Hey, That’s Not Fair

Investing in Time
by Hal Young
Samuel Adams Young is a homeschool high school student and one of the sons of Hal & Melanie Young. He is a born entrepreneur and the part-owner of Grain of Truth Bread Company and Carolina Clothiers. Samuel also plays Right Guard and Defensive Tackle for the Varsity Crusaders of the Homeschool Football League.
Samuel speaks on loving learning despite dyslexia, entrepreneurship, and the social consequences of special needs. Samuel hits a great balance of humor and depth. Kids struggling with academics are particularly encouraged by his speaking.
Hal and Melanie Young, authors of Raising Real Men, the Christian Small Publishers Association 2011 Book of the Year, are parents of six real boys and two real girls. They have homeschooled through eight high-risk pregnancies, three re-locations, two decades, and 181 degrees of longitude.
Hal and Melanie have served on the Board of Directors of North Carolinians for Home Education for over 14 years, including three terms as President for Hal. In addition to writing Raising Real Men, they have also co-authored their newest book, My Beloved and My Friend: How to be Married to Your Best Friend without Changing Spouses. They have published articles with The Foundation for Economic Education, Homeschooling Today, the John Locke Foundation, Homeschool Digest, TEACH Magazine, Homeschool Enrichment, the N.C. Family Policy Council, the Heartland Institute and more. Hal and Melanie have made more than 50 media appearances in venues as wide ranging as The Jesse Lee Peterson Show and the Bob Dutko Show to Mancow’s Morning Madhouse and CBS Evening News with Dan Rather. Their dramatized audiobooks, such as Hero Tales from American History by Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge, are gaining a following across the country, as well.
Hal and Melanie are sought after conference speakers who routinely draw standing room only crowds with their mix of uniquely entertaining cross-banter and practical, powerful Scriptural principles. They have glorified the Lord through some extreme challenges recently, though, with Hal successfully fighting stage IV cancer and their youngest dealing with a life-threatening heart condition. Despite it all, the Youngs live in noisy familial bliss in North Carolina.
