We are the Maxwells! We have been homeschooling since 1985, and it's been a wonderful, delightful, and challenging journey.

Family Business:
Steve is full time in the Titus2.com ministry, and Nathan and Christopher work together in our family business, CCI. In addition, Nathan teaches online courses through our new website, ITonRamp.com. The Lord brought Steve to work at home from corporate America in 1997.

Detailed Bios:

Steve, in addition to his many responsibilities, likes to share his heart in his monthly e-mail article, the Dad's Corner. He felt the Lord's strong leading to write a men's book called Redeeming the Time, which is available in paperback or unabridged audiobook. He also recorded Feed My Sheep: A Practical Guide to Daily Family Bible Time. We desire for families to be encouraged to see how it is possible to do family Bible time and be consistent.

Teri loves being a homemaker, homeschooler, wife, mother, and grandma! Her days are filled to the brim with her tasks, but she manages to squeeze in writing time (because of her schedule?!). Her newest book is Sweet Journey. She also writes monthly Mom's Corners.

Nathan, at the age of 24, bought a home debt-free. It has been a family goal to have our boys be able to purchase a home without incurring debt and to be able to provide for their family (more about this in Preparing Sons to Provide for a Single-Income Family). Nathan went through a courtship and engagement before marrying Melanie. They have two little girls: Abigail and Bethany. We felt the Lord's leading to launch ITonRamp.com. Nathan now leads distance-learning courses from ITonRamp, and it has been exciting to see the Lord bring students and hear their enthusiasm for what they are learning. Home Track is a great "learn about your computer" course--young and old enjoy it. In addition, we offer several other courses.

Christopher graduated from homeschool in 1997 and has been working full time in the family business since then. Most of his work involves financial consulting with companies, designing web sites, and photography. Christopher also purchased his home debt-free, and he married Anna Marie H. in October 2010. He and Joseph designed ScripturePrints.

Sarah graduated from homeschool in 2000. Sarah enjoys helping in the family Titus2.com ministry, writing the Moody Family Series, and homemaking tasks. She keeps our blog up to date and captures daily life as our "photographer." Sarah would love to be a wife/mother if the Lord wants that for her life, but in the meantime, she has plenty to do.

Joseph has been programming professionaly for many years. Currently, he works full time for CCI programming. He has also done two Internet-based software: ChoreWare, optional for Managers of Their Chores, and ScheduleBreeze, optional for MOTH book owners. He graduated from homeschool in 2007. When Joseph has a little time, he loves playing the mandolin and guitar. Joseph will be leading an ITonRamp course in January 2012 called HTML-Step One in Website Design.

John graduated in 2009 from the Maxwells' homeschool, and he is our in-house bus mechanic! He and Joseph enjoy working together in their Leavenworth construction business.

Anna graduated in November of 2010 from the Maxwells' homeschool. She delights in helping around the house and is a wonderful asset to whatever projects are going on. Anna has recently acquired the skill of yogurt making. She is our fiddler as well!

Jesse has only a year left of homeschool. In his "spare" time, he enjoys mowing lawns, lawn maintenance, small engine repair, and helping with Titus2 projects. He currently plays the mandolin and guitar.

Mary is the last child that the Lord has given us. She is a special delight and joy. Mary loves to sew, take her niece on a walk, bake, and help the family. Sheis also a great asset at the book tables when we travel together as a family. The instruments she plays are the bass and guitar.

Our family's highest delight is in knowing Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and serving Him. We pray that this website and the materials we offer will be a blessing to your family!
