    I'm looking for used Bigger Hearts for His Glory.

    Where do ya'll go to get things like this?

    I heard people go to some kind of homeschooling conventions, but I dont think I'll be able to go to one this year.

    Nothing on Ebay, or Half Price Books, anywhere else to go?

    Thanks so much!

    It's $42.29 at Christianbook.com which I've found is usually cheaper even than Rainbow Resouce.

    (RR is raved to be the "cheap place" - and often does have a significant price difference over the publisher's site. I always check both places, and for this particular title I'm not finding it on RR at all.)


    After a google search, here it is at Heart of Dakota Publishing for $39.95. This appears to be the original publisher's site; the home page has all of the titles in the series, and a blurb about the author.

    I did also find it on eBay for 34.95 on a Buy It Now deal, so you might just keep checking. :)


    Edited to add - this title seems like one you'll be hard pressed to find used. I've found that with quite a lot of the Christian specific curriculums that aren't mainstream subjects like English or Science. :) Hope you find it for as cheap as possible! Check locally as well....

    Are you a member of HSLDA? They also have curriculum sales. Anybody can sell but only members can buy. It is a benefit for members who couldn't get teacher's guides off of ebay.

    I get some at used curriculum fairs and some at a resale shop here that focuses on Christian books and music.

    Local hs stores (by local I mean a good 30-40 minute drive, but hey that counts)

    For what its worth, I looked that one up in both the hs stores & noticed it was just published in august 2007 so it might be tough to find used just yet for that reason!

    I have good luck with vegsource. You could also see if some of your local homeschool groups have used curriculum sales or have a place on their website to sell curriculum.
