This novel presents a fascinating account of two young men, from very different backgrounds, who experience the adventure of whaling during the mid-nineteenth century. It is not only a story of adventure and hardship on the high seas, but also a tale of friendship, love, and God’s redeeming grace.

In modern American society, few people understand why men risked their lives and endured long periods of loneliness simply to hunt for whales. Hunting for Whales will help readers to appreciate the daring exploits of whalemen, and to understand what it must have been like to face a monstrous creature armed only with an iron spear and Yankee courage.

More than ever, young people need to be exposed to uplifting literature that can help them to develop into bold and compassionate servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. The book,Hunting for Whales was written with this goal in mind.

HOMESCHOOL MINISTRY REACHES MEMBERSHIP MILESTONE
A New Approach to Legal Services for Homeschoolers Welcomed

Callers to Homeschool Legal Advantage are greeted with an understanding, “How can we be of service?” This dedication to ministry and Christian service has a long heritage.

Homeschool Legal Advantage (www.HomschoolLegalAdvantage.com) is a ministry of the Christian Law Association. For over 40 years, under the faithful leadership of Dr. David Gibbs, Jr., CLA has worked tirelessly to protect and preserve the rights of believers. In a recent interview, Attorney David Gibbs noted, “A few years ago CLA experienced an increasing number of calls from homeschool families. We concluded that what was needed was to offer families a CHOICE of where to go when/if they encountered legal snags.” Homeschool Legal Advantage was born as a ministry wing of the Christian Law Association and has experienced rapid and impressive growth. Beginning their third year of service, HLA is approaching 20,000 members.
While homeschooling is legal in all 50 states and has a proven track record of success, parents can encounter bureaucratic snags and other challenges to their schooling. The professionals at HLA offer legal and practical expertise to empower families to exercise their educational choice with confidence.

Homeschool Legal Advantage offers families several distinct differences: (1) Their attorneys serve as Legal Missionaries to this non-profit organization; (2) They offer the first year membership free with subsequent years on a suggested donation basis instead of a hefty yearly fee; (3) They are devoted to homeschool legal matters. The HLA team includes a large group of full-time attorneys and an additional 200+ affiliated attorneys throughout the United States.
This first year membership comes with some impressive benefits, including a free last will and testament for homeschooling parents. To date, thousands of young families are experiencing legal peace of mind, for today with their homeschool and for tomorrow with an estate plan for their families.

In addition, HLA members receive free legal representation from their parent organization, the Christian Law Association, for religious liberty issues even if the cause of action is not related to homeschooling. This includes matters such as workplace discrimination, Christian employer obligations, the right to witness, public prayer, and any other matter related to Christians in matters of faith.
In their first two years of quiet, rapid growth, this organization is changing the face of legal services for homeschoolers. “We are humbled by the welcome reception we are receiving from the homeschool community,” notes Attorney Gibbs. “It is a privilege and a blessing to be of service.”

If you would like more information about this remarkable ministry, or to schedule an interview about Homeschool Legal Advantage, please call Christine Field at 727-278-7684 or email her at cfield [at] gibbsfirm [dot] com.

Valley Forge, PA—According to the National Home Education Research Institute, in 2010 there were more than two million homeschool students in the United States, with the population growing an estimated 2% to 8% per year. The majority of those who homeschool do so because they want to give their children “religious or moral instruction.” In an effort to meet the spiritual needs of these homeschooling parents, Anita Mellott has writtenSchool Is Where the Home Is: 180 Devotions for Parents (Judson Press 2011).

In School Is Where the Home Is, Mellott explores specific homeschooling issues and presents biblical truths to guide parents through challenging times. Devotionals address everything from homeschool basics and affects on the primary educator and family, to the gifts children receive by being homeschooled and life and faith as seen through their eyes. This unique blend of the practical and inspirational offers the daily encouragement today’s homeschool parents need.

In his foreword for the book, Michael P. Farris, chairman of the Homeschool Legal Defense Association, writes:

“Like all good books of encouragement, Anita’s draws out spiritual lessons from the everyday events that arise in the process of homeschooling. We all can identify with these stories. Accordingly, we can all benefit from the spiritual insights and encouragements she draws out of each episode. The lessons are written with a light touch but are able to connect each of us with that which is truly profound.”

A number of recognized homeschool experts have praised Mellott’s inspiring resource, including:

• Amy Wallace, author of the Defenders of Hope series
• Andrew Pudewa, Institute for Excellence in Writing
• Jonathan Lewis, editor of Homeschool Enrichment

 A sample devotion from School Is Where the Home Is is available online atwww.judsonpress.com.

About the Author: Anita Mellott, in her eighth year of homeschooling, has first-hand experience with the ups and downs, the joys and challenges of the homeschooling life. She leads a homeschool encouragement group and regularly contributes to Homeschool Enrichment, Crosswalk.com, and the Cypress Times. Her blog, From the Mango Tree, focuses on encouragement through life’s journey. For thirteen years, Mellott has worked as a writer/editor with Habitat for Humanity International. Prior to moving to the United States, she headed the Department of Journalism at Mt. Carmel College, Bangalore, India, and also has experience in public relations and advertising in India.
