Indeed. RIP
Didn’t he write the book “The Strong-Willed Wife?”
Oh, wait. *Child*.
Aww...I liked Dr. Dobson. I got to meet him in person and shook his hand, several years ago at a convention he put on for us. I listened to his show on the radio in the afternoons as I did dishes. It was always I Interrupted by afternoon thunderstorms and the station was over 500 miles away,but I loved that show.
His books saved my child’s life ( So to speak) as I had a special child who left me clueless about raising a child like that, but Dobson knew how to address it, I took his advice and my son grew into a wonderful man.
I hope he is well received 🙏 in his new home may he be blessed!!
Condolences to family and friends of James Dobson.
A great man. Big news in the 1980s and 1990s. RIP.
