UPDATE #12 - "Famous Family Nights" in Deseret News' Mormon Times. Check it out at http://mormontimes.com/mormon_voices/mormon_experience/?id=11142

UPDATE #11 - "Famous Family Nights" is #1 in Deseret Book's online Family Home Evening category!

UPDATE #10 Below is a small part of a review and interview currently at http://ldswbr.blogspot.com/2009/09/my-review-of-famous-family-nights-by.html by Sheila Staley for LDS Women's Book Review:

I have to say, one of my favorite sections was written by one of my favorite author friends, Josi Kilpack, called "Healthy Bodies, Healthy Spirits". It made me crack up! Josi has the best sense of humor and it shows in her contribution to this book! :) Then I really appreciated the section by, Shannon Hoffman. She also is a single parent like me. It was good to see how to have FHE's when you are having to fly solo and keeping things running in your family. I also really loved Eric Dodge, a country music singer, and his chapter called, "Nothing as Valuable as Family". I have to admit here, I could go through this whole book and tell you what I liked about each chapter. I found something worthwhile to be used with my own little family, from every contributor.

I highly recommend this book to every family out there! It doesn't matter what kind of family you are, there is something for you in this great book . . . With Christmas heading our way quickly, this book would be a fabulous gift for family members.



UPDATE #9 I'm signing copies of "Famous Family Nights" at Seagull in Provo (East Bay), during their Celebrating Sisterhood event Saturday Sept. 26th, 10 to 12 noon. Do drop in for a chat.

There will be another T-shirt draw, so be sure to enter. Children love dressing up. This shirt can be worn during family home evening by the person giving the lesson, or organizing the game, or serving the treat - or sitting quietly for more than a minute :-)

UPDATE #8 Endorsement on Amazon.com from author Sherry Ann Miller:
"Famous Family Nights", by Anne Bradshaw, is one of the best books I've ever read on Family Home Evenings. It's an excellent book for parents of all ages! I laughed, I cried, I read several entries over and over and out loud to my hubby. The stories within its pages are so much fun to read. Amazingly, many parents felt their family home evenings were disastrous, which reminded me of some rather catastrophic Family Home Evenings we had in our own home, as well! You'll find stories about measuring lint in belly buttons and stylishly modeling newly-washed clothes over . . . whatever. Many of the stories touched on eternal issues, listening to the inspiration of the Holy Ghost and learning to stretch beyond what is expected. Others point out simplicity and directness and honor in following the Family Home Evening pathway. The entire book is a profound statement of love and devotion to family. "Famous Family Nights" is a great reminder to parents everywhere that the Lord never expected us to get it perfect, He just expected us to do it! The blessings far outweigh the challenges is one of the many themes that run through these beautiful stories . . . "Famous Family Nights" is one book I will read many times over . . .

UPDATE #7 First endorsement from a reader: "I've been looking through your book and I LOVE IT......it is an awesome treasure." ~ Shanna Christensen Hugie
