Tracy is the wife of Christopher Klicka, Senior Counsel of Home School Legal Defense Association. Married 21 years, they have been blessed with seven children ranging from age 7 to 17, whom they have homeschooled since their birth. Through many trials over the years (including the near-death of their twins during her pregnancy, and the current and ongoing struggle of Chris’ multiple sclerosis), Tracy has learned firsthand what walking by faith is all about. She has seen over and over again the outpouring of God’s grace in her life, and the precious importance of the Scriptures in sustaining and empowering believers. Her message for moms is one of hope and joy in God, who is able to make all grace abound to us (II Corinthians 9:8). She has written dozens of articles, has been interviewed on both national and international media, and has spoken at numerous state homeschool conventions to encourage women to see God’s faithfulness as they take him at His Word.

David and Shirley, home school parents of nine wonderful children, began homeschooling in 1980. Their passion is to encourage families to disciple their children to stand firm in Christ in the 21st Century. David is the author of many popular homeschool curricula which he initially wrote for his wife to teach their children. The focus of both their writtings and speaking is to equip the next generation to stand upon the Biblical worldview. David explains that "there is no higher calling . . . and there is no greater opportunity!"
