4.0 out of 5 stars thought provoking messages for parents of all ages, September 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Home with a Heart (Hardcover)

This little book is a source of invaluable insight. My husband and I read one message a night and feel we get great benefit from the wisdom imparted and the special quiet time, as well. Dobson's years of experience with families and children shines through in the poignant passages and ideas presented. This book helps us think about family and child-rearing issues before we face them. Overall, it's a great read for all parents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent advice on marriage and children, November 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Home with a Heart (Hardcover)

Dr. Dobson has compiled this thought-provoking book on child-rearing and marriage. He obviously has "been there" with stories and also professional insight into many subjects on children and relationships. I would highly recommended this wonderful, beautifully-done book! I have not read any of his publications before, but I am anxious to look for them in the future.
