Summary

Have you found it challenging to balance the demands of marriage and family, while still having devotional time with the Lord? On today's classic edition of Family Talk, Dr. James and Shirley Dobson discuss their best-selling book, Night Light for Parents, an easy devotional for moms and dads to read every night. Each passage has a high-impact short story, questions that will prompt great conversation, and a brief prayer at the conclusion.
