Very Helpful Guide to Honoring Your Parents

This book is about writing a tribute from your heart to your parents. Dennis Rainey is a Christian, so the tone of the book is Biblical, but it is still a terrific guide for writing a tribute to anyone. The book addresses writing the tribute even if you suffered abuse or had distant parents. The act of honoring your parents is obeying one of the ten commandments, and you can honor them no matter what your relationship has been. The tribute is meant to stand alone to honor them, not to mend your entire life or theirs; just to get your thoughts out there to thank them for what they did and tried to do right. The book also talks about being deserving of honor yourself, and how to be a parent worthy of honor from your own children. Very rich book to help you write a priceless written gift to your parents and also for helping you become the best parent you can be. We used this book to write tributes for our parents before they died, and it was an unforgettable moment to see each one's heart melt at being honored in this way.

Wisdom

Small, easy read yet packed with wisdom and something valuable to think about. Written from experience and practice. I appreciate how good teachers, leaders, as well as (IMHO) good writers practice and experience what they offer or suggest before offering or passing their experience or wisdom on. What a greatly timed reminder as technology continues to tempt me to speed up my daily life and replace important relationships that have their days numbered with less important, "urgent" tasks or things to do. Thank you Dennis Rainey and Dave Boehi for taking time to encourage us to encourage our parents so that it may continue to go well, so that we can begin new chapters in the history of our families ancestry...and most importantly, so that we grow up into people they, and our Heavenly Father, can be proud to call children.
