Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson Author "Relentless Redemption" Co-Host The 700 Club Canada lauralynn.tv Strong nations are built on strong foundations. Strong foundations are forged by strong leaders who all have a family of origin that helped establish their values and allow opportunities to learn through adversity. Strong families launch young men and women into their churches, communities, and their country to make them better. None of the strength of the individual, or the church, or the community comes by accident. It is built intentionally in the home, by parents who are imparting wisdom from the only true source - the Creator and Sustainer of all. Parents who parent intentionally and help guide their children to acknowledge God early on in a personal relationship are partnering in the work of forging a better tomorrow. Leanne has chosen to impart wisdom in one of the areas most needed in today's culture. She raises the value of parenting, of family, and of being faith-focused, in a culture that says you are better on your own. It takes a village and villages consist of healthy and functional faith-filled families. Leanne focuses not only on principles but practicality in this rich offering called A Parent's Best Gift.
