In the book, Expectations: They Can Make You or Break You, Eric Jackson presents some thought provoking information about expectations. Because our expectations are so routine, like breathing, thinking, or walking, he gives many examples to show the importance of expectations. This is an excellent book for families. It discusses different levels of expectations and different levels of faith, including discussions of our expectations of God and prayer. It discusses expectations of family members including expectations for teenagers who want to "leave" home. Also included are discussions on how decisions and prosperity affect expectations.

Rev. Theodore Brown, DD, says "The book is profound and consistent with different life experiences. The author's point of view adheres to Christian values in understanding scripture and applying it to everyday life. He gives his audiences insight with the support of his Christian beliefs."
