Brief Book Summary:
Deloris Jordan knows a thing or two about being a mom. She is the mother of five high-achieving children -- Ronald, Deloris, Larry, Michael, and Roslyn -- a sought-after national speaker on the family, and the volunteer president of the Michael Jordan Foundation. Her galvanizing message on encouraging responsibility and a passion for excellence has inspired parents across the country. Being the mother of basketball's greatest player has given Deloris Jordan a platform, but it's her experience bringing up an accomplished family in a challenging environment, along with her deep commitment to church and community, that gave her the expertise she passes on in this invaluable handbook for parents of children of all ages.Using warm anecdotes and never-before-told family stories, Jordan paints a realistic and uplifting portrait of the potential power of parents. She explores the universal goals that parents set for their children -- self-discipline, responsibility, perseverance, moral values, and the desire to achieve -- and explains the practical tools and strategies theJordan family uses to realize those goals. And through personal examples and wise, plainspoken insight, Deloris Jordan challenges, guides, and encourages parents who long to do everything they can to help their children learn, grow, prosper, and succeed.

Deloris Jordan's book, Family First is a must read for all parents. This much needed book gives a down to earth look at the Jordan household and the family dynamics which produced 5 successful, balanced children.
The very first time I met the author she stood out as a remarkable woman with much wisdom. Her book with its insights and wisdom in rearing children is everything I imagined it would be including the humour and warmth of endearing episodes.
I would recommend it to anyone, but especially to parents.

"I remember sitting on the patio behind our house with Ray on warm summer evenings."(chapter 7) Everytime she and Ray shared time together. And Ray adviced and encouraged her. I leaned from this book the important role of a husband. "If one member suffers, all suffer together with it ;if one member is honored,all rejoice togehter with it."(1 corinthians 14-26)
