John Notgrass. Historical actor, musician, and speaker.

Recommendations

"John Notgrass is the real deal. His messages carry EXTRA weight because he’s been there – done that, having been homeschooled himself. John’s view from the inside adds value to everything he discusses, giving credibility and some balance to the homeschool movement. His listeners will be encouraged and challenged by his presentations and even more so by the man, husband, and father he is. I give him two thumbs up (that’s all I have) and highly recommend him to you as potential speaker. Like I said, he’s the real deal, and I like that...and him."
Todd Wilson
Familyman and Founder of Familyman Ministries

"His presentations are Biblical, clear and sincere. What I appreciate most about John is his commitment to Christ and his solid Christian worldview. In an age of much confusion and minimization of Biblical living, John embodies the qualities of intentional living. Besides being an excellent speaker, he also is an historical re-enactor and singer/songwriter. I heartily recommend John Notgrass and encourage churches and home school organizations to book John for your next event."
John Thrower
President, The Family Vision Library, St. Charles, Missouri

"Our church is so grateful that you came and shared your music ministry with us. Everyone commented on what a great event it was! We were blessed by the content and delivery of the messages that were woven within your songs. Your thoughts displayed maturity, deep insight, discernment, and humor. You kept our minds sharp and our souls entertained. We appreciated the Biblically-sound content of your songs. The skill and ease of your performance was very enjoyable. But, one of the greatest blessings that I received was seeing a young man so right with God, and so able to encourage others by his very presence."

First-Person History

"It was almost like a time machine. John Notgrass transported the students back into another time period. Dressed in uniform (his grandfather's), John took students back into the youth of his grandfather and then carried them forward into WWII. The students were enthralled with his rendition of stories gleaned from the personal experiences of John's grandfather, what a treasure trove of history which John aptly shared with the classes! He fully put himself into the part and relived events, both sad and hilarious. I can barely wait for John's next presentation." (Tennessee)

"You are able to re-ignite an interest in history . . . I believe that your enthusiasm was contagious . . . " (Illinois)

"We were all touched by the sharing of your grandfather's life during WWII. Your love for history is apparent in the way you share." (Tennessee

"What a blessing [One Soldier's Story] was! . . . Thanks for stepping out in faith and for all the work that you put into interviewing your grandfather and preparing your presentation. I enjoyed it, was inspired to keep going and learned some new history. Thanks for your boldness in proclaiming the Lord and may He open up many doors for you to share." (Indiana)

"He was excellent." (North Carolina)

"What a memory you have (can you spare a few brain cells?) and a knack for story telling. We felt you really WERE the young man you portrayed [Sam Watkins], and you made us laugh and cry and envision the war in a personal, rather than merely factual, way." (Tennessee)

"I am ten and don't normally like people talking but I liked this." (North Carolina)

"John Notgrass needs to develop more characters and do it again!" (Indiana)

Music

"You have such talent as a song writer. It is wonderful to listen to your music and we are thankful you honor and praise God with your gift. Keep up the fantastic work. We look forward to your next CD." (Indiana)

"At times I think it will have to have it surgically removed from our CD player in the van. All the songs are known by heart. Even [the 2-year-old] can sing along with you, John. It is definitely the kids' favorite. Thank you so much for the songs from your family. They are truly a ministry." (Indiana)
