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 to Family Talk. I'm Roger Marsh. You know, being a parent can be challenging,

and at the same time, very rewarding. Dr. James Dobson once said, children represent God's

most generous gift to us. And for those who have no choice but to go it alone as a single

parent, those demands are even greater. In today's Classic Family Talk program, we're going

to hear from best-selling author and speaker Angela Thomas Farr. She'll share what she went

through as she found herself newly divorced with four young children. Angela will also

talk about two of her books, the first one entitled, My Single Mom Life, and the second

one, Tender Mercies for a Mother's Soul, Inspiration to Renew Your Spirit. Angela Thomas Farr

is an alumna of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She has earned her seminary

degree from Dallas Theological Seminary. In the course of time, she met a wonderful man

named Scott, and they have been married now for over 15 years. Together, they have four

grown kids and several grandchildren. Angela's testimony is truly encouraging as she is living

proof of God's redeeming love. And now, let's join Angela Thomas Farr and our own Dr. James Dobson,

right here on Family Talk.

Well, the single mom book is entitled, My Single Mom Life. Angela Thomas, you have four

children. I do, two girls and two boys. You don't look old enough to have four children, and

most of them are either teenagers or about to be. They are nine to seventeen, and I'm old enough

to have had at least four more. As you have written in this book, having four kids either approaching

the teen years or they're already is an exhausting responsibility. You write about them.
