Heather said...: I remember the time I first heard of you because I had just begun to explore God's idea of family - letting Him plan it. I only had 2 children and was courious about the ins and outs of a large family. I saw your book "Yes, they are all ours" at CBD and I really wanted it. I went to order but it was on hold. I remember being disappointed - but then I learned why it was on hold (you were taking care of Josh). When I did get the book, I remember searching Josh out on the cover and just thinking about your family and what you were dealing with.
We have 8 children now and have read most of your books - as a matter of fact I also sell your books. We love your family.

Heather; August 8, 2011 at 9:45 AM
ScottsHelper said...: It was so long ago now, but I must have heard about you through the recommendation of someone else through a website about how much their children loved "Uncle Rick". I looked you up, but because at the time there was no sample of an Uncle Rick recording, I waited to make a purchase. Several years later, I came across your name again, and this time when I looked at your website, there was a sample! So, immediately after listening and discovering that this would be well worth our money and time to buy and listen to, I bought a number of Uncle Rick recordings. Now my children LOVE Uncle Rick and talk about the things they have learned from him quite frequently! Thanks so much, Boyer family!; August 8, 2011 at 9:45 AM

messengerfamily said...: I read your book Creative Parenting about 7 years ago, I found it at a second hand store and had no idea who the Boyer family was but I fell in love with them through the book. I loved the book and passed it around eventually needing to buy another. I drove 4 hours last year to see you at the OCEAN confrence in Portland, OR. I like to say I bought the book before Vision Forum sold it :) Thank you for your ministry. Raymie; August 8, 2011 at 11:15 AM

SaraA said...: I have loved your family for over 4 years! I first picked up a used copy of "Yes, they're all ours" at a curriculum sale for $1, and looked up the Learning Parent online. I requested your last print catalog, and spent delightful hours reading all the updates on your family and memorizing all your children. I have been a faithful follower of the blog since it has existed! :)
