When I was growing up I never knew about disfunctional families. I thought we were one perfect family all going to church every Sunday. Now we have all grown and each have all our own family that the book seems (Just the vey few pages I read) it was written for me. I feel everyone should read this esp those who are still struggling to be obedient to God and has accepted our Saviour Jesus Christ. I would like to give the book to everyone in the family but the title might misled them thinking otherwise. I will pray and still give them. Thanks and God bless you all at CBD.

Lots of really good practical advice. We all have to remember that we are none of us without flaws and must learn to be tolerant of every person's differences and circumstances.

We read this book and applied it to our lives. It worked like magic. We had our very first successful family gathering. They wanted to do this every year. We are so glad that someone wrote a book on this topic in the busy world.
