Conference participant, Carey Dudkovsky, Executive Vice-President of the Foundation for American Christian Education, said, “Mrs. Ames’s life and work are an inspiration to parents, grandparents, teachers, administrators, and scholars.” The Foundation for American Christian Education commends the life and contribution of Mrs. Ames to the field of Biblical Classical education and America’s Christian history and heritage.Bobbie Ames was born in Washington, North Carolina, attended Greensboro College, then East Carolina Teacher’s College, now East Carolina University, majoring in Elementary Education.

Mrs. Ames’s articles ran in The Alabama Gazette from 2009–2019. A selection from that collection of articles has been transformed into this amazing book that we hope will inspire Americans to return to our spiritual foundations that are moored to God, Family, and Country.Based on and updated from the press release from the Foundation for American Christian Education (FACE) in The Alabama Gazette (December 2016).ver menos
