A wonderful book. I thought of how many times I have said to my family, "We are making memories". I am 82 years old and was blessed with two children. One was born mentally handicapped and died at age 9 years. I was blessed with two grandchildren and now have two greats and another due in April. My great grandchildren have sleepovers a lot with me. I try to make memories of our visits for them to have when I gone. This book should help its readers stop and think what is important in our lives. Thank you David and Amanda for sharing.

An interesting tale about a army chaplain his wife and three children and their trials and tribulations, and how they have weathered their relationships. It is at time funny and poignant. A nice little story.

Loved it!
It reminds us not to get so caught in the trials and tribulations to forget to enjoy the good times and to count our blessings. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed this book. The writing was a bit simplistic, but the stories (non-fiction) were well-crafted. Basically, he is telling us that everyone goes through some s**t in their life - some minor, some major, and you can usually get through it. All examples are from his own life.
