    About this ebook

    Many feel bombarded by images and experiences of broken families. This is not how God intended families to be! So often we examine the traits of unhealthy families, but Gary Chapman paints a biblical portrait of what a loving, stable family looks like. This book is not just to be read, but experienced. Chapman details five timeless characteristics that create a healthy family environment:
    • A heart for service
    • Husbands and wives who relate intimately
    • Parents who guide their children
    • Children who obey and honor parents
    • Husbands who love and lead
    In Dr. Chapman's own words, "What happens to your family does make a difference not only to you and your children, but to the thousands of young observers who are in search of a functional family."

      This book was difficult to listen to while traveling or doing a chore because there was a big volume of information given to the reader in a short period of time. Most of the time when I was listening to it, I physically could not take written notes because of movement. Physical notes might have helped me to digest the information more thoroughly. One major theme of this book was; "the only person you have total control over is yourself." The author did a great job of bringing this theme home. He also reminded us that God is to guide us everyday. When I have time, I plan to read more of this author's work
