review strong family book

Rowdy Review

What I love about this book is Phil’s ability to take frequently un-glamorous, but always hilarious and self-deprecating, stories to clearly illustrate an aspect of family that I’ve never considered before. These guys think about family on a level that I never have. Better still they show HOW they are learning (still) to LIVE family on such an awesome level.

Perfect? No… the stories make that clear. But courageous, purposeful, big-hearted and creating such a strong sense of belonging that others in their community seek to join in on the Strong family adventures.

Thanks for making this book so PRACTICAL and HELPFUL. I know I am going to become more intentional from now on.

Phil and Kathy are legends and I think we’ll be saying the same about their children one day. Thanks for sharing!

While my family was not perfect they gave me the best chance I had for a good start in life. But I do realise this is not the case for every person. (more…)
