| COLORADO SPRINGS – Oct. 29, 2014 – In early October, hundreds of thousands of people worldwide saw the inaugural film in Dr. James Dobson’s BUILDING A FAMILY LEGACY series during its simulcast world premiere. The Legacy project caps the decades-long career of America’s best-known family expert and encompasses eight films, eight books and eight study guides. More than 7,000 churches and other groups simulcast YOUR LEGACY, the first film in the series. The full series, books and guides are available now for individuals, families and church libraries at Christian retailers. “This is the culmination of my life’s pursuit—helping parents build a family legacy of faith that will endure for generations,” Dr. Dobson said. “Despite what the media and popular culture claim, there is deep hunger for a family emphasis on faith and passing our values on to the next generation. The worldwide turnout for BUILDING A FAMILY LEGACY shows it.” Simulcast sites spanned 49 states and 21 countries. Dr. Dobson’s vital encouragement for families reached many areas that are especially challenging for faith messages to penetrate, including Malaysia, China and Afghanistan. The centerpiece of BUILDING A FAMILY LEGACY is an eight-DVD series that combines four updated films from Dr. Dobson’s classic Focus on the Family videos, with four new films from Dr. Dobson and his son, Ryan. The simulcast film, YOUR LEGACY, is a personal story of faith that traces Dr. Dobson’s own family history. His great-grandfather started daily prayers over a century ago that the next four generations would be Christians. Viewers raved about YOUR LEGACY.
The Legacy project also includes revised and updated versions of classic works from Dr. Dobson. Titles include best-selling books such as Dare to Discipline, The Strong-Willed Child, Bringing Up Boys and Bringing Up Girls. These books are ready to introduce a new generation to Dr. Dobson’s advice and insight that has guided millions of parents around the world. BUILDING A FAMILY LEGACY films include

'Fatherless'--First Novel From Dr. James Dobson--Futuristic Thriller Torn From Today's Headlines
FROM DR. JAMES DOBSON, ‘FATHERLESS,’ FAITH-BASED THRILLER LAUNCHES JAN. 15
Dobson, Co-Author Kurt Bruner Take Readers to a Suspense-Filled Future Threatened by Problems Torn From Today’s Headlines
FatherlessWorld.com
NASHVILLE – Nov. 27, 2012 – Set in the future but torn from today’s headlines comes Fatherless (FaithWords/Hachette Book Group, Jan. 15, 2013), a relentlessly-paced, faith-based, dystopian thriller from Dr. James Dobson and Kurt Bruner. Launching Jan. 15, the first in a three-book series, Fatherless weaves characters readers will care about into colliding plotlines drawn from key issues facing America now.
Fatherless marks the first fiction work from noted psychologist and radio host Dr. James Dobson. Author of the groundbreaking works The Strong-Willed Child, Bringing Up Boys and Bringing Up Girls, Dobson’s books have sold more than 25 million copies worldwide.
“Often the best way to communicate vital truths is to weave them into a story,” Dobson said. “The New Testament parables offer a great example of that. Fatherless takes the demographic realities of today, combines them with our nation’s economic, moral and ethical drift and imagines a future 30 years from now that’s at once familiar and frightening.”
In the page-turning Fatherless, it’s 2042, and a long-predicted tipping point has arrived: For the first time, the elderly outnumber the vigorous young creating an untenable economic and moral situation. How will a debt-crippled nation pay for the health care needs of a growing number of seniors living longer? As laws change allowing the elderly to end their lives, they become viewed as financial liabilities, as do the disabled. Jaundiced eyes turn toward any couple with more than two children, making monetary problems worse. Caught in an intensifying battle between competing cultural agendas is reporter Julia Davidson—a journalist seeking to revive a flagging career; influential young Congressman Kevin Tolbert, a Christian facing his own dilemmas; and a supporting cast of engaging characters who find themselves deep in an ominous conspiracy. In the dystopian tradition of 1984, Brave New World and The Hunger Games, Fatherless projects the headlines of today into the desperate choices of tomorrow.
“What happens in a world where growing up with the protective love of a father becomes the exception rather than the norm? What happens when the very old outnumber the very young?” Dr. Dobson asks. “Demographers tell us the decline in marriage and parenthood is fueling an unprecedented drop in fertility. The global population soon will begin to decline. We already see, in places such as Japan and Russia, that economic turmoil always accompanies dwindling population as the few young and healthy are burdened with the ballooning aging and feeble. The best projections show America on a trajectory to tip downward in a few short decades. This book is a fictional account of what current demographic, sociological and cultural shadows portend. But it’s also a celebration of God’s design for families.”
With a Jan. 15, 2013, publication date, Fatherless is available for pre-order now, and it will be followed by additional books in the series, Childless (summer 2013) and Godless (2014).
Dr. James Dobson is known around the world for his commitment to encouraging godly families. Author of more than 80 books, Dr. Dobson currently heads Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk, a nonprofit ministry and radio program. For 14 years, he was an associate clinical professor of pediatrics at the University of Southern California School of Medicine and was on the attending staff of Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles for 17 years. He earned his doctorate in child development from USC. He founded and is chair emeritus of Focus on the Family.
