5.0 out of 5 stars Godly parenting advice., March 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Yes, They're All Ours: Six of One, Half a Dozen of the Other (Paperback)

Rick and Marilyn certainly encouraged me!!! As the mother of seven beautiful blessings from God, I am thankful for the Godly example put forth by this couple. The book is entertaining and informative! It's an "I don't want to put it down until I'm finished" type of book. Easy reading. Rick certainly has a way with words (and children). This book is a must for any married couple. It will give you a whole new attitude toward children and the blessing that they are.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic theology for families and how to raise them, July 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Yes, They're All Ours: Six of One, Half a Dozen of the Other (Paperback)

I have read this book twice. It is a really funny book, and very thought provoking. Rick and Marilyn will encourage your walk with the Lord and strengthen your home.My copy did seem to have a lot of annoying type-os, but again, the content is first rate! Before you marry and begin a family, read this book. It would make a great gift for a Godly couple getting married. I hope to meet the Boyers one day!

This review is from: Yes, They're All Ours (Paperback)

This book is a fantastic read overall, though I would rather have seen more theological development and less emphasis on the author's personal journey of faith and foibles. Generally speaking, the book is an uplifting look at trusting God to plan and provide for children. The real miracle is that he found the time to write a book while running his own business and raising twelve kids! :)
