“I love being a dad, but to be honest, I’m an insecure one. I want
to be really good at this, but there are days when I wonder. This
is one of the many reasons I love Courtney’s book. She reminds us
that we should take parenting seriously, but not so much ourselves.
Love, giggles, and virtues are a lot more fun than perfection
anyway. This is a practical and encouraging guide for parents who
aren’t perfect but who want to get this extraordinary opportunity
right—and have fun along the way.”
—Jeff Henderson, lead pastor of Gwinnett Church, dad to Jesse and
Cole, and husband of Wendy

Pastor Steven Furtick, Elevation Church, Charlotte, NC

mom find the way to fill their home with love and laughter. And the
joy in their family will contagiously spill over and light up the
world around them."
