In the lives of many people, the family is becoming less and less important. There are numerous demands on our time from outside the family, so much so that for many the home is little more than a convenient place to sleep, grab a bite to eat, and get the laundry done. The writers in Living and Growing Together are convinced that there is much that families -- especially Christian families -- can do to deepen the ties and strengthen the spiritual dimension of the home. Each writer speaks out of the depths of his or her heart and life. Each presents a helpful, hopeful approach to the cultivation and maintenance of a stable, Christ-like home. - Back cover.
