Especially at this time of year, we think about family and just how significant it is. When we begin to get our arms around that, and understand that, we can begin to be more purposeful and intentional about strengthening and building into our <em>own<\/em> family.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what we\u2019re all about, here at FamilyLife; and that\u2019s what\u2019s at the heart of Jefferson Bethke\u2019s new book, <em>Take Back Your Family<\/em>. It\u2019s a book we\u2019re recommending. We have it in our <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> Resource Center. You can order it from us online, or you can call 1-800-FL-TODAY. If you\u2019re looking for a book that will help you refocus and reprioritize your family\/to put your family where it belongs by God\u2019s design, get a copy of the book, <em>Take Back Your Family<\/em>, by Jefferson Bethke. Go to FamilyLifeToday.com to order your copy, or call 1-800-FL-TODAY; 1-800-358-6329; that\u2019s 1-800-\u201cF\u201d as in family, \u201cL\u201d as in life, and then the word, \u201cTODAY.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You know, when we start to get our heads and hearts wrapped around God\u2019s grand design for marriage and for family, we begin to see God\u2019s purposes more clearly. We begin to see where the power to change the world resides: it\u2019s not in a political office somewhere; it\u2019s not in a corporate boardroom; the power to change the world resides in your home, in your marriage, in your family. At FamilyLife, our mission is to effectively develop godly marriages and families. We believe godly marriages and families are the most significant element, by God\u2019s design, to change the world.<\/p>\n<p>We are so grateful for those of you who share that conviction with us and those of you who express your support for what we\u2019re doing through your financial gifts. The month of December, as we\u2019ve told you, is a significant month for ministries like ours. As much as 40 percent of the revenue we need to operate in the year ahead will come in during this month. We have a great opportunity, here, in December for <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> listeners to see your giving multiplied. We\u2019ve had some friends of the ministry, who have gotten together and agreed that they will match every donation given in December, dollar for dollar, up to a total of $1.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>Now, that\u2019s a <em>steep<\/em> hill for us to climb; but we\u2019re asking <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em> listeners: \u201cWill you be as generous as you can be?\u2014knowing that, whatever gift you give, it\u2019s going to be doubled; because of this matching gift opportunity.\u201d To say, \u201cThank you for your gift,\u201d we\u2019d like to send you a copy of the new devotional from the book of Psalms by Dane Ortlund. He was a guest recently on <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>. His book is called <em>In the Lord I Take Refuge: <\/em>150 Devotions from Psalms. His book is our thank-you gift when you make a yearend donation and allow that donation to be matched, dollar for dollar. If you can, go online at FamilyLifeToday.com today; or call 1-800-FL-TODAY; make as generous a donation as possible. We just want to say, \u201cThank you,\u201d in advance, for your ongoing support of this ministry. We appreciate you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And we hope you can join us, again, tomorrow when Jefferson Bethke will be here again to help us dig a little deeper into what God had in mind when He created the family in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of our hosts, Dave and Ann Wilson, I\u2019m Bob Lepine.
