I prayed and then I took a look at what I had, not much money,but I had books. Then I prayed again and decided that I could squeeze $10 a week to buy more used books. We started buying all the used curriculum we could and started looking for mothers who needed help. Faithful Servant's Books has two projects.
The first is the free book list. All the books and materials we can find are put on this free list. I e-mail it out to anyone who asks for it. Everything on the list is free to any family who can use it. The families do have to pay the postage but if they cannot afford it we try to help them. The free list will continue to go out as long as I can find items to put on it. I have some hopeful prospects for books from a local library and I am starting to hear from a few people who are beginning to offer books they no longer want
The second project is a book rent/loan program. I have offered and am lending out both single items and whole curriculums. this school year a couple of dozen families will be home schooling with almost if not all their materials being lent to them for free. The families do have to pay the shipping both to their house and then the shipping back to me at the end of the year. The shipping is done at book rate and that helps keep the price down. for example one family borrowed all the material for two grades. The shipping was $13 one way. When they are done it will have cost them $26 for two children for the whole year! How long can we continue? We don't know. But, we are going to try. If we enable one child to home school rather then be forced, because of money, to go to public school, then all the work will be worth it. Will we be ripped off? I guess it is a walk by faith. Come next summer maybe some will not return the books, but God will help us to still have what we need. I believe that most if not all home schooling families will appreciate the service and respect the rules.

YES! There are rules.
1. Families are asked to take good care of the materials (try not to feed them to the dogs or use them for muddy boots)
2. Families are not to write on or in any of the materials (we put all the answers on paper to save the materials for others to use) There are a few exceptions to this such as the little ones math.
3. Families are to have the books returned to me by the return date.
4. Families are asked to please pray for Servant's Heart Ministries and me (I really need it).

Well, that's the story of Faithful Servant's Books. Built from the idea that there is more profit in helping each other than in making money from each other. After all is not everything we do to encourage good, Godly education of this generation really an investment in all of our futures? Will we not all benefit from a better generation which will be running things?
