Publisher's Synopsis
The theme of the title reflects the Apostle Paul's exhortation to the churches in Galatia and Rome, as new creations in Christ Jesus, to put on Christ in our lives (Romans 13:14; Galatians 3:27). This study on the family is by no means intended to be the final word on the subject. Furthermore, my own efforts at building and modeling a Christ-honoring family have often fallen short of my own expectations-not to mention God's directives on the subject. Our family has certainly had its share of challenges, at least it seems that way to me. Nonetheless, I am convinced I have unearthed some important truths regarding the family along the way. In the pages of Scripture, we glean much information helpful in studying the subject of family. Some parents, like too many of us, fell far short of perfection. However, other accounts provide brilliant glimpses of a Christ-like family. So I sincerely pray the following pages will reveal nuggets of truth applicable to your own family. Furthermore, I pray Christ will reveal Himself to you and your family as you clothe yourselves in Him. And as you do so, I am convinced the world around you will see Christ reflected in you.
