2018 CONVENTION

As a Christian songwriter and music producer, Jenny Phillips has shared her love of music across the world, speaking at over 1,100 events in 23 countries and selling over a million CDs. When Jenny’s children began going to school, she turned toward another one of her passions–education. Jenny began homeschooling in an effort to provide a faith-based, high-academic education focused on building noble character. Not wholly satisfied with any curriculum she could find, she began creating her own “dream” curriculum, utilizing her life-long love and study of literature and history. In August 2015, she launched The Good & The Beautiful. Thousands of hours and tens of thousands of dollars have gone into this curriculum, much of which is offered for free, in an effort to help children seek out and appreciate the good and the beautiful in life and in learning.

Jenny has a life-long love of literature and learning and received a degree in English from Brigham Young University. While in college, and after college, Jenny worked as a writer and editor before having her first child. Jenny has written three best-selling books for youth. Driven by the goal to help lead others to literature that is of high moral, literary, and educational value, Jenny has spent thousands of hours studying literature and its effects on character development, reviewing books, and running a national reading program.

Jenny lives in Utah with her husband and five children. In addition to music, motherhood, and good literature, Jenny loves family history, volleyball, gardening, exercising, and cooking.
