Summary: Beware
Comment: I would like to warn anyone interested in this magazine that their customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with. I ordered the magazine months ago, haven't received an issue after 5 months, and numerous phone calls to their customer service number-- which is only a voice mail-- have gone unanswered. To date, I'm out my money and have no magazine. I'm hoping Amazon sees fit to refund my money.

Summary: Not all homeschoolers are religious
Comment: If you are homeschooling your children for religious reasons, this magazine may be a fit for you. However, if you are one of many parents homeshooling your children for other reasons, find another magazine. This publication, like many materials dedicated to homeschooling, is rife with religious influence. I can not recommend an alternative because I've yet to find one that does not have its roots in Christian fundamentalism. (I mean no disrespect to Christians with this review. It was meant to warn others from making a purchase they may regret if they are not of that religious belief.)
