Seminar CDs
Scott and Marcia Somerville have made the homeschool journey and are eager to help your family find the way. After more than twenty years of homeschooling their six children, they embarked on Lampstand Live, a 2007 speaking tour custom-designed to strengthen homeschooling families like yours.
About Lampstand Live
In 2007, Lampstand Press hosted a speaking tour by Marcia and Scott Somerville, called Lampstand Live, giving Scott and Marcia a forum for communicating their heart for the spiritual growth of homeschooling parents. Although Scott and Marcia still make conference appearances, Lampstand Live has concluded — but their recorded speeches are still available to encourage and instruct parents!
About Scott & Marcia Somerville
Scott Somerville
Scott Somerville went to Harvard Law School with five children in 1989 and graduated with honors (and a sixth child) in 1992. Scott was a homeschool activist before he was a lawyer - as the first president of Christian Home Educators of New Hampshire, Scott battled the New Hampshire rules revision subcommittee to a standstill in their effort to triple the regulations on homeschoolers. That brush with the law was enough to induce him to quit his day job as a programmer, put the house on the market, and move the whole family down to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Scott went straight from liberal Harvard to the Home School Legal Defense Association and spent the next fourteen years fighting for homeschoolers' freedoms...

In October, Scott left HSLDA (with their blessing and full support) to join Lampstand Press in a full-time capacity and encourage fathers as the heads of their homeschools. He is now General Counsel for Lampstand Press, as well as the creator of the successful Pop Quiz audio CDs and a highly acclaimed nation-wide speaker.
Scott has written and spoken extensively on subjects ranging from parental rights to the privacy of the home, but his central concern has always been for the homeschool family – especially the homeschool dad. Scott combines his personal experience of over more than 20 years of homeschooling with his professional expertise. After assisting thousands of individual homeschoolers across America , he knows as much about the peril and promise of homeschooling as any man in America.
In 2007 Scott and Marcia put their collective homeschool wisdom together in a seminar for couples called Building Your Homeschool Together. The messages they shared during this seminar series are available for purchase on CD.

Marcia
Somerville has homeschooled her six children from the
beginning. But she was ready to quit when her oldest
entered high school and her youngest started
Kindergarten: trying to teach five subjects to six
children Monday through Friday looked impossible.
What made it harder for Marcia was that she had received an excellent education herself, attending Kent School and Dartmouth College. She knew what a good education looked like, and was not satisfied with racing from child to child and subject to subject day after day. She wanted them to grow up to be wise young men and women who understood the times and knew what they should do...

Marcia reached the end of her own ability, but God met her there. After weeks of tears and prayer, she came up with a different way to teach. She had been a History major in college, and knew that everything one needs to learn happened or was discovered at some moment in History. By cycling through the history of the world every four years, she could cover everything her children needed to learn. By repeating that cycle as the children grew up, the whole family could be learning the same content at their individual levels. The Tapestry of Grace curriculum was born!
Today, Marcia leads the continuing development of Tapestry of Grace as she travels with her husband to speak to home schooling parents. Her life message is what she learned in her own home school – the nearness of God is her good. She would love to meet you in person at one of her upcoming conference appearances, but if you are unable to attend, you can purchase seminar CDs at the Lampstand Press Bookshelf.
