The Deuteronomy 28 Woman

Our dear friend Andrea over at www.ahthelife.blogspot.com adds some excellent insights and observations to our last post "But What If…?".

Dear Anna Sofia and Elizabeth,

Just wanted to write and thank you both for your latest article on "But What If". You handled so well what can be a touchy and emotionally fraught question. And one that many girls would probably like to avoid.

I was just reading this morning in Deut. 28 - the verses speaking of the 'tender and delicate woman' who ends up cannibaliz

But What If…?

Hello Anna and Elizabeth,

…I have one question concerning your book and the mindset my father has raised me and my siblings on. My father believes that it is right to send me and my sister to college to develop skills in our area of interest (like, for me, it is music) so that we have a degree and real-world skills to fall back on just in case something may happen in the future and we need to work. …My father is extremely practical and wants to prepare us for the real world well enough because h

Illustrated Timeline of the Reformation

[image error]

Often referred to as "the most important event in history", the Protestant Reformation was actually a sequence of amazing events which exploded across Europe in the 16th century and changed history forever. Our family's latest finished project is an illustrated timeline that introduces key Reformers, maps out strategic locations and orders the sequence of Providential historical events, chronologically.

Printed in full colour on heavy paper, the timeline measures 14″ high by 39″ long. You can or

Resurrecting Two Great Queens

We think it is important for us to study the great women of the past — to be inspired by their examples, to learn from their mistakes, to study how God uses people for His glory.

For the Reformation 500 Celebration in Boston two weeks ago, we were given the opportunity to come as historical reenactors — a new experience for both of us, but one we're very grateful for.

I [Elizabeth:] chose to portray Anne Boleyn, surely one of the most maligned and misrepresented women in history, for the

Our Father: Geoffrey Botkin

This Father’s Day, we would like to talk a bit about the man we are privileged to call our father.

All our lives people have asked us what it’s like to be the daughters of Geoffrey Botkin, a man who inspires people with both awe and curiosity. Today he is becoming known as a visionary with seven activist children, a background in nearly every area of study, and a plan for international reformation. However, his understated modesty and relatively low profile make him mysterious to some.

What Hath Darwin Wrought?

The 500th and 200th anniversaries of Calvin’s and Darwin’s births, respectively, have been the subjects much academic discussion and debate this year. Here our father weighs in on how Charles Darwin’s birth revolutionized the course of the last two hundred years — important reading for every young woman seeking to understand her times.

Happy Birthday, David!

We are so grateful to God for our big brother David. From the beginning, David was a rough-and-tumble manly man who had great tenderness and affection for his sisters. He always had a lot of respect for the capabilities of the female mind, and started early introducing us to the wonderful world of military history, just war theory, economics, computer technology, biblical law, jungle snafus and self-defense, and how to tie our shoes. He gave us a great appreciation for manliness and the world of
