    I am sure there is much we as a family can learn from these messages. It seems that we are daily working on our children loving one another, so the talk titled “How to Wage War on Sibling Rivalry” looks particularly interesting.

    I have entered for this giveaway on other websites….for myself. However, my heart has been changed. My dear sister in law, mother of four precious boys, has lost three babies in less than a year. I would like to enter this giveaway for her. I know she would benefit so much from the talk about explaining miscarriage to her children. If I am blessed to win the giveaway, I will give you her information so that she will be able to access the messages on blue behemoth. Thank you!

    I would like to receive this because I have a 13 year old daughter, and I feel like our society discourages her from being feminine the way that God intended for her to be. I would love to hear what they have to say about combatting this ill in our fallen world. Thanks for sharing!
