by Tricia Goyer >> The Goyer home—with two parents, eight kids, and one 88-year-old grandmother with dementia—is never without noise, mess, activity, and, often, complaining. They decided to tackle the impossible: a grumble-free year. With grade-schoolers, teenagers, and a grandmother who believes children should be seen and not heard, plenty of room existed for flunking the challenge. Add to that seven children being homeschooled together in close quarters, and what could possibly go awry? The Goyers invite readers into their journey as they go complaint-free and discover what it looks like to develop hearts of gratitude. They share their plans, successes, failures, and all the lessons they learn along the way, offering real-life action steps based on Scripture.
