The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast
Books entertain us but they also build us into the people we are. This conversation with Geoff and Janet Benge is about the kind of books that can change a family for good. In this warm and deeply encouraging episode, Ginny talks with the husband-and-wife team behind the bestselling and series about how true stories form courage, imagination, resilience, and faith, often in ways we don’t even notice until years later. Their own story is remarkable too: —one dyslexic, one once in remedial reading—who went on to write dozens of biographies that have shaped readers around the world. This episode is a beautiful reminder that shared reading is never just educational; it becomes part of the fabric of a home.
