You probably remember me and Jeff. We were in your first official class along with Alan and Dorie, our good friends. We thank God for your ministry and pray for you always. Israel is a great joy to us and a credit to his family .All you said about the teenage years was true. He was fun at every stage. There were wrinkles here and there but Israel was characterized by obedience and a cheerful spirit. Our reward and yours is that he wants to raise his children like he was raised. Keep up the good work. In Christ, Yolanda

I think all the changed lives and families are a testimony to what you are doing. I am so thankful that the wisdom that God has given you both in this area is available to us in such a practical form. It has allowed me to make my practice a ministry instead of just a job. We are now filling our classes with couples from my office and have a waiting list of people to get in. My only advice would be to find a group of Biblical elders, be accountable to them, and God will continue to be faithful and bless your ministry Doctor in Tenn.

We met once in Hawaii. We have taken Growing Kids God's way once, and facilitated the class 4 times. We are beginning our 5th time in a new church in Pasadena after moving from Hawaii. Your ministry has blessed us, over and over. We are enjoying two teen-aged girls, a 12, 10 and 6 year old boys. God's wisdom expressed in GFI materials continues to guide us. We have taken Prep. for Parenting, Prep for Toddler, and we received Reaching the Heart of Your Teen. Thank you for your obedience to the Lord's call. Jeff

Praising God for people who care and are willing to lay down their lives to help others!!! We appreciate you and all that you do. Be Encouraged....you are getting through...loud and clear!

I had someone tell me on Monday that her testimony stemmed from GKGW. After having recently delivered her first baby she saw her neighbor get out of her van after shopping. She was amazed to see the entire family hop out and empty the van with smiles. She exclaimed "The mom walked in with only her purse!" She knew she had to find out more about that family. They gave her Prep for Parenting and she and her husband evidently received Christ soon after. Neat huh?

I would just like to take this opportunity to say THANKYOU for your ministry. At the beginning of this year my husband and I completed “Growing Kids God's Way". The course has changed my life!! I have always settled for mediocrity. I have been challenged to excellence "doing all to the glory of God". I value my role as a wife and mother with much higher esteem than before.
Thankyou in Christ, Aleisha , Australia.

I have been meaning to write to you and thank you for the tremendous help Growing Kids has made in our lives. We have two small children, a girl 5 and a boy almost 2. Babywise works! So does Growing Kids! My husband is deployed to Iraq and I have been alone for almost 3 months. Without the tools that I have, I would have been in terrible shape. My family are not in a position to help me at all and I am very much on my own but I see the fruit of God's work (through your ministry) in my children.

I thank God for you and Mr. Ezzo and I know without a doubt that you completely changed the way I would have parented (having been brought up in a non Christian home). My children are a joy to be with (most of the time!). Even my 2 year old (who was signing before he spoke) is now coming into the fold so to speak and I know his Daddy will be proud of the way I have coped and continued to nurture and raise him while he is gone. I could not have done it without your help and if I never get to thank you personally in this life, I will give you a big hug in heaven!!
Sincerely Wendy

 

I just wanted to commend you on your Preparation for Parenting workbooks. I am amazed at how people criticize your work and just don't get it. I am a proven example of how your materials work. I have an 8 year old that when he was 5 months old was up all night. Between my husband and I it was impossible to get any rest. A friend introduced me to your materials and in three nights our son was sleeping through the night. The other principals were equally as helpful not to mention saving our sanity and enhancing our marriage. When our second son was born three years later I already had materials in hand to begin his routine from the beginning. It was awesome. At seven weeks he was sleeping through the night and totally satisfied. The wisdom of your books helped bring biblical principles to light for our family. I am now expecting our third child and I plan to read through the workbook yet a third time to prepare our family for his/her arrival. Thank you so much for your wisdom and words. God has really blessed us through you.

I was amazed at the negative feedback I saw on different web-sites. I was 33 when God gave us our first child through adoption. We had been married 9 years. I can say for sure that without PDF, I would have gone crazy:) I have shared PDF with others, some like it some don't. But the very best thing people said to me when Seth was little was, "he is always so calm, he never seems to cry".....this was a perfect opening to say, well let me tell you.

I will pray for your ministry. Thank you so much for the help you gave us for our child. There is much more I could tell you, but I don't want to write a book. Just wanted to let you know you made a difference in our lives. Now, my almost 6 year old is joy for us and others to be around and God is using him even at an early age. Thank you,
Deanna

Thank you for GKGW wisdom! Our first child was almost four when we heard about it, and our second was one year old. We always said that our third would be a GKGW kid from the start! Ben is almost four months old and following the steps in Babywise has been such a blessing!! He slept through the night at 7 1/2 weeks and nurses on a 3-4 hour schedule. We just returned from a church conference which we never would have attempted in the past with our older boys, both of whom were demand fed. And by the way, our older two have been making great progress since we actually began to train them to Biblical standards. Our oldest, now six, attends Harvest Community School in Jacksonville, FL. Another blessing that came as a result of our exposure to GKGW. THANK YOU!!!
Sincerely, Glenn and Vicki

I do not know what I would have done without "Preparation for Parenting". Both of my sons started sleeping eight consecutive hours through the night at approximately six weeks of age each and continued to stretch their sleep cycles to eleven consecutive hours. At every well-baby checkup the doctor would exclaim how well my sons were thriving!It is amazing to read some parenting magazines that when asked, tell mothers that their babies should start sleeping through the night at three months of age! It is hard for me to bite my tongue and not share this book with mothers unless asked how I directed my babies to sleep through the night. My sons are now 21/2years and 6 months of age. We are now enrolled in a "Growing Kids God's Way" class and the skills we are learning are amazing! In fact those enrolled, along with our leaders, think it should be titled "Growing Parents God's Way" because of all the information we learn. I thank the Ezzo's for obeying God's direction and putting together all of these helpful tools to guide us along this interesting jouney of parenting!
