More than a manual on raising children or a treatise on the biblical basics of family life, The Shaping of a Christian Family sheds light on the many facets of family living: homely joys and shared troubles, triumphs and tragedies, difficult choices and rich rewards. Readers who have not had the solid foundations of a strong and godly home will find here not only a pattern worth considering but fresh insights which answer the deep desires of the human heart. - Jacket flap.
