Hello, everyone. You're listening to Family Talk, a radio broadcasting ministry of the James

Dobson Family Institute. I'm Dr. James Dobson, and thank you for joining us for this program.

Well, welcome to Family Talk. I'm Roger Marsh. You know the last words of a person often carry the most weight,

and that's never been more true than the seven final statements Jesus made from the cross.

Each one reveals something profound about who he is and what he came to do. On today's edition of Family Talk,

Dr. James Dobson sits down with author Stuart
