The War in our Front Yard (CD Set) – narrated by Victoria Botkin
Thousands of battles were fought during the War between the States which never made it into the history books – the battles the women and children of the south fought against worry, loneliness and fear. But throughout the mighty struggle the women and children of the South kept up their faith. And though many of them lost every material thing they owned, they never lost their trust in God, in their menfolk and in their cause.
This is the story of their courage, their fortitude, their sacrifice…and their victory. This 5-CD audiobook features excerpts from the journals and letters of these women, read by Victoria Botkin and enhanced with period music and sound effects.

It’s Not That Complicated (Anna Sofia Botkin & Elizabeth Botkin)
How to Relate to Guys in a Healthy, Sane, and Biblical Way
Ever been confused about friendships with boys? How does a girl handle crushes? How friendly is being too friendly? How close is too close? Or, what do you do when a guy is being way too friendly? And what do guys think about all this? What does it mean to be a “sister, in all purity”? (1 Timothy 5:2)
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.

The War Between the States: Study Guide (John J. Dwyer)
Few events in America’s history have been as influential – or as complicated – as the bloody war between our Southern and Northern states. No other event has so vividly underscored our strengths and weaknesses as a people and as a nation, and no other event has so changed our citizenry and our government.
In order to more clearly explain this conflict, John J. Dwyer has compiled documents on the development of social and religious ideas that preceded secession and war. The battles are described in detail and strategic context, depicting their effect on soldiers and civilians alike. At the war’s conclusion, there were further changes to society, attitudes, and legislation.
This study guide is provided to accompany the 700-page hardcover book The War Between the States: America’s Uncivil War. Exercises are provided for each of the book’s 38 chapters. Features include detailed chapter summaries, lists of identification terms and fill-in-the blank completion exercises, timeline exercises, suggestions for essays, and thought questions.
