Ten Ps in a Pod

A million-mile journey of Family discipleship, home education and gospel evangelism. Imagine being a parent with a dream to live and serve the Lord as a unified family. Now, imagine that his dream includes placing eight children and your wife in a couple of four-door cars and embarking on a journey of home education, family discipleship, and Gospel evangelism that will last for more than one million miles. Imagine that, along the way, you collectively memorize the New Testament, live by faith on pennies a day, battle truant officers, sing in hundreds of churches and in the process share the kind of glorious experiences that knit the hearts of parents and children together for a lifetime. This dream became a reality in the lives of a rare, visionary father named Arnold Pent II and his family of eight very musical children. Together with his wife Persis, Arnold cast a unique vision for discipleship and evangelism which resulted in the Pent's earning the title of "the world's most unusual family." Ten P's in a pod was compiled from the journals of Arnold Pent III, written when he was age 17 to 19. Originally self published Ten P's in a Pod became something of an underground classic as Christian readers across the nation began to share by word of mouth.
