Most of what I’ve learned about communication, I acquired in the past few years. For over 30 years I have been teaching, preaching, and writing about the importance of the family in the plan of God. I'm committed to the concept of family in general and the Demme family in particular. As a husband and father, I have the potential to build up and encourage my family like no one else. I also have the ability to tear down and discourage my wife and sons. This book shares Biblical principles of communicating I have learned and applied in our home. 

In this easy-to-understand and encouraging book, Steve shares practical scripture-based tips for teaching the word of God to children of all ages. He also addresses common obstacles we all face in establishing the discipline of regular family worship. You will be encouraged by Steve’s experiences teaching his four sons, and learn from other families who share strategies that have worked for their children. It is our hope that each family will find their own style which works best for their home.

2012 was the hardest and best year of my life. I did not see this crisis coming, but am glad it came before it was too late. Throughout this difficult time I discovered my Heavenly Dad likes me just the way I am. Even though my path went through deep waters, God was with me every step of the way. I discovered I cannot hide my toxic issues for eventually they will leak out and hurt those who are closest to me, primarily my wife and children. The more I comprehend the grace of God, the more I am equipped to confront my own baggage and wounds.

Knowing God’s love produces wonderful fruit. God takes the initiative to reveal his heart of love and compassion for his children.
