Build a Better Family with Wisdom and Confidence

By Roseberge Contstant

My inspiration to write this book came from God. I wanted to help people in positive ways and I was looking in to counseling that didnt work for me, but I realize that God gave me a gift to write and I wanted to help people not only with financial, but be able to help in other ways. Until one day God gave me a vision to write this book and I started writing. This book is one of the best tools you can have in your home to help you work on some issues that can cause conflict and negative behavior among families. In this book you will find a well balanced behavior, words of comfort and other issues that people deal with in everyday life. This book will help you solves issues such as parenting, marriage, teen age and relationship issues. You will not only love this book, but you will pass on to other people you know that are struggling with other or similar issues like you. Once you read this book you will have a better impact in your family and other people around you. Therefore, I encourage you to get a copy, put it at your home for when you need it, because it will be very helpful for you and also help you empower your world.
