Five years ago, the Botkin siblings produced this documentary about the homeschooling movement after talking to their peers around the United States. In discussing the future of this movement, the film raised a number of controversial questions, examining the history of the movement and the character that would be required to sustain it into the second generation. Today, many of the problems addressed in this film are even more apparent.

The letters of Abigail Adams bear faithful and moving witness to one of the greatest epochs of world history: the American War for Independence. They also attest to the remarkable life of a wise and witty New England woman who was her husband's chief adviser and war correspondent, who raised and educated four children, managed a farm on a war-time budget, and served her country as its ambassadress and First Lady. This spell-binding narrative takes the listener from the bustling hub of Boston, to Penn's Hill, where Abigail stood with her son and watched the slaughter of her people and Charleston going up in flames, to the glittering courts of Europe, where she came face to face with the perpetrator of these crimes, King George III himself.Selected and edited by Anna Sofia Botkin, music by Anna Sofia Botkin, sound design by Lucas Botkin.America has a remarkable, but largely unknown, legacy of strong, intelligent, Christian womanhood.

Memoirs

How does a wife help her husband be the man Christ wants him to be? How can she inspire him to love her? How can she discover the forgotten joys of being the helper God designed her to be? Victoria, beloved wife of Geoffrey Botkin and mother of seven, follows the injunctions in Titus 2 to address a host of practical topics for wives. In this audio from the popular "Evenings With Victoria Botkin" webinar series, listen to Victoria discuss subjects like woman's great power, sinful tendencies, independence vs. submission, beauty, dress, makeup, respect, hospitality, pitfalls of perfectionism in homemaking, Hollywood expectations, trials, trust, and cultivating personality. Throughout, she responds to questions from women. "My sweet sister in Christ, Victoria Botkin, is a loving and kind woman who exudes what the Word describes in Proverbs 31. What an incredible blessing it is to know her, for to know her tender persona is to truly love her. I so admire her obedience to the Lord. Victoria is most ardently a Titus 2 woman. She can always be caught affectionately and tenderly guiding some younger woman, and on occasion an older woman, right back to the unfailing Word of God. I admire this woman of bountiful wisdom and pray God's richest blessings on her and her beautiful family. These sessions will encourage and benefit any woman who partakes of them." - Bridget Baucham, wife of Dr. Voddie Baucham"After meeting and spending time with Victoria Botkin, I remember telling my husband how much I appreciated her sound advice and sage wisdom. I told him that she was the kind of woman that was needed in many of our churches - wise and kind in her speech, honoring and supportive of her husband, welcoming to strangers (of which I was one), and well read. I was amazed to find a woman like this and wished that I could have had more time to reap from her wisdom and practical advice." - Brenda Swanson, wife of Kevin Swanson

Ever been confused about friendships with boys? How to handle crushes? How friendly is too friendly? How close is too close? What to do when a guy is being way too friendly? What guys think about all this? What it means to be a "sister, in all purity"? Guy-girl relationships have always been complicated, but perhaps never more so than today. It's (Not That) Complicated is a humorous, hopeful, and deeply thought-provoking new look at guy-girl relationships in our times. Dealing practically with such complications as online interaction, Hollywood expectations, undefined relationships, and unrequited love, the Botkin sisters offer enduring biblical principles that can make it all much simpler."How do young men and young women interact with one another when marriage is not in view? Can young men and young women be 'friends'? And how does a young woman guard her heart, preserve her purity, and walk in integrity without treating young men with disdain? In It's (Not That) Complicated, Anna Sofia and Elizabeth Botkin address these and other questions with wisdom, grace, transparency, and biblical acuity." - Dr. Voddie Baucham Jr.
