From the Book
“This book is not a family management guide. It is not a list of handy tips. It is not about self-help. In a way, this book is an investment proposal. God is calling you to live your present life for the sake of your future family. This book will help you live now with an audacious faith in Christ, which your future generations will be unable to ignore or forget.”
