Saddle up your camels, ladies, we're off to battle! A free-wheeling commentary of a lady who believes that women belong in combat, certainly not in the military, but in the home -- in the spiritual battle for their families. Join us on the frontlines as we cover homeschooling, the culture wars, raising sons, virtuous manhood and womanhood, helping our husbands, femininity, serving Christ the King, and all other fronts in the holy war we face. Up camels!

Hey Melanie,
I really enjoyed your presentation Monday at Kennebec. I can not seem to find the Biblical flashcards that you brought. Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Amanda

Hi Amanda!

The flashcards are published by Veritas Press (under history resources). I had a set of Bible cards and a set of History cards, perhaps more than one. Hope that helps!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the presentation!

Love,
Melanie
