Well, hello, everyone. I'm James Dobson, and you're listening to Family Talk, a listener-supported

ministry. In fact, thank you so much for being part of that support for James Dobson

Family Institute.

Well, welcome back to Family Talk, the broadcast division of the Dr. James Dobson Family

Institute. I'm Roger Marsh, and on today's classic program, we're going to hear the conclusion

of a heartfelt conversation between Dr. Dobson and Judy Squire, an excellent author, a

godly woman with an inspiring story of turning hardship into glory for the kingdom. Judy

is doing great work to encourage people to grow deeper in their relationship with the

Lord. In yesterday's interview, Judy opened up about her very difficult childhood. She

was born with a rare birth defect, which left her with deformed legs and only three

fingers on one of her hands. The doctors, along with Judy's parents, tried to give her

the best quality of life they could, but eventually the decision was made to amputate the

problematic part of her legs so that she could walk on prosthetic limbs. Judy had the

support and protection of her parents to be sure, and her childhood was filled with much

love, faith, persistence, and grit, but in spite of having those advantages, at times,

the outside world could still be a hurtful place for this little girl. So let's listen

into the conclusion of this fascinating conversation with Dr. James Dobson and Judy Squire right

here, right now, on Family Talk.

Judy, we talked about your childhood, and we talked about what your experiences were

like, what happened when you became a teenager? You're 13, 14, 15. Those are the toughest

years of life, anyway, for everybody almost. You said yesterday that you had low self-esteem.

Some people sneer at that and say, well, that's just a psychological bunk, but I'm telling

...
