Dr. Dobson's many books and video series have been an extremely valuable resource for my pastoral ministry over the past nearly 40 years! I have recommended his books to many parents as they sought wise counsel on raising their children. Thank you, Dr. Dobson! Thank you to Shirley and family for your sacrificial support of this most godly man.
PreviousNearly forty years ago, our young family had just moved to a new state. I was a mother of two small children, feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure of my footing in a new place. Heading home one afternoon, I turned the radio dial to a local Christian station, hoping for music that might lift my weary heart. Instead, I encountered a voice that would change the course of my motherhood and my family’s legacy: Dr. James Dobson. Within minutes of listening, I felt truly seen, understood, and encouraged. Dr. Dobson reminded me that the calling of wife and mother was not just significant, but one of the most honorable roles God entrusts to us. That single broadcast began a daily rhythm of listening, learning, and being strengthened. I even ordered cassette tapes so I could revisit certain messages again and again—truths that steadied me during those tender years of raising my children. Today, I am now the proud grandmother of six precious grandchildren; I rejoice as I see my adult children instilling those same values in their own families. My prayer is that the truths Dr. Dobson championed will continue to echo through our generations to come. Dr. Dobson, words will never be enough to express the gratitude I hold in my heart. I once had the privilege of meeting you in person and sharing a small measure of my thanks, but I look forward to the day in heaven when I can once again tell you face to face: thank you for the eternal impact you made on me, my family, and countless others.
