A number of requests have been made asking where the Grand Plan is located in our book, The Guidance Manual for the Christian Homeschool. Well, even though the phrase "Grand Plan" didn't appear in our book when we wrote it, the concepts are certainly there. (We came up with the catchy phrase a few months after our book was printed.) But for those who want to easily find the concepts, read pages 80-89, 92-97, and 142-155. Forms you can use are on pages 246-251 of Appendix F.
