5.0 out of 5 stars From Radio to Your Library, April 7, 2007
This review is from: The 10 Building Blocks for a Happy Family (Paperback)
I listen to Jim Burns' "HomeWord" program fairly often --- he tends to have guests that I enjoy. Burns is one of my favorite writers on family topics. This book is well-written and points you in the direction of wise priorities as you build your family --- even if you are starting over after divorce.
