Parenting from the Tree of Life
Preschool - Early Teen
Your class was offered as an incentive to gain early parole from prison. I thought, “why not, I’m stuck here anyway.” I never expected the blessing that came my way. Your words changed my life when everyone else gave up on me. I grew up with words of death and now I’m coming out of prison touched by the message of life. I will soon be reunited with my children, and I now have the confidence that I can be the Mom, God always intended for me to be. Thank you Anne Marie and Gary, Rich and Julie.

The formation of a child’s heart, mind and character requires sensitivity, understanding and a life-giving environment. Parenting from the Tree of Life equips parents to deliver these moral qualities.

Part Two: Life, Children and Character
Part Three: Life, Children, Encouragement and Correction
We join the chorus of voices that echo the same appreciation. Gary and Anne Marie, your life-giving message changed our world, saved our marriage, and renewed our family. A thousand thank yous and a thousand more still fall short of the heart felt appreciation for all that you have done for families around the world, especially ours.

My wife and I did not come from a Life-giving home environment—we didn’t even know such a thing existed. Now, years later, we shudder to think what would have happened to our family if friends didn’t introduce us to your teaching. Our lives have changed. . . yes, forever they have changed for the good.
