Join the Fight!
The most important fight has always been spiritual warfare. The James Stoddard family shares with us their tremendous examples of living for Christ.
What’s their secret? To go on the mission together as a family. Parents, involve your kids in your ministries. You were meant to do this together!
This is a family that takes seriously the oft ignored cultural standards from the prophets. Are you acquainted with standards from the prophets on movies, music, and recreation? The Stoddard family, along with quotes from the brethren in this volume, can help you learn correct principles for wholesome recreation, and a life well lived.
This is a family that values hard work, forgiveness, and knows how to sacrifice to make a difference in the world.
The Joseph Smith Foundation (JosephSmithFoundation.org) which James founded has published several books and documentaries defending the history and teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
While we need the courage to stand alone in our day to day lives, we can take comfort that there are many saints striving for excellence in the service of God.
