Who cares about a book business if my kids don't have their mom, and I’m not present with them?" ~ Lindsay Vroegindewey

How do you foster biblical character in your kids through reading? In this inspiring Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast episode, Aby Rinella chats with Lindsey Vroegindewey about creating a collection of books that reflect your family’s values. Lindsey explains how she launched Big Sky Life Books in response to the difficulty of finding safe, quality stories in public libraries today.

Lindsey’s situation is a powerful reminder that God can turn attacks into blessings!
