Summary

Twenty-first-century moms and dads, even more than their predecessors, are caught in a harried and hurried lifestyle best described as "routine panic." They know something is wrong but are too busy and exhausted to do anything about it. These parents want practical, biblical answers they can digest on the run. Dr. James Dobson will point mothers and fathers to the principles they desperately need in 7 Solutions for Burned- Out Parents: renew the Sabbath, just say "No" to overcommitment, let go of the desire to acquire, seek balance for your life and family, turn off distractions and tune in to your loved ones, lift up one another, and find peace through prayer.
