1. The Tree House Stories with Study Guide
Written for real read-aloud time: Chapters in The Tree House Stories and The Cave are sized for a bedtime read-aloud or a morning-basket slot, so they fit into a homeschool rhythm you already have. Faith woven in, not bolted on: Christian themes show up inside the story itself — through choices characters make — rather than as a moral tacked onto the end.
The Tree House Stories
In The Tree House Stories, a loving grandfather (Papa) invites his granddaughter Kailyn—and the reader—to a series of extraordinary “Gatherings” at a hidden, magical Tree House. This is no ordinary tree house. Directed by King Avi (a clear representation of God), it serves as a sacred meeting place where family members from across generations arrive, shed the burdens of age, illness, and earthly pain, and are restored to youthful vigor.

3. The Master's Apprentice Study Series for Homeschoolers
Values, not just vocabulary. Each series centers on a specific facet of your child's journey of faith in Christ, shaped by the Holy Spirit, and grounded in God's Word. It's more than an academic exercise — virtues like courage, humility, and perseverance are woven into the content itself, so meaningful discussion emerges naturally rather than feeling bolted on.
The Master's Apprentice Study Series,
Volume 1: New Wineskins
The Great Commission mandate to “go and make disciples” includes a process of laying a biblical foundation within our hearts, minds, and lives. The collective body of Christians forms a living organism which is inspired by the indwelling Holy Spirit and the Word of God. When spiritual growth does not occur, when faith is not put into practice in daily life, when the renewal process is hindered, you hurt not only yourself, but you (potentially) compromise the health of your local church. The followers of Jesus the Messiah (Yeshua HaMashiach) do so, not only by their words, but by a life that is completely surrendered to Yeshua.
Study Guide for New Wineskins: Grades 6–12
Homeschool Edition
Drawing on decades of ministry experience, international missionary work, and Christian counseling, Dr. Reilly examines the widening gap between cultural Christianity and the biblical standard — and calls readers to close it. Using Jesus' own metaphor from Mark 2:22, the book argues that old patterns of thinking, inherited traditions, and Greek-filtered readings of Scripture have become wine skins too rigid to hold what God is pouring out in this generation.
The Master's Apprentice Study Series,
Volume 2: The Master's Model
The Master's Model is Volume 2 of Dr. Michael W. Reilly's Master's Apprentice Study Series. Building on Volume 1 (New Wineskins), it challenges believers to move beyond nominal, church-attendance Christianity into authentic, mobilized discipleship. Reilly argues that the Great Commission — rightly understood through a Hebrew cultural lens — is not a program or church initiative but a complete reorientation of life.
Study Guide for The Master’s Model: Grades 6–12
Homeschool Edition
The Study Guide for The Master's Model (Volume 2 of Dr. Michael W. Reilly's The Master's Apprentice series) moves from Volume 1's call to authentic discipleship into the practical "how." The Master's Model lays out the actual method Jesus used to disciple the Twelve, framed as a reproducible four-phase model: (1) Early Days, (2) Participation and Teaching, (3) Equipping and Sending, and (4) Experience and Independent Ministry.
Along the way it addresses the urgency of "the last days," the true function of the local church, the early church as a benchmark for authentic community, the three distinct biblical baptisms, and a "Discipleship Continuum" tracking growth from Seeker to Equipper. Throughout, the goal is not more Bible knowledge but transformation — training Great Commission Christians who reproduce disciples the way Jesus did.
The Master's Apprentice Study Series,
Volume 3: Anointing & Spiritual Gifts
Anointing & Spiritual Gifts covers how our spiritual gifts are the primary tools given to each of us by the Father to do His will. Each born-again believer must understand that the underlining purpose of the LORD giving each of us a spiritual gift-mix is not only an avenue for self-expression in our service to the Lord, but the primary avenue to reach the lost. Spiritual gifts are not to be confined within the perimeters of the local church. It is via our spiritual gifts that we are uniquely equipped to be effective is fulfilling our role in the Great Commission.
