Publisher's Synopsis
"So . . . who does the dishes?" Sound familiar? Today's families are caught in the undertow of a rapidly changing world and struggling to stay a_ oat. Traditional roles are changing, and uncertainty and lack of structure in modern marriage has wreaked havoc on American homes. Due to our increasingly unstable foundations, our children are feeling disposable, and our relationships have become brutal. At times, it seems as though we have lost all control of our lives. But all is not lost. In Get Thine House in Order, Dr. Michael A. Brown offers solid teaching on God's design for the home. This sensitive and sensible material will help families of every kind move to greater levels of peace and stability. By examining God's intended roles for marriage and discussing the issues of communication, intimacy, and child rearing, Dr. Brown provides hope in an increasingly troubled society. This theological and practical book is a must-have for preachers, teachers, family therapists, and anyone seeking a practical and proven guide to a healthy family life. "As a grandparent who watches with a little dismay the dual trends of treating children as if they are the centers of the universe and completely discarding corporal punishment in any and every case, I am impressed with his discussion of those issues because he doesn't merely state his opinion--he backs it up with abundant scriptural references and exegesis." -Carolyn Goss, Editor
