Building A Family Legacy
October 1, in the year of our Lord 2014-- Capping a
decades-long career of equipping parents to raise godly
families, Dr. James Dobson’s BUILDING A FAMILY LEGACY—an
eight-DVD series that combines his updated classic Focus on the
Family videos with four new films from Dr. Dobson and his son,
Ryan—debuts Sept 30. YOUR LEGACY—one of the new films that
equips parents and grandparents to build a lasting legacy of
faith in their families—premieres in a worldwide simulcast in
thousands of churches Oct. 1-5.
A personal story of faith, YOUR LEGACY traces Dr. Dobson’s own
family history to show what a tremendous difference praying
families can make. It is an inspiring look back . . . and
forward. Dr. Dobson’s great-grandfather started daily prayers
over a century ago that the next four generations of his family
would be Christians. YOUR LEGACY explores the breathtaking
implications of intentionally giving your children a heritage of
faith.
“It’s harder now to raise kids than it’s ever been because the
culture is at war with families,” Dr. Dobson said. “I feel
BUILDING A FAMILY LEGACY contains the most important message of
my career. There is nothing more important than parents passing
on a generational legacy of faith and values to their children.”
BACKGROUND: More than 80 million people—a third of the U.S.
population at the time—saw the original Focus on the Family
films that shaped the way a generation viewed family and
parenting. In 2008, Ryan Dobson found those films gathering dust
and convinced his father that today’s generation of young
parents needs Dr. Dobson’s timeless insight more than ever.
The result? The BUILDING A FAMILY LEGACY DVDs with four classic
films and four new films. The DVDs and simulcast are supported
by new books from Dr. Dobson, Your Legacy, and Ryan, Wanting to
Believe; by the updating and reissue of classic Dobson works
such as Dare to Discipline and The Strong-Willed Child; and by a
new series of study guides for the books and films.
