ANNA SOPHIA and ELIZABETH BOTKIN are the daughters of Geoff and Victoria Botkin of New Zealand. Along with their five brothers, the Botkin sisters were raised in a home by parents who continually sought Scriptural counsel in order to bring their children up in the fear and admonition of the Lord. In their book entitled So Much More Anna Sophia and Elizabeth share how they and their parents allowed Scripture to define the roles of the family members in God's kingdom, as well as the incomparable joy that comes from rejecting worldly expectations and, instead, living according to God's eternal truths.

GEOFFREY BOTKIN has lectured on philosophy and history at Hillsdale College, on politics at the Heritage Foundation, and on theology at worldview conferences in the U.S. and New Zealand. He has a passion for leading other men to study and fully accept their God-given responsibilities to their families and churches. Mr. Botkin contributed heavily to his daughters' book So Much More by providing insight into the devastation that takes place in families, the church, and the government when men reject the instruction of God in favor of the modern-day teachings in many churches that reduce men to being "check writers" and "driving kids to youth groups." His list of The Top Ten Lies That Rule the Lives of Modern Fathers is truly a must-read for fathers and mothers who seek to raise children who will advance God's kingdom by living lives according to Scriptural truths. The Botkin family, whose seven children range in age from 12- 26, are currently traveling in the United States and speaking together about issues of family discipleship and multigenerational vision. They have worked together on significant projects involving international business, politics, and media, and have helped many families worldwide discover forgotten dynamics of Christian family culture. They will answer questions about entrepreneurial business, courtship, home education priorities, college, adult children in family businesses, and how to build influential and successful multigenerational legacies. They are the founders of The Western Conservatory of the Arts and Science, and are completing pre-production research on two feature films. They will release several documentaries in the coming months.

JIM BOB and MICHELLE DUGGAR married July 21st, 1984. At that time, they chose to use the birth control pill. They thought, “We don’t want children right now. We can’t afford them. We want children in our timing, when we’re ready.” Four years later they decided to have their first child. Then, Michelle went back on the pill, but she conceived and had a miscarriage. At that point they talked with a Christian medical doctor and read the fine print in the contraceptives package. They found that while taking the pill you can get pregnant and then miscarry. They were grieved! They were Christians! They were pro-life! They realized that their selfish actions had taken the life of their child. They prayed and asked God to forgive them, and to teach them to love children like He loves children. They asked God to bless them with as many children as He saw fit in His timing. Right after that Michelle got pregnant with twins! To date they have been blessed with 16 children, (10 boys and 6 girls) Joshua, Jana & John-David (twins), Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah & Jeremiah (twins), Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah (& Jennifer due July 28, 2007). God has opened many doors for them to share that children are a blessing from the Lord! They have been featured on four Discovery Health/TLC documentaries entitled, 14 Children and Pregnant Again!, 16 Children and Moving In, Raising 16 Children! and On The Road With 16 Children! They have appeared on national and international TV shows including The Early Show, The Today Show, The View, Italian Public Television, KBS (Korean Broadcasting System), Discovery Home & Health (UK & Australia), Jimmy Kimmel Live, Fox News Network, CNN, MSNBC and others. They have done numerous interviews with radio talk show hosts around the world as well as magazine and newspaper articles in China, India, New Zealand, Australia, France and Germany. The Duggar’s desire is to make Christ known and for others to see that the Bible is the owner’s manual for life. As a family project the Duggars just finished building their 7000 sqft. home debt free! Both Jim Bob and Michelle are licensed real estate agents and are also instructors of Jim Sammon’s Financial Freedom Seminar.
