These are, in my opinion, as well as the opinions of many of my dear homeschool mom friends, the top ten best homeschooling books available. These are homeschooling books that have been mind opening, life changing, and invaluable in my homeschooling journey. Everyone who is homeschooling their children or thinking about homeschooling should read at least some of these inspiring and thought provoking books.
