Our family has been working non-stop around the clock for a couple of months. As our summer was winding down, we had some friends who own a house in the North Carolina mountains who were kind enough to let us stay in their house. However, the weeks leading up to vacation were so busy and [...]
Me and My House began out of my love of discipling others. In its early days I designed and sold crafts and patterns and taught craft classes. Then we began selling home school resources in the early 90′s to promote our discipleship philosophy of education. I loved taking our whole family to vend at the home school conventions; meeting and talking with like-minded brothers and sisters at our table and presenting workshops. Now, we don’t make it to many conventions except as attenders instead of sellers. I currently conduct seminars, disciple one-on-one, write resources, and do this website, elists, blogs, and other internet discipleship, mostly on home ed, some on nutrition, and the rest out of an overflow of worship and family life.
Colin and I both are both blessed to come from a godly Christian heritage. We are grateful for this legacy. I believe God’s plan is for us t build godly generations so that His truth is passed on from one generation to the next. They say that the most difficult time of a relay race is to pass the baton to the next runner. We must be careful that we don’t drop the baton as we seek to impart God’s truth to the next generation.

Who are Grace & Truth Books? We are the family business of Dennis & Naomi Gundersen, and our four boys, all of whom have made significant contributions to the business.

Mike, who designed our first website and has traveled to countless homeschool conventions with Dennis; and Greg, who is our resident artist, re-drawing cover art and inside book sketches.
In the fall of 1997, when Kim Kautzer and Debbie Oldar began teaching their first WriteShop class to a small group of homeschoolers, they planned to use one or two established writing programs as their core curriculum. They never intended to write such a program of their own. However, as they began the process of lesson planning, they found that each program, while having its own merits, also contained holes they felt were important to fill. Over that summer of planning and preparing, WriteShop was born.
