author: Roger Small
description: "Whether you're new to grandparenting or blessed with not only grandchildren, but also great-grandchildren, Grandparenting will inspire you to embrace the critically important role God has given you in your family. This is a book that can change your life and the lives of the precious ones God has entrusted to you."-Marlene Bagnull, Litt.D., Author, Speaker, Editor, Publisher, Director, Write His Answer Ministries "This book will both encourage and equip grandparents to fulfill their God-ordained calling-and to thoroughly enjoy the journey along the way! I have had the privilege of knowing Roger and Dottie Small for 42 years, 36 of those years as their son-in-law. On behalf of their 3 daughters, 3 sons-in-law, 13 grandchildren, and 16 great-grandchildren, I am thankful to the Smalls for modeling Christ-exalting godliness to multiple generations, and for now sharing their lives in this book. Their lives and their words 'sing aloud' of the goodness and faithfulness of God. You will want to soak in every detail!"-Warren Boettcher, Senior Pastor, Sovereign Grace Church

  Roxanne was stunned, speechless at first, and then firm in denial. “That is
  ridiculous, sir. I do not know how you could suggest such a thing. You do not
  know me—and I do not know you. Even if I agreed, it would be wrong to deceive
  your grandfather so cruelly.”
  
  Luke frowned. “Last night, you said it could be a business arrangement. What
  is different about my proposal?”
  
  “I meant a young woman of good family who would marry without love for the
  sake of a home and children—a lady who would be content to remain at home in
  the country, while you lived as you pleased in town. Is that not the way many
  marriages are arranged?”
