One of the most insightful leaders in America is Steve Stroope. We've been friends since teenagers, coworkers in ministry together for almost 40 years, and we're always learning from each other. Now Steve has tackled one of the most critical needs today: building strong families. We can't have strong churches, communities, or nations without strong families. Families are foundational. The greatest single influence on my life and leadership was the strong family I grew up in. It Starts at Home is one of the most important books to read this year. Rev.

Rick Warren - Founding Pastor of Saddleback Community Church and author of The Purpose Driven Life Faith-formation begins at home - for better or worse. No one has done more to make that reality clear and practical than my friend and partner, Kurt Bruner. I urge every leader to read It Starts At Home as a first step toward joining one of the most important movements of this generation. Dr. John Trent - President of the Center for Strong Families and author of The Blessing If the local church is the hope of the world then we must take seriously the church's responsibility to call couples, parents and grandparents to create God-honoring homes. Only then will we see the tide of declining generational faith transfer turn. I encourage you to use this book as a tool to spark a movement among those within your sphere of influence. Rev.
