Get ready to get challenged and inspired.
I've looked up to the Bethke family for a while now, so I knew this book was going to be awesome. His view on family building will challenge you in a truly uplifting and edifying way. It's definitely different than today's modern family model, even almost radical—but so much more intentional and fruitful. Married or single, you will learn so much from this book. I don't have a spouse or kids, but if I ever do, I will definitely read this book again and try to apply its principles in my own family life.
Loved the studies and statistics that were applied to the book, as well as the family spotlight on each chapter. The narration was top-notch, too. Genuine, inspiring, and just the right level of speed (if you know the author, you know he's notorious for talking fast haha).
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
