By John Loren and Paula Sandford, Charisma House, softcover, 320 pages, $14.99.
Books on parenting tips and marriage advice abound on bookstore shelves. But John Loren and Paula Sandfords' approach examines the entire structure and interaction of the Christian family. They emphasize that Christian values must be the basis of every aspect of the family, from marriage to discipline to nurturing and everything in between. The Sandfords stress that Christian families develop and thrive when each member first focuses on his relationship to God, and that parents should not try to be perfect, depending instead upon allowing Christ to lead and work within the family. But they don't limit their teaching to just the traditional family. They also discuss such topics as divorce, remarriage and grown children returning to live at home. The Sandfords provide wise insights into biblical principles from which all Christian families can benefit. Click here to purchase this book.
