has created a writing resource that even reluctant writers will love! Her creativity will be appreciated by both teacher and student alike. She takes material that is challenging and makes it fun. Her prompts and suggestions allow students to respond with their own unique personalities and styles while giving enough guidelines to make them feel comfortable. In short, this is one of the best creative writing curriculums I have ever seen for older students!”
Wendy Bilbo Hilton Owner, Hip Homeschool Moms
“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.”

“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. This will be a very fun and interesting writing resource for your family!”
Leslie Nunnery Teach Them Diligently Homeschool Convention
“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.”
