awsome book!!!

truly a great book from Start to finish. I love their transparency and their practical tips on how to be a better parent and the conclusion was truly encouraging 🙏

Wonderful, honest and helpful

I listen to Dave and Ann Wilson so much on Family Life Today I feel like I know them! They are both always so honest and transparent about their struggles and their victories, both in marriage and in parenting which is extremely helpful for my whole family! I love that they narrate this book together, it really brings the stories of their experiences to life. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be a parent, is a new parent, is a veteran parent of teenagers or anywhere in between! It has the power to transform your parenting and will definitely be well worth your time😊

giving hope

a personal touch,experience in a marriage and raising children through teens that hits the core of the heart and the mistakes we make and lessons to learn and correct for the legacy of Faith, Family, Friendship in passing on to the generation of children we raise for them to pass on to their children.

Good story, good principles, well-read

I enjoyed listening to this book. It’s a lot of stories of them raising their kids with a few really good principles mixed in.
My favorite part? The authors are the ones reading their stories to you.
What I didn’t like? Occasionally the stories provided too much detail in weird parts. Also - I was hoping for more practical tips & principles and less story.
Overall - it was a good book and I’d recommend it.

awesome book

loved every piece of it. it was down to earth and real. they were unafraid of telling the hard parts and their mistakes and how they overcame them.

Wisdom for parents of all ages

No Perfect Parents is filled with some of the joys and sorrows of parenting and so much wisdom. Dave and Ann are humble and brave as they share many of their personal parenting failures. You can feel their heart as they read this audio book. I felt like I was sitting in their living room with them. Wonderful Book.

Thank you!

This book was just what I needed in this stage of my life with my children approaching the teen years… I wish I would’ve listen to it when they were five!

Great audio

Great information as we are human and are not perfect. If you have not listened to Vertical Marriage I highly recommend to do so. I recommend it to my husband. I’ll be sharing this one next with him. Thank you

Very encouraging to this imperfect parent

This is classic David and Wilson. Has lots of fun stories and many helpful tips.
