The family is an oven for growth in which Mom, Dad, and their children all experience healthy ingredients such as attachment, structure, acceptance, and values. Gods design is that each person then becomes well-adjusted, loving, and competent. So often, however, parents feel conflicted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from one another, and those stresses are replicated in their children. Josh and Christi Straub have provided a tremendous resource to help parents become the successful, close, and happy family they have always wanted. Using their own vulnerable narratives, examples of people they have worked with, the latest neuroscience and research, and biblical principles, they give the reader a right-now and practical guide to starting in a new and better way.

In a culture that prioritizes fame and success, our efforts to be recognized are often directed outward to the world rather than inward to our families. Then it is our families that get our tired, overwhelmed leftovers. In this book, Josh and Christi outline how to prioritize family. They offer reminders that those who too often get the least of us not only deserve but also bring out the best in us. Im grateful for my friends Josh and Christi Straubfor their vulnerability, their passion for emotional health, and their commitment to bringing healing to families.

Famous at Home is not only timely but is also absolutely essential for anyone who desires to break the dysfunctional generational cycles they experienced growing up and ensure they are not repeated within their own family. Our friends Dr. Josh and Christi Straub not only provide a clear blueprint on how to do this but they teach it using their own lives. We highly recommend this book for those who are ready and serious about making their family a priority above all else.
