"Discouragement, personal doubt and disillusionment - these are the deadly trio which haunt far too many homeschoolers. The homeschooling journey is both joyous and difficult. Diana Johnson has given us a jolt of encouragement in her new book, When Homeschoolings Gets Tough. This is a must read for the tired veteran as well as the fresh newcomer. Thank you Diana for giving us a rich source to turn to when our homeschooling gets tough!"
--Christine Field, Head of Staff, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, author of Help for the Harried Homeschooler (Shaw 2002), Life Skills for Kids (Shaw, 2001) and A Field Guide to Home Schooling (Revell, 1998)
"When Homeschooling Gets Tough is a wonderful expression of not only how to homeschool, but a great explanation of why we should homeschool. Diana Johnson captures the essence of home schooling from a Christian mom's perspective. It will be a true blessing to anyone who takes the time to enjoy Diana's sharing from her wealth of experience."
----Tim Lambert, Texas Home School Coalition
"Homeschooling does get tough for most of us, at least for a season at least once. It is both refreshing and reassuring to know that you aren't the only one who struggles, and to have some perspective and strategy for those days or weeks."
"Like a helpful big sister, Diana tells us that it is OK, in fact rather normal, to have disappointments, difficult children (ours or others'), self-righteousness (ours or others'), and other problems - and then with life-giving words she takes us to Scripture. Diana has strategies for working with your local church as well, seeing it as a real resource."
"There is nothing like having a transparent friend who points you to the Lord. This is exactly what Diana does in this helpful little book."
