At about 1AM this morning I finished, “Little Family, Big Values: Lessons in Love, Respect, and Understanding for Families of Any Size” by the Roloff Family and interviewer, Tracy Sumner.
The book was definitely a quick-read, and I would surmise even a quicker-write.
My sister, Sherilyn, knows of my fascination with the Roloff family and bought me this book for my birthday this Summer. Jess and I are well into enjoying this new Season of the “Little People, Big World” television series with the Roloffs on TLC.
The book is great! Written partly by each member of the Roloff family, minus youngest-Jacob. The Roloffs share the values their family holds near and dear and shares from experience how defending those values has put them in the place they are today. There’s some great insight into their family within the pages of the book and some great words of wisdom.
I enjoyed most the chapter on the Roloff’s value of Faith. I read a clear statement of the Faith that Matt and Amy have in the One True God and salvation through Jesus Christ that I have received mere glimpses of through the television series. Jeremy, one of their twins talks about the importance that Faith has played in the family’s lifestyle, too.
The reason I felt it was a quick-write is because of an obvious mistake in which Zach was referred to as Jeremy in one of the first chapters.
Thanks for the good review of our family’s book. I agree that it was a quick read and put together by the publishers very quickly.
Sounds like you may be in Wisconsin? We are going to be at Appleton Alliance church the second week end in December. I will be speaking at the Women’s Christmas Tea.
Congratulations to you with your beautiful little girl Ella. She is darling. I pray you will continue to be a Christ follower and good daddy.
Your blog popped up as an alert is how I found you. :-) You never know who is lerking.
Blessings, Peggy
One last question… are you related to Ken Sheets who is also a pastor. He was in Grass Valley California for many years and now in Arizona. He is about 45. His father was a pastor as well.
