We read and hear daily from parents who are dismayed and disgusted by the trashy material that influences their pre- and teenaged kids. The values illustrated/modeled are horrific — and they are universal. Joe Hoedel provides another voice and their parents a valuable tool for alternative discussions and value-setting. Book 1 provides short, easy-to-read examples and insights of a more positive and constructive way of life. Joe identifies — for parents and their children — role models of living right whom their children know and hear about daily and can follow on social media and sports channels; People their parents can use as examples of right-thinking and behaving. (Much better than a sermon.) Joe is a notable family scientist; So am I. I know for a fact that these role models are life-changing. You can read the research, but more simply: Leave a copy in your sons’ and daughters’ rooms. And quietly, patiently, wait.
