About the Botkin Family
The Botkin family have been called "America's most visionary family." They are presently in the United States speaking about issues related to family discipleship and cultural reformation. Their pursuits and lifestyle have attracted attention of families who want to know how to live, survive and prosper spiritually in a nation that will become increasingly anti-family and anti-Christian in the next several years.
Geoffrey and Victoria Botkin have five sons and two daughters, all of whom have been home educated and trained to be leaders in today's culture wars. The family's adventures have captured the imagination of Americans who want to know more about the blessings of counter-cultural living, entrepreneurial adventure and multigenerational discipleship. All seven children (ages 14-28) will be in Columbus, Ohio July 10th and 11th to answer questions about home education, cultural leadership and the 21st century, and to speak in very candid terms about the importance of the family.
Geoffrey Botkin is an author, business leader, and humanitarian who currently heads an executive solutions firm. He has been an articulate advocate of home education since 1981, when he produced America's first national television special on the subject, and is considered an expert on education issues faced by western nations. He has lectured on philosophy and history at Hillsdale College, on politics at the Heritage Foundation, on music and art at the San Antonio Christian Film Academy, where he serves on the faculty. His fascinating career includes ten years as a high-level political consultant in Washington.
