Comments on: 52 Weeks of Fun Family Service, by Merrilee Boyack http://roxcy.synthian.org/2008/02/19/fun-family-service/ Uplifting, edifying, and enriching reading by and for Latter-day Saint Women Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:05:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Naiah http://roxcy.synthian.org/2008/02/19/fun-family-service/#comment-47695 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:54:04 +0000 http://roxcy.synthian.org/2008/02/19/fun-family-service/#comment-47695 Texasblu, Interesting that you and your husband were just talking about this. I'd definitely check out the book. The first section is a fairly quick read, but is also super-inspiring and will go a long was for you and your husband in really determining to pursue more service as a family. And the ideas are sooo creative. Yeah, it'll be a great time all around for you guys. Then, of course there's her other books, as I mentioend in my comment above. Simply put, they rocked my world. Enjoy! Michelle, I know! You can't beat it--very practical (practicable), strong doctrinal foundation, and super fun. I can just see your kids mobilizing on some of these projects! Texasblu,

Funny, my husband and I were talking about needing to put more service into our family's life. I'll have to check it out - thanks for the heads up. :) I had not heard of these books.

Thanks for giving us the heads-up about it. I love how her style combines practical ideas with solid doctrinal foundations. And a lot of fun along the way. :) This sounds like a great book!

I first read "...NOT An Option," and to say that it changed my marriage would not do it justice. In those pages, Merrilee showed me how to change things about myself that then changed not only my marriage, but almost every aspect of my life--for the better. Then, I learned about "The Parenting Breakthrough" at a <a href="http://deseretbook.com/time-out/" rel="nofollow">Time Out for Women event</a>, where, as Sister Boyack's talk on parenting wore on and my pencil wore dull as I was pretty much writing down her talk verbatim in my attempt to take notes, a wicked case of writer's cramp set in, and I stood up right there in the middle of her talk and walked over to the tables to buy the book. I needed it. My kids needed it. And we are all grateful that I bought it! If you have not checked these books out yet, please know that not only do they carry my highest recommendation, I consider them part of my own personal 'essential library,' as they have brought so much to my life.
