Publisher's summary

The solutions set forth in this book and the family legacy mode with the six protocols will absolutely equip you to transform your family. This is a practical guide to doing family things that will cause your family to thrive today. The Family Legacy practices will ensure an lasting legacy for generations to come. As a result, I believe that businesses, communities, cultures, and nations will be transformed from the inside out as well.

The Family Legacy model is intentionally designed to equip people to know their true identity, empowering them to properly self-govern, which enables them to generationally steward the family as designed while teaching the next generation to do the same. As a result, the culture will be transformed from the inside out.

The Family Legacy model.

Six protocols for a thriving family, an enduring legacy, and a transformed culture.

• Family legacy EQ. EQ = Emotional Intelligence—Creating an environment of safety, trust, support, forgiveness, love, purpose, and fun.
• Family legacy identity—Discovering together your family identity and uniqueness: past, present and future. Creating a family coat of arms, family vision values, and purpose, family song, and family painting.
• Family legacy ritual—The regular family meeting framework: food, fun, story, wisdom, and a supportive coach approach.
• Family legacy ventures—The annual family learning and legacy adventure trip or vacation.
• Family legacy M.I.S.S.I.O.N.—The momentary, intentional, specific, supportive, intervention, as one, in response to a need.
• Family legacy impartation—How to intentionally impart the most important things so your legacy endures. The wisdom, blessing, stuff, unfinished business, and the family legacy generational covenant.

Saving Our Family

Dr Randy hit a home run with this book. Exactly what we needed for our family. We had no idea that there was a way to intentionally do family and create a legacy that lives on. And all while planning some amazing things together as a family. I could not recommend this book any more highly ❤️

A Must-Read

While this book addresses the topic of Family, the principles Dr. Bixby presents can be applied to every situation in life. When seeing the title, I thought of legacy in terms of money; however, this book revealed an understanding that there is more to pass on than money, buildings, and possessions. How do we leave a lasting legacy to our children and their generations? Dr. Bixby’s thorough work walks through foundational frameworks to transform you, your family, and the culture around you. After reading and applying this book in my life, it has given me insight on shaping and transforming our family, friends, and culture for generations to come.
The performance of the audiobook is enjoyable as well. I always appreciate hearing the author read their own work. Dr. Bixby does an excellent job in delivering the content.
Start your journey towards leaving your Family Legacy. Read this book. Apply it. Reap the benefits. You will be glad you did.

Beautiful Insight into Family Culture

The Narration was beautiful and holds the listeners attention. The insight into the family legacy and it's influence on shaping culture brought a revelation of the importance of stewarding family. Not only did it show the vitality of this but opened up the door to practical ways to implement legacy in my own home, life and the lives of others around me. I highly recommend this book to many I meet and am blessed to have the opportunity to read it.

Life changing stuff right here!

There are no courses in college on how to do family, and let’s be honest, most of us likely learned how to do family dysfunctionally. This material is what’s missing from families’ arsenals and classrooms. If you truly desire to heal your family and “do” family as God designed family to be, you’ve got to give this book a read or listen. It’s super practical and Dr Bixby walks you through every detail of every exercise (I appreciate how dummy proof it is!). Your spouse, children and generations to come will thank you! It’s blessed my family (and marriage) tremendously!

A practical approach to doing family well!

Growing up my family experience like most wasn’t the greatest and I wasn’t equipped with an understanding of how to do family well. Time and life experiences have taught me that as the family goes so all of our life follows. This book is a gem that’s helped my family learn and implement simple, practical tools for doing family well. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to change their family life now and for generations to come!

A delightful & thought-provoking listen

This book shows the truly meaningful and important things in life to pass on that are oftentimes overlooked! And it gives you the tools on how to practically do so. It’s a breath of fresh air from so many confusing philosophies on how to live life and do family. It applies to every aspect of family life no matter the stage!

A blueprint for healthy families!

This is a must read for any person looking to lead their family into greater connection, healing and freedom. Help yourself navigate the complexities of relationship breakdowns, be encouraged that there is hope, and use the tools offered in this brilliant book to see restored the most foundational connections in your life!

This will change your life and your family!

Our families are broken for many reasons. Many release their parental responsibilities to the government, educational institutions and even the church to raise their children and direct their paths. All you must do is pause and look at the world around you to realize that these paths have brought confusion and destruction to our families. Our children are growing up in a society of brokenness and pain; of suicide and drug overdose; of increasing crime rates in our streets, our schools and in our homes……………..Where do we begin to put a stop to all the chaos? We begin with the family and Dr. Randall Bixby’s book “The Family Legacy, Shaping Culture from the Inside Out.” Dr. Bixby’s journey will touch your heart and your soul in bringing your family life changing tools for generations to come. But don’t just take my word for it! Get the book, grab a cup of coffee, and be prepared for a read or ‘listen’ that will change your life. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!!!!!!

A Family Manual

Dr. Randy Bixby provides answers for the questions many of us are asking about family. Is it possible to help my family be better at being, well, a healthy family? I grew up with a Family Bible on the coffee table in the living room of our house. I wish we had also had this book and the accompanying workbook, because they are a true family manual to aid all who are interested in helping your family to get healthy and stay healthy. It is working for the Thomas clan. I think it will work for you!
