I was sitting in the audience when this talk was recorded, soaking in all the lovely thoughts that Leah shared about the power of biography to inspire us and our children. Now you, too, can listen in!

Thousands of biographies are on the shelves here, just waiting to fall into the hands of some young mind. If you are local and have been curious about membership, now is a great time to visit and see if membership will bless your family this school year! 📚♥️

Leah Boden explains the powerful role of biography in a Charlotte Mason education. Recorded live at the 2025 Living Education Retreat.

“We don’t read biographies just to find out what happened. We read them to find out what might happen in us.” Leah Boden

Pictured is a sampling of the goodness I shared during a Small Talk on Living Biography Series last weekend. It was such a privilege to share about something so dear to me at the Living Education Retreat, which never fails to produce a wealth of ideas and beauty. This year, Leah Boden’s plenary reminded us of the vital importance of biography in a living education, bringing forth ideas to our children that cultivate character, provide perspective on the world in which they live, and give them hope as they aspire to use their God-given gifts in their own community.

Whether you are a member of the Living Education Library, a home educating family, or your children attend traditional school, sharing living biographies with your children is a gift not to be missed 📚♥️.
