This is what it is all about.
To Survive and Prosper: It’s Time to Think
Strategically About Your Children, Your
Household, and Your Family Culture!strat-e-gies: The art of devising or employing plans or stratagems toward a goal.
If you are a Christian parent living in the twenty-first century, you need to think strategically about your family. Settling for the priorities and practices of the world is a proven formula for disaster. As parents, we must do more than settle. We must self-consciously choose. This requires strategic biblical thinking. It means self-consciously building your family culture. And whether the subject is entertainment choices, home décor, travel, music in the home, or dealing with antagonistic relatives, it means that wise, Scripturally-informed parents must think creatively as they aggressively engage impediments and obstacles to success.

How about an e-book on passing down family traditions? Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
I subscribed to your RSS feed.
I “liked” this.
I am interested in you writing a book on encouraging young men in purity, purity of their eyes and thoughts.
I would like books that encourage creativity in my boys, but it really is hard to pick one thing out of vision forum:)
Another book I was thinking about you writing is how to capture and keep our children’s hearts.
I am a subscriber to your bookstore.
There are a few things I’ve had my eye on but I think the one that would make the most difference in our home is the Family Strategies series. I am a full-time mother, homeschool teacher (to my own children and one I teach free of charge), and am getting my degree online, so these would be something that would allow me to learn how to be better mother, wife, and teacher in my busy world.
I subscribed to your mailing list. Look forward to hearing more from you.
I clicked like at the end of the post.
I would love an ebook on family rituals like game nights or tea time, etc. Ideas that could help families spend time together.

1) I already subscribe to your bookstore newsletter (which is how I found out about your promotion)
2) I don’t do readers, but I did subscribe to your blog via email
3) It is extremely difficult to select a favorite item at Vision Forum, so I’d have to say the most interesting item right now id the book entitled, “A Scottish Christian Heritage” We wpent tim in Edinburgh in Dec 2010, and I think this book would enhance our study of Scotland and it’s impact of the history of Christianity.
4) I posted about your blog and Vision Forum give-away.
5) I just submitted a friend request to your FB page.
6) I did indeed hit the like button at the end of this post and I indeed do like it!
7) Some ebook ideas: 1) How to create family mission/service projects, 2)How to utilize the internet, FB, twitter, etc. for God’s glory Hmm, that’s all I can think of off the top of my head!
Thank you for your wonderful freebie e-books, your encouragement through your blog, and for sponsoring this give-away!

Another ebook idea which I think might help many folks would be “How to be a Biblical Mentor” – I often feel I missed out of being mentored by the older women in the churches I’ve attended. I grew up a preachers’ kid and am now a military wife, so I’ve been a part of several churches and unfortunately, I’ve just not seen many older women trying to take the younger women in their congregation under their wings. Now that I am of the mentoring age, I think a handbook (for lack of a better term) might come in handy.
I would like to have the audio set from the baby conference or this family set.
I’m on your mailing list.
I liked this post.
Another ebook idea is necessities for a new baby.
