"Raising a G-Rated Family in an X-Rated World gives us a value-filled beacon of hope to a world where the mass media inundates children’s minds with its own brazen agenda. At the cynosure of parenting, Brent and Phelecia Hatch bring us back to traditional values, encouraging parents to raise children with healthy communication, nurturing discipline and, above all, love and attention."

–Kenneth W. Starr, Dean and Professor of Law, Pepperdine University

"Juggling life as a pro baseball player and a father of eight children can be challenging beyond words, every single day. In my profession, I had coaches that helped me see what I needed to do, how to do it, and how I could be better.

This book gives you the Hatches as your parenting coaches."

As an adult, I can truly appreciate the work and sacrifices that my parents made to shield me from the social standards that surround us daily. I urge each and every parent to make the investment in their child and read this book. Your children will thank you, just like I thank my parents, for the lasting impression that you will make on them."
