by Anna Sophia Botkin and Elizabeth Botkin $25.00

For the first time in America’s history, young ladies can expect to encounter a large gap between their years of basic training and the time when they marry… if they marry. Now Christian girls all throughout our country are seriously asking: What’s a girl to do with her single years?

Two years after the publication of their best-selling book, So Much More, Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin are taking the message of visionary daughterhood to a new level and into a new medium. This highly-controversial documentary will take viewers into the homes of several young women who have dared to defy today’s anti-family culture in pursuit of a biblical approach to daughterhood, using their in-between years to pioneer a new culture of strength and dignity, and to rebuild Western Civilization, starting with the culture of the home.

“After twenty-five years of speaking to the home-school movement, I have never seen a more effective tool to reach the hearts of fathers who love their daughters but don’t know how to lead them, than this powerful DVD by Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin.”
—Dr. Marshall Foster

As the home goes, so often goes the church, and society at large. Learn along with Anna Sofia and Elizabeth, the fulfilling, exciting life of impact and accomplishment that young women can and should have. Discover the power of the family unit and a picture of the biblical home as the center of dominion work — a vibrant center of education, ministry, evangelism, culture, entrepreneurialism, and hospitality.

An Introduction to Natural Learning Using Her Methods

by Sandi Queen  $7.00

There are many excellent ‘Charlotte Mason’ books out there.  This little book does not intend to take their place.  It is a starting point - an introduction, just as the title suggests.  Read it first if you are contemplating a Charlotte Mason style education for your children.  In these pages you will find the basics of her style of education and where to look for further information.

This book is not another Christian-teenage-girl “survival guide.” So Much More shows how Christian girls can wage war with the world and win. The Botkin sisters focus on how young women can rise above their God-hating culture and change it for the better.

Today, countless young ladies face difficult problems and challenging questions. While many long for godly purpose in their lives, their bewilderment mounts when they observe broken homes, distant fathers, overwhelmed mothers, degrading college courses, and a lack of spiritual guidance — both at home and at church. As hope for security and stability fades, it is no wonder that many young ladies feel orphaned, unprotected, and without hope for their futures.

Within the pages of this book, discover practical, biblical solutions for the young woman who wants to do so much more than just “survive” in a savagely feministic, anti-Christian culture. Find the answers a girl is not likely to get from her church, her peers, or her culture.

“You hold in your hands a rare gem, the fruit of godly parenting, biblical mentoring and thoroughly scriptural teaching. Its vision is one that should awaken every daughter to the calling she has to advance the kingdom of God.”  Jennie Chancey co-author of Passionate Housewives Desparate for God.

“As the father of five dautghters, I feel the weight of my call to protect them. This book, with wisdom, charity, logic and beauty, not only deepened that weight, but lightened the load. These young ladies have honoured their parents and have served generations to come.  I encourage fathers, mothers, daughters and sons to read this book - and that covers everyone.”  RC Sproul Jr.

“In So Much More the writers…have managed to expose the feminist lies that have indoctrinated our western culture and even crept into the church.  While the two young maidens wisely point our daughters to God’s Word and to the protection and leadership of their Daddy, they also show young ladies how serving one’s father as a daughter at home truly glorifies the Lord.” Stacy McDonald co-author of Passionate Housewives Desparate for God.

This book is a real breath of fresh air!  I enjoyed every page, including and especially, the appendix with its expose of Marxism.  Good to read and work through with your daughter. Challenging, even for mothers.  A brilliant book. Hardcover. 620g.

If you’ve ever felt that your child wasn’t flourishing in school or simply needs something the professionals aren’t supplying, you’re ready to become a “guerrilla educator.” Revolutionary and inspiring, Guerrilla Learning explains what’s wrong (and what’s useful) about our traditional schools and shows you how to take charge of your family’s education to raise thinking, creative young people despite the constraints of traditional schooling.

Useful for parents and teachers alike, this valuable book closely examines how young people learn and illuminates its practical advice with many stories that make for both insightful and enjoyable learning. Whatever schooling venue parents choose, this book will help them instill a lifelong love of learning in their children.

Have you struggled to reconcile God’s vision of virtuous womanhood with worldly myths that marginalize and mock the role of the homemaker? Do you wrestle with cultural messages that demean the homemaker’s calling and exalt instead the emotionally androgynous power-woman—the wife whose worth is measured only by the degree of her self-ambition, the shape of her body, or her money-making skills? Delightfully fresh and honest, “Passionate Housewives Desperate for God” debunks the modern “desperate housewife” myth and provides fresh vision for the homemaker. Hear a former “Christian” feminist share how she went from a die-hard homemaker-in-training to a dedicated career woman, and then back again—after God gripped her heart. See the hollow counterfeit of whitewashed feminism and “me-ology” destroyed. And consider the beautiful picture painted in Scripture of the truly fulfilled homemaker who glories in the hopeful calling God created for her.

This book will encourage you a great deal, and will convict you even more. A great and needful book.

by Peter Leithart $35.00

Shakespeare was “a great observer,” able to see and depict patterns of events and character. He understood how politics is shaped by the clash of men with various colourings of self-interest and idealism, how violence breeds violence, how fragile human beings create masks and disguises for protection, how schemers do the same for advancement, how love can grow out of hate and hate out of love. Dare anyone say that these insights are irrelevant to living in the real world?

Literature abstracts from the complex events of life (just as we all do in everyday life) and can reveal patterns that are like the patterns of events in the real world. Studying Literature can give us sensitivity to those patterns.

Peter Leithart’s book is a must for any Christian family studying Shakespeare. Glorified as Shakespeare is, it is good to analyse his works in light of biblical thought. This book includes studies for two plays in each of 3 genres. History: HenryV & Julius Caesar; Tragedy: Hamlet & Macbeth; Comedy: The Taming of the Shrew & Much Ado About Nothing. A great resource! Age 12+ 286p, 400g.

A good companion to this guide is Tales From Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb.

This book is appropriate for older children who have read From Girl to Woman or From Boy to Man, depending upon gender. Explains not only where babies come from (very discreetly, of course), but how they fit into God’s glorious plan. Teaches the sanctity of life, & the importance of MARRIAGE first, no matter what the world says.

God’s Plan for the Marvelous Changes that Will Take Place!
For mothers & daughters to read together. Written after searching unsuccessfully for years for something similar. I wanted nothing like the secular books out there that just “laid out the facts” in all their starkness. After much prayer, the Lord gave me this book, which explains puberty’s changes as part of His plan for females. No imagination-provoking illustrations or descriptions.

God’s Plan for the Marvelous Changes that Will Take Place! The “boy’s book” only, this title is similar to From Girl…to Woman!, but for boys and their dads! Modestly and tactfully done, it explains all those things you need to talk about in a discreet way, as part of God’s plan for boys growing up.
