Thank you, Lord, for the life and legacy of Dr. James Dobson – a man whose Christian service and influence will live on and who was on this earth for such a time as this. I am a cradle Catholic and love my Catholic faith. There are a few faithful Christian leaders whom I respect, admire, and whose work I have followed. Dr. Dobson is one of them. Being a military family, Colorado Springs was a short one-year assignment for us, and while stationed there I brought our 3 children to Focus on the Family as often as possible. Adventures in Odyssey was a staple on long car rides. We especially loved the American historic adventures. We are passionate pro-life supporters and are thankful for Dr. Dobson’s solid stance on this moral issue. Again, we believe he was here on earth for these times to give witness to the timeless truth of the sacredness and sanctity of each and every human person. Our heartfelt condolences to Dr. Dobson’s family and friends, and our sincere appreciation for a life well lived as a good and faithful servant to the Lord. Certainly the angels are celebrating, and we hope to all celebrate with him in eternity in praise and worship of our Creator.

There are not enough words to express my appreciation for Dr. James Dobson and his ministry. His books, Focus on the Family magazines, and radio messages provided much-needed guidance when I was raising my children. We loved the age-appropriate movies and magazines too. Since the inception of the radio programs and podcasts of Family Talk, I continue to learn and value the information from Dr. Dobson‘s messages and interviews, and those of his associates, even during these grandparenting years. My deepest appreciation, prayers, and condolences to Shirley and family. Dr. Dobson will be sorely missed. May God continue to bless the ministry of Family Talk.

There is so much I could say about James Dobson, and how his broadcast helped me get through life. I feel such a loss at his departure to heaven, yet oh what a celebration there must have been when that precious man was welcomed into the arms of Jesus! After getting married at 24, my husband and I accepted the Lord on the same day. This, of course, was God‘s plan, because a couple months later I found out I was pregnant with our first child. I had a wonderful neighbor down the road who was also a young Christian. She introduced me to Focus on the Family with James Dobson. At 10 o’clock every morning, I sat in front of the radio and listened to Focus as Dr. Dobson helped me learn to be a mom, a wife and, most of all, a Christian. Our new baby was born with a severe birth defect. We spent more days than I can count in the hospital, me taking the day shift, my husband taking the nights. I don’t believe I would’ve made it through those years without the steady voice of Dr. Dobson, every day, reassuring me that, indeed, I would get through this with the help of God! The years to follow were filled with advice passed along to me and my husband through the wise words of James Dobson. I can honestly say he taught us to be more like Christ every day. Dr. Dobson was a blessing to so many people; he will be greatly missed! I’m looking forward to meeting him in heaven one day! Peg

We will miss wonderful conservative points of life lessons!
