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.

About the Author:
Dr. James Dobson is founder and chairman of Focus on the Family, a nonprofit organization whose internationally syndicated radio programs are heard by more than 200 million people per week. He earned his PhD from the University of Southern California in the field of child development. A licensed psychologist and marriage, family, and child counselor, Dr. Dobson is the author of numerous bestselling books dedicated to the preservation of the family, including the award-winning Night Light and Night Light for Parents with his wife, Shirley. Dr. and Mrs. Dobson have two grown children and live in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
From Publishers Weekly:
Dobson, the Focus on the Family founder whose book The Strong-Willed Child made him a highly regarded expert on Christian parenting, turns his attention to helping parents slow down. Opening the book with anecdotes about how American families spend too much time hustling kids to soccer games and dance practice, Dobson strikes a chord with the ranks of the exhausted. His seven chapters are exceptionally brief, meaning that these same exhausted parents might actually find the hour or so it takes to digest this book. Although his suggestions are by no means new ones, they’re solid and well presented: Keep the Sabbath; implement a slower lifestyle and spend precious time with family; live within your means; learn to say no to some new commitments and don’t overload kids with scheduled activities; limit TV-watching; build a strong relationship with your spouse; and pray constantly. Dobson comes across as a comfortable fellow struggler rather than an authority who has managed to put all of these principles into practice all the time; some of the book’s best moments come when he shares his own vulnerability (like the time his father called him to task for being too busy to attend to his family, or the time he learned a lesson about materialism as a game show contestant). This book will resonate with many worn-out moms and dads.
