This is what it is all about.
To Survive and Prosper: It’s Time to Think
Strategically About Your Children, Your
Household, and Your Family Culture!strat-e-gies: The art of devising or employing plans or stratagems toward a goal.
If you are a Christian parent living in the twenty-first century, you need to think strategically about your family. Settling for the priorities and practices of the world is a proven formula for disaster. As parents, we must do more than settle. We must self-consciously choose. This requires strategic biblical thinking. It means self-consciously building your family culture. And whether the subject is entertainment choices, home décor, travel, music in the home, or dealing with antagonistic relatives, it means that wise, Scripturally-informed parents must think creatively as they aggressively engage impediments and obstacles to success.

I like VF and there are many things I would like to have, but right now it would be “An English Family in the American Wilderness” read by Victoria Botkin.
Thank you for the chance to win. I am a email subscriber.
Penny,
A tutorial on sewing a skirt or any beginners machine sewing project would be great. My daughter and I are learning to machine sew. I’ve done home decorating projects, but no clothes yet. That’s what we would be interested in learning.
Thanks for considering this, Michelle

I do believe I would like at least one of everything from Vision Forum, our family supports them 100%! I do have a long list of wish list items, but the next one on my list is What is Biblical Femininity? DVD Cultivating Sturdy Virtue in Today’s Daughters.
Thank you so much for this giveaway! Someone will be truly blessed by it!

I “liked” this giveaway post.
I have attempted to add your button to my sidebar, but am having trouble with the code working. I am putting the code in an html gadget on my sidebar as I do all my buttons, but only the code itself shows up in the sidebar. Also, I’m wondering if you have a button for the Jumpin Bloomers site. My readers are searching for modest dress sites and I would really like a button for your site to put in my sidebar. If you need any help creating a button, please let me know. I’m always eager to help.

I have subscribed to your bookstore.
I have so many favorite VF products, it’s REALLY hard to choose. The Passionate Housewives book is one of my tops though. I just bought the Christianity and Western Civilization course though and it looks fantastic!
I would like to see a book on making soap without the lye process.
I’ve added your Jumpin Bloomers to my Modest Clothing Link List at http://sheshallbecalledwoman.blogspot.com.
My most wanted item would be any of the Vision Forum’s books and cd’s on raising sons.
So excited for this giveaway, thanks so much!!
