A Page From the Book
Read an Excerpt
What Every Father, Mother, and Parent Needs to Know
A home is built long before the walls go up. It is built in the words parents choose, the patience they show, and the example they set when no one seems to be watching.
The pages that follow gather counsel for fathers, mothers, and all who carry the sacred work of raising a family.
Volume 1
Norman Svelund
Children rarely remember the lecture. They remember the evening a parent stayed up to help, the apology given after a hard word, the steady presence at the end of a long day.
This volume continues the gathering of wisdom on love, discipline, and devotion within the home.
