BUILDING FAMILY TIES WITH FAITH, LOVE & LAUGHTER

Christian author Dave Stone says that strong families don't just happen--they become strong when the adults in the house help everyone live according to traditional Christian principles. Mission statements, family dinner time, and limiting situations that risk sin are some of his suggestions, along with reminders of the importance of loyalty and mutual support. Stone supports these practical suggestions with biblical references and his unshakable belief in the value of a Christian foundation. Tom Parks's conversational tone and energetic delivery serve this back-to-basics book well. His likability keeps listeners glued to his every word and committed to considering every part of the author's positive message, even when some of his suggestions for protecting teenagers from temptations sound like they're come from another era.
