Dear Family [Hardcover]

Zig Ziglar (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1984

This uplifting collection of Zig Ziglar’s personal letters paints a vivid portrait of a family in which love abounds—and serves as the foundation of every relationship. These letters reflect the innermost thoughts and feelings of a loving husband and devoted father who is totally committed to the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of his family. Ziglar offers valuable counsel on many of the dangers that face the contemporary family: drugs, alcohol, a sexually free society, and widespread acceptance of mediocrity. Spiritual strength and a commitment to God’s will, Ziglar believes, are the surest methods of combating these social ills.
