What Others Are Saying…
“My husband is reading your book aloud to our family. It’s been a tremendous blessing and many great conversations have come out of it. Sometimes we get carried away and it’s way past their bedtimes (lol).” –K
“A few weeks ago we finished up reading through your book. My husband would read the chapter, with the children looking up the verses to read them aloud, then we would discuss the questions. I must tell you, it was a wonderful tool and provided meaningful conversations between family members. The questions were well thought out to provoke discussion. We loved the relevant points that were backed up with Scripture. In all, it is a sensible guide to improve ALL relationships, between husband and wife, parent and child, and siblings. Thanks for writing it!” –M
“A much needed tool that decodes the life giving, eternal impact of each relationship in the home! Easy to read for group or individual devotions, this book beautifully describes growing up in a purposeful, Christian family with great suggestions on how to implement truths that really make a difference. Highly recommended for fathers who want to encourage and build meaningful family relationships.” —Curtis Bowers, entrepreneur, award-winning filmmaker, speaker, and father of nine.
