"God transformed Gary's life through his grace and the practical advice of wise mentors. Those lessons are passed along in this powerful and insightful book."--John Fuller, cohost of Focus on the Family

As a teenager, Gary Morland lived in an unhappy, dysfunctional family characterized by addiction and disharmony. When he started a family of his own, he brought with him those same destructive patterns.

In this life-giving book, Morland shares the timeless tools of family peace that will help you

This book will transform your family culture and your family legacy--starting with yourself.
