More than ever before, family time faces stiff competition from other activities that appeal to kids: video games, text messaging, and checking in on friends through mySpace or Facebook. Family Fun Night offers the antidote: Tips and advice for establishing a weekly family time, as well as dozens of specific ideas for spending quality time together. This comprehensive book suggests ways to interest teens (let each one invite a friend or allow them to play their music in the background on game night), to contend with a large age range (form teams or play games of chance rather than skill), and to manage competitiveness among siblings (play cooperative games or ones where players change teams throughout). From clever twists on timeless classics to brand new games your family will love, this book offers something for every family, during every month of the year. Interested in family-friendly card games? Suggestions for outdoor family games? Or ideas for last-minute game nights or for game nights that cost less than $10? It’s all covered in this comprehensive, reader-friendly guide, along with ideas for snacks and meals that complement each family night theme. Whether family members use the book to brainstorm ideas for their own unique night or follow each game night to the last detail, they will find that family playtime creates wonderful memories that will last forever.

Creative ideas, real-life stories, and Scriptural guidance for being the family that loves being together.

Topics include: Contentment, Security, Loyalty, Gratitude, Spontaneity, Communication, and more. Preaching is his gift, but Pastor Dave Stone’s family is his life’s blessing. While raising three kids with his wife, Beth, as well as shepherding the diverse families of his congregation, his heart, and passion for building strong families rings louder than ever. He knows that raising faithful families is a key to the future of the church. "Dave's book is full of no nonsense, common sense suggestions, and biblically inspired truth. As a parent of two "under construction" children still finding their way in a fallen world, I am keenly aware of the importance of living a life of faithful integrity in order to actually teach it to our kids. I, of course, have failed miserably on occasion. But then, I didn't have Dave's book like you do!"—Kathie Lee Gifford

Inside you’ll discover how to • bridge communication gaps • defuse power struggles • avoid the dangers of praise • enforce your message of love • build on strengths, not weaknesses • hold children accountable with their self-respect intact • teach children not what to think but how to think • win cooperation at home and at school • meet the special challenge of teen misbehavior “It is not easy to improve a classic book, but Jane Nelson has done so in this revised edition. Packed with updated examples that are clear and specific, Positive Discipline shows parents exactly how to focus on solutions while being kind and firm. If you want to enrich your relationship with your children, this is the book for you.” –Sal Severe, author of How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too!
