Letters From You!
Dear Keepers of the Faith,
I just wanted to let you know that I received my order in the mail today, and I wanted to thank you for sending it so promptly. I have already finished reading one of the books, which I really enjoyed!!
Our family has really enjoyed getting books from you. Thank you so much for your ministry in giving us the opportunity to read good Christian, Christ centered books. May God richly bless you all for your labors and know that they are not in vain in the Lord.
God bless
I feel compelled at this very moment to write to you and say THANK YOU! I believe I have finally found someone who believes, as I do, in the
importance of being diligent and vigilant in training and instructing our children. I have been "persecuted" and even lost friends over my
convictions to carefully check and keep my children from books and videos, etc, that do not teach them godly principals, etc... I, myself, am not good at words, but Thank you ever so much for being a resource for me to read reviews I trust and find books that I can let my children read! I recently read your book reviews and you confirmed some of my exact concerns of books my children wanted to read and other people think fine. I was beginning to think I was being too extreme. I was frustrated and did not know what to let my child read next feeling there is nothing out there worth reading! I found your website and read your reviews. Wow! Thank you so much.
I just want to say I think you folks have one of the very best catalogs in the nation! Everything is conservative, like we like it, and priced well. I don't have to worry if the stories are going to be questionable or if the pictures are "slightly" wrong. Don't have to worry about the music you are selling. You folks are doing a wonderful job! Keep it up! And thank you!
I just wanted to thank the people at Keepers for their research on the curriculum they recommend. I purchased the 1st grade curriculum this year (after using Horizons) and am very pleased with it so far. The math is much more facts based and the reading program is not quite so overwhelming to us. Having no experience with BJU materials, I am looking forward to the history that was suggested. I also can't wait to get into the McGuffey primers!
I owe you alot for all you have done to help teach my children the right way. I have been homeschooling for 4 years and have tried many different curricula, but now I will never change again. Your Math and Reading program is the best I have ever worked with. The children work at their own pace and are learning so much. My oldest daughter has major learning disabilities but has no problems with your workbooks!! I also want to say your "catalog" is really great reading material for a struggling mother. I encourage everyone to completely read it from front to back.
Thank you again.
Dear Keepers Family,
I have already received this wonderful order and it is proving to be a blessing right away. I was almost in tears the other evening, after our family Bible and chapter book time, at the rapt attention my children gave to _Hedge Fence_. It has already been a helpful "hedge" twice today! I was not sure how my children would react to a change in our reading material. (I have begun weeding out--literally throwing away--books that are inconsistent with our Christian testimony and Bible passages.)
I personally come from a family of avid readers, and have already, before becoming convicted, begun reading Narnia and other books to my children, books which we (my husband and I) now realize are inappropriate for both the children as well as for ourselves, being Christians. We had never before made the literal connection between various quite obvious Scripture passages and the "good literature" we were reading, I suppose because it is hundreds of years old and doesn't come labeled "R" or some such thing. But praise God for several people and occurrences that opened our eyes! I heard about you through www.titus2.com, by the way, where many homeschool moms had glowing reports about your catalog.
Thank you very, very much. I have found that developing a "taste" for good books versus sensational fantasy and fiction can occur as the unhealthy appetite is starved through lack of use. (: Happily, my children love the books we're now reading. They have not even asked after Narnia, which we stopped in the midst of one of the books in that series. We look forward to placing more orders for this Godly reading material as we are able to do so.

Friends at Keepers: Thank you so much for expediting our order so quickly. We received it the next day. We had a wonderful banquet and the kids received their awards. It is a blessing to have such a program that these kids can participate in. We meet once a month Sept - May to work on the book together, so the boys/girls and parents can become a closer church family. Jesus has led us in the right direction! Praise be to Him!
Hi,
On Tuesday, I emailed an order to you for 10 copies of If by Amy Carmichael. I noted on my order that I hoped I could give those books out as graduation gifts today. I am writing to thank you for your excellent service. I was amazed at how quickly I received them - and to note that you had actually sent them the very day I ordered them! Although I've grown up and moved to California, it's not every day that I call my parents in Columbus, Ohio to say something nice about an organization in Michigan, but I did just that when I received these books.
Thank you
Dear friends at Keepers of The Faith,
I am just writing to you to let you know I absolutely LOVE your curriculum!!! I have been homeschooling for over 3 years and tried many different curriculums through those years and found NONE of them to be satisfying enough for me or stimulating enough for my children. I stumbled across your website and thought why not give it a try ~ what have I got to lose?
So, I ordered everything for 1st and 3rd grade for my children and was pleasantly surprised with how quick we received our package from you!! I usually end up waiting weeks to get what I ordered, not with Keepers, I received my order within a week.
When we opened up the package my boys dove right in to looking at the books, you would have thought it was Christmas Smiley emoticon. They were ready to begin our school year even before I had a chance to look at the books. They have never done that before. When I did finally get a chance to look at the books I almost cried I was so happy. I have NEVER seen a curriculum so comprehensive. My husband was kind of skeptical before and when he saw the books (I believe it was due to the size of them) but once I started teaching the boys out of them he was so happy and even agreed that your program will be the one we go with for years to come!
I ordered the 1st grade curriculum for my youngest who was actually pulled out of a public school Kindergarten. He is doing very well and actually is learning to read. He was well ahead of his peers in public school and bored to tears so when we pulled him out and I ordered the 1st grade curriculum. I thought I might just give 1st grade a try. At first he struggled but would not give up so he dictated our pace and now he is doing remarkably well and even keeping up with the 2 pages per day per subject you recommend. I think it is because your curriculum gives plenty of examples and problems to work through to ensure the children understand what is expected of them.
My 3rd grader is really succeeding with your curriculum also. We have had problems with past curriculums with him because he is Autistic. Not with yours, and I believe it is because of the examples and problems to work out. He is very visual and can get distracted easily but because your books do not have all the pictures and such to distract him he is doing very well. Also, with all the examples given and him being visual he can understand what he is supposed to be doing. He has surprised us all with his success and I believe it is because of your WONDERFUL program!
Thank you very much for making this program available to us! Without it I would still be searching and that adds a lot of stress to us. Now I know each year where I will be ordering and exactly what to expect - THE BEST.
Being an elementary teacher in California, and also being a mother, I cannot tell you what an "answer to a yet-unprayed prayer" you are.
I definitely appreciate your "criteria for good books" and must admit that my bookshelf changed after reading it.
The only books I buy for our family are yours or other anabaptist sites! I can trust the criteria you set----which is of more import than you know, for my family.
But then, you knew it for YOUR family, yes?
I add that my life has changed considerably since finding your site and beginning the Keepers At Home program with my daughter. How I thank God daily that you have the foresight and courage to be so selective in what you prepare for your business!
Again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I know my daughter will reap benefits more numerous to count, having been touched by your ministry.
