Covey takes it a step further and challenges every family to craft a family mission statement starting as newlyweds.Īs the father of nine children, Covey is a passionate advocate for preserving the integrity of the family unit, faced today with unprecedented societal-cultural paradigms and practices that threaten it. By way of example, have we not all heard about crafting a personal mission statement? Even if you haven’t done so yet, it is probably something you have thought about doing. Better yet, he knows how to apply these concepts to the family sphere where they typically don’t get applied.

In a society that is fueled by efficiency tactics, best practices, and mission objectives, Covey knows how to reach his audience. If there is any book that belongs on a parent’s bedside table (besides the Holy Bible), it should be this one: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families by Stephen Covey.
