Let it simmer in your mind and heart, and enjoy the feast. Dean M. Johnson, D. Min.

Parenting is like being on a journey and not knowing where the next corner will be, how high the next hill will be and how deep the next valley will be. Dr. Hedberg helps equip parents with goals that are practical and lessons that effectively give direction. He

You will learn to equip your children to eventually leave home with a healthy emotional and spiritual confidence while building their self-esteem.
