In 2005, Vision Forum sparked a small but mighty movement by publishing a book written by two teenagers, Anna Sofia & Elizabeth Botkin: "So Much More." These daughters preached skipping college & careers to stay home under their father's "headship," learning to be helpmeets to their future husbands.

Vision Forum published all kinds of materials on biblical patriarchy. Its stated mission was to "reinforce godly masculinity and femininity," which included selling these knock-off American Girl dolls to "fill your daughter's childhood with memories to inspire her as she grows up to be a mommy."
