Parents' Guide to Homeschool

MRS. SAM SORBO (WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA) is a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and attended Duke University before opting to travel the world pursuing a successful international fashion modeling career. This led to acting work. Sam performed in many films, like Bonfire of the Vanities andTwenty Bucks, and television, including Jag and Chicago Hope, before guest starring on Hercules, when Kevin Sorbo swept her off her feet. They married in 1998. Kevin suffered three strokes prior to their wedding, which prompted Sam to step back from her active career and tend to him instead. Several years, two boys, and a girl later, Sam became an unlikely but impassioned advocate for home education. In addition to Parents’ Guide to Homeschool: Make Home Education Easy and Fun, Sam is the author of They’re YOUR Kids: My Journey from Self-Doubter to Home School Advocate to empower parents to reimagine their children’s education standards and accept the responsibility, challenge, and immeasurable joy of personally teaching their own offspring. Sam also wrote Teach from Love, a school-year devotional for families that focuses on instilling godly virtues in our children. Of course, Kevin and Sam home educated their three children, graduating their youngest in Spring 2024. Sam is also the author of Christmas for Forty Days: A Christmastime Devotional for Families, Words for Warriors: Fight Back Against Crazy Socialists and the Toxic Liberal Left, Share the Light: 40 World-Changing Devotions and True Faith: Embracing Adversity to Live in God's Light. While she continues acting, producing, writing, and appearing as a guest in the media such as NEWSMAX, Sam hosts The Sam Sorbo Show daily and is a sought-after public speaker. She enjoys engaging her audiences in a new national dialog about how we define education as a nation and a culture. Together, the Sorbos produced and starred in the surprise hit movie Let There Be Light, which Sam co-wrote, Kevin directed, and Sean Hannity executive produced. The film, which featured Dionne Warwick, Travis Tritt, and the Sorbo boys Braeden and Shane, highlighted faith, family, and forgiveness. The Sorbos’ latest film, Miracle in East Texas: A Tall Tale Inspired By An Absolutely True Story, is a romantic comedy about two con men and the biggest oil strike in history. With Sorbo Studios, they seek to elevate Christian values, inspire hope, and restore the Judeo-Christian American culture. The author lives and works in the West Palm Beach, FL metro area.
