You're listening to Family Talk, the radio broadcasting division of the James Dobson Family Institute.

I am that James Dobson, and I'm so pleased that you've joined us today.

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

I'm Roger Marsh.

You know, parenting brings both incredible joy and exhausting challenges.

But for single mothers, raising children alone, those demands can feel overwhelming.

Today's classic conversation here on Family Talk features Dr. Dobson discussing this

issue with author Angela Thomas Farr, who found herself suddenly divorced with four young children

to raise. Angela is a graduate of the University of North Carolina and Dallas Theological Seminary.

She's written two powerful books we'll be discussing, My Single Mom Life, and Tender Mercy

for a Mother's Soul. Her story is one of God's redemptive love, transforming deep pain into ministry

and hope. So whether you're a single parent or you know someone who is, Angela's testimony

will encourage you. She is living proof that even in our darkest valleys, God never abandons us.

Here now is Dr. James Dobson with his guest Angela Thomas Farr on today's edition of 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 are about to be.

They are 9 to 17, 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 there already is an exhausting responsibility.

You write about that, don't you?
