Fortunately, similar to the previous title, we don’t have anything to list here. Again, every time something came up that we may have included as concerning it was beautifully addressed by a loving Christian family

Our Thoughts
This is the follow-on to the first book in the series that we indicated was our favorite book we have ever reviewed for Christian families. While we typically stick to the first book in the series to help give parents broad coverage across the many titles out there, we loved this series so much we had to review this second book as well. This book continues along that same path of showing a beautiful example of how a Christian family should operate. In addition, this title specifically does a great job of handling the challenges and beauty that can come during a major family move. Again, our faith is on full display in a family context. This one is HIGHLY Recommended!

Scripture Reflection
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
— James 1:19-25
