Welcome everyone to Family Talk. It's a ministry of the James Dobson Family Institute, supported by listeners just like you.

I'm Dr. James Dobson, and I'm thrilled that you've joined us.

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

I'm Roger Marsh. And whether you're listening at home or on the go, you are in for something special today.

We are bringing you a classic conversation featuring Mary Crowley, author of the book Women Who Win,

who build a business Empire by believing in

stay-at-home moms. Back in 1957, Mary founded home interiors and gifts in Texas, based on the

simple idea that women selling home decor through party-style gatherings would be successful.

What began with modest sales grew into an extraordinary success story.

By 1983, the company was doing $400 million in business, powered by thousands of women

working from their homes. The company became so successful that when they held a celebration,

they filled an arena with 10,000 of their top saleswomen, and they featured Bob Hope

and Billy Graham as special guests. But Mary's secret wasn't just business savvy. It was putting

priorities in the right order. Mary started every company meeting by reading scripture,

often turning to the proverbs for wisdom about leadership. And here's an interesting connection.

Mary Kay Ash, who co-founded Mary Kay Cosmetics with a similar home party business model, was actually Mary Crowley's sister-in-law.

Now, in her book, Women Who Win, Mary addresses a challenge many women still face today, and that is a lack of self-confidence. Her message is

both simple and powerful. You are designed for fulfillment, and God has a plan for your life.

Mary Crowley believed that by honoring God and serving others, women could find success both at home

and in business. So let's listen now as Mary talks about those timeless

principles with our own Dr. James Dobson on this special edition of Family Talk.

I would like to say this is one of the most generous women I have ever met. She supports Christian causes all across
