Simply put, this is a hands-on workbook to help you get your family on a solid spiritual foundation and keep it there. It is an eight-week plan designed for personal study on a daily basis and in a small discussion group once per week. We will take you on a journey of discovery of the Essential 8 Principles (E8)--the bedrock concepts you need to understand, believe and implement so as to build a family that is close, spiritual and thriving. And just who is E8 for? It is for all parents, from the youngest to the oldest, whether with a spouse or a single parent; from the classic Mom and Dad family to the blended family. The E8 principles are applicable and indispensable in every situation of life. Yes, much of what we write is directed at the two-parent, spiritually based family. But the principles of family building in this book are not limited to this situation; they are adaptable to others as well.

Book excerpt: “The Seven Laws of Love is insightful, compelling, inspiring, grounded, and immeasurably practical. We love this book! Everyone needs to read it. Don’t miss out on its powerful message.” —Drs. Les & Leslie Parrott, authors of Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts In our fast-paced, success-obsessed culture, we’re constantly tempted to chase after things that don’t matter. We’ve been conditioned to value possessions over people, status over relationships, and ourselves over God. But the reality is this: God created love to be the centerpiece of our lives. In The Seven Laws of Love, Dave Willis makes the case for a love revival and proves that in returning to a life of love we have no greater model than the one who is love himself. In Dave’s humorous, touching, down-to-earth style, The Seven Laws of Love takes you on a journey through the ins and outs of everyday relationships—with your spouse, your children, your friends, and your coworkers—using practical, applicable examples and guiding principles that demonstrate what a life of love actually looks like. There is no higher calling on earth than to love and be loved. It’s time to learn The Seven Laws of Love, and to make loving a priority over all other pursuits. Anything else isn’t really living.

This practical resource covers a variety of topics ranging from creating child protection policies to putting together lesson plans to catechism, helpful for children's ministers and volunteers alike as they disciple children with the powerful message of the gospel.
