Rea Berg, author and founder of Beautiful Feet Books talks today about another passion of her—besides children's literature—her love of the incarcerated and how she and her husband of 41 years have recently switched their "church home" to the California Men's Colony here in San Luis Obispo.  It all started with books and story—teaching her own children, creating Beautiful Feet Books to bring classics back to life, creating curriculum and then seeing the transformative power of storytelling and the Word changing the lives of those maybe most forgotten in our society.  REA WILL HOST A TWO-BOOK GIVEAWAY THIS WEEK--TWO OF HER FAVORITE CHILDREN'S BOOK FOR TWO DIFFERENT WINNERS. COMMENT TO BE ENTERED! For the book giveaway, she will present the 75th Anniversary Edition of Abraham Lincoln by Ingri and Edgar Parin D'Aulaire, and the beautiful exclusive edition of Anno's China by Mitsumasa Anno.    Rea teaches a weekly course to help men earn a four-year seminary degree through The Urban Ministry Institute, and her husband, Russ mentors groups of 12 for discipleship and accountability through Yolkfellow Prison Ministry.  Some gems from today's podcast: Men behind bars are exactly like you and me, deep down in their heart and personhood. When you're put away, you have to draw upon a depth they most of us don't ever have to do, simply to live with contentment, joy and hope. My faith has been strengthened by the faith of these men who've experienced salvation to the uttermost, past all regret and remorse, experiencing full repentance. Seeing Jesus in these believers in prison convinced me anew of the transformative power of redemption and how good our God is. Rea Berg loves seeing abandoned and broken things brought back to life, like antique houses, classic children's books, and especially lives—like those of the menshe is privileged to work with at her local prison. Rea has had the honor of bringing many classic children's books back into print, such as the D'Aulaire biographies, the Journey books of Mitsumasa Anno, the works of James Daugherty, the Obadiah books, and many more. Through her company Beautiful Feet Books, she has crafted numerous guides for teaching history and geography through literature. Rea has a graduate degree in children's literature from Simmons College, Boston. Follow Rea on Instagram at reaberg, or email her at rea@bfbooks.com. Rea blogs on children's literature at reaberg.com.

Rea Berg loves books and stories. She has become quite the collector of them through the years as she homeschooled her six children and then later went on to found Beautiful Feet Books. On today's show Rea joins me to chat about how we can use literature to teach history from story. We will be chatting about some of the challenges homeschool families face in the teaching of history, why stories and living books make an effective approach to history study, and how to pivot from using textbooks to using living books instead -- even in middle and high school. Enjoy!

Rea Berg, founder of Beautiful Feet Books, talks about fueling our children’s reading habits and cultivating storytellers at home.

I recorded this episode with Rea Berg all the way back in May. It was originally supposed to air over the summer, but life got busy, I took some time off and then due to other contracts I wasn’t able to air it in the fall. So, we are going to get it out there now. Better late than never right?  Rea Berg loves organic gardening, farmer’s markets, rich espresso, yoga, Paris, and English literature. Rea has brought many classic children's books back into print, such as the D’Aulaire biographies, the Journey books of Mitsumasa Anno, the Obadiah books, and many more.  Through her company Beautiful Feet Books, she has crafted guides for teaching history and geography through literature. Rea has a graduate degree in children's literature from Simmons College, Boston. Her favorite thing in the world is spending time with her children and grandchildren. Follow Rea on Instagram at reaberg, or email her at rea@bfbooks.com. Rea blogs on children's literature at reaberg.com.  We have used a few of Beautiful Feet Books programs through the years and have been blown away by the high-quality literature included, and the ease of use for both parent and child. But, this episode is not just a plug for Beautiful Feet. I promise. Rea and I chat about literature and how we can grow amazing kids through amazing books.
