Dr. Joshua Straub

No one wakes up and decides, "I'm planning to ruin my marriage, neglect my kids, and cause mistrust in my family." Yet our personal pursuits and busyness can lead us there. In this book, marriage and leadership coaches Dr. Josh and Christi Straub show how seven core decisions can help us put what's most important center stage in our lives.

Famous at Home is Josh and Christi's realistic, grace-filled look at the struggles families face in a culture that competes for their time, attention, and identity. Whether you've found yourself putting more effort into becoming famous on stages outside the home, or your stage is the home, Famous at Home offers guidance and inspiration to help you give your family the best version of you instead of your leftovers.

Famous at Home will help you and your spouse

• Be on the same team--fighting for each other and not against each other
• Stay emotionally connected even if work, distance, or busyness are in the way
• Deeply invest in the emotional lives of your children

You really can be famous at home, showing up in intentional and meaningful ways for your biggest fans. All it takes is realizing that the greatest red carpet you'll ever walk is through your front door.

Young Willow is a worrier. She's just moved to a new neighborhood, and with it comes a new lineup of questions and doubts. What if there are tornadoes here? What if I trip getting on the bus? What if my dad loses his new job? What if a star falls out of the sky and lands on my dog?

Sometimes silly but always real, Willow's worries keep her from enjoying her new home, from resting well, and from working with classmates. Thankfully, she has wise parents and some new friends to help her along and to teach her the biblical way to deal with her emotions.

Today's world can be overwhelming to children, who are experiencing worry and anxiety at younger ages and unprecedented levels. Dr. Josh and Christi Straub--authors, leaders, and family advocates--are passionate about giving parents knowledge and resources to help their children navigate these emotions. The couple offered their wisdom and relevance in their first picture book, What Am I Feeling? and they continue to do so in this follow-up board book, matching a fun story with practical lessons and memorable mantras to help kids not only face down their worry today but as they grow into tomorrow as well.

Argues that the most important thing to provide as a parent is a place of emotional safety, a foundation that is intended to help a child live, love, and lead well.
