Book - 2019
"The most exciting part of any home improvement show is the big reveal--that moment when a drab, run-down house becomes a breathtaking new home. What if you could have that with your home life? That's what the DIY Guide is all about. In it, you'll find practical tools for transforming your home life and dramatically improving your family's culture from Shannon Warden and Dr. Gary Chapman, author of the New York Times #1 Bestseller The 5 Love Languages®. Each chapter teaches you a new home life skill and pairs it with a home improvement metaphor that makes it fun and easy to remember. You can't hire a contractor for this work, but if you're willing to put in the sweat equity (hard work), you'll see results... fast. Don't wait any longer. Get started today and give your relational space the renovations it deserves."--Back cover.
