The successful family is a dying breed, and in today's culture it seems like having a happy family is about as likely as winning the lottery. But positive marriages and lovable children are more than possible with a little direction from families who have survived challenges and overcome them - together. Youth specialist Jim Burns suggests families follow ten proven principles learned from healthy families who have survived trials such as financial struggles, impossible teenage years, and unexpected tragedies.
Jim Burns, PhD, founded the ministry HomeWord in 1985 with the goal of bringing help and hope to struggling families. As host of the radio broadcast HomeWord With Jim Burns, heard daily in over eight hundred communities, Jim's passion is to build God-honoring families through communicating practical truths that will enable adults and young people alike to live out their Christian faith.
In addition to the radio program, Jim speaks to thousands around the world each year through seminars and conferences. He is an award-winning author, whose books include The 10 Building Blocks for a Happy Family and Creating an Intimate Marriage.
Jim and his wife, Cathy, and their three daughters live in Southern California.
