I was happy to be a part of the blog tour for Rachel Sullivan's new book, Creating Your Forever Family. As a mother of eight children, I'm always looking for new ideas to bind my family closer together.
This book takes a closer look at nine principles from The Family: A Proclamation to the World. I've read that document dozens of times, but I really liked the insight this author had in truly applying those principles in my home. There were lots of ideas, quotes, stories, and activities that I could use as I talk to and teach my children. There are also application questions at the end of each chapter that I thought were helpful. The author has an easy style to her work and includes things she's tried in her own family that made it really relatable for me. I think this would be a perfect book to really jumpstart discussions on several gospel principles and a good guideline for different principles you could work on as a family. I know I'll be re-reading this one!

Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. It has been decades since the family proclamation was first presented to members of the Church by President Gordon B. Hinckley. But despite the passage of time, the counsel provided in the family proclamation is ever more vital in these tumultuous last days. Creating Your Forever Family is an indispensable resource, providing practical application of the nine principles outlined in the family proclamation. Featuring counsel from Church leaders and stories of these principles in action, this book offers ways to incorporate these values in everyday life, from interview questions to help kids open up, to game night ideas, to fun family dinner conversation starters. Families will be strengthened as each member gets involved in the discussions and applications. Now is the time to fortify families and truly embrace the principles of this great proclamation.
