Bestselling author Tricia Goyer and her
family of eleven embark on a yearlong quest to eliminate grumbling from
their home and discover a healthier, more thankful approach to life
together.
The Goyer home--with two parents, eight kids,
and one eighty-eight-year-old grandmother with dementia--is never
without noise, mess, activity, and, often, complaining. And it's not
just the kids grumbling. After adding seven children in less than six
years through adoption, the Goyer family decided to move out of
survival-mode and into unity- and growth-mode. They decided to tackle
the impossible: a grumble-free year.
With grade-schoolers,
teenagers, and a grandmother who believes children should be seen and
not heard, plenty of room exists for flunking the challenge. Add to that
seven children being homeschooled together in close quarters, and what
could possibly go awry?
In The Grumble-Free Year, the
Goyers invite readers into their journey as they go complaint-free and
discover what it looks like to develop hearts of gratitude. They share
their plans, successes, failures, and all the lessons they learn along
the way, offering real-life action steps based in scripture so that
readers get not just a front-row seat to the action but also an
opportunity to take the challenge themselves and uncover hearts that are
truly thankful.
