Rebekah graduated from the University of Richmond in 1994 an English major with concentrations in education and communications. A product of an excellent Christian education, Rebekah taught English and History for five years in a Christian school before their oldest daughter was born. A few years and a few more daughters later, homeschooling seemed like an easy way to ease into the schooling years. Eighteen years later, Rebekah is still homeschooling the last of their five daughters. She enjoys supporting her husband in his role as a pastor and counselor and always appreciates the opportunity to teach anything she can. History is a subject for which she has gained increasing passion and interest as she has homeschooled her children.

"At its heart, history is telling a story...a story which frames and shapes our lives today. As we tell the story to each other, we are transformed. As we see a story at work in our world, we understand the forces which shape the world in which we live. God himself is the Great Storyteller- writing that story with words and images in our imaginations and in our real-life experiences."
