Description
What do the home and the church have in common? In Growing in Two Families, we see that both were instituted by God to multiply His image bearers. To be sure, the domestic sphere and the ecclesiastical sphere are distinct, each having its own authority, domain, and means. The family originated with creation, and the church springs from Christ’s redeeming work. Nevertheless, they both, in their respective ways, are instrumental in raising up a godly people who reflect the beauty of the Lord. Contributors include Michael P. V. Barrett, Joel R. Beeke, Gerald M. Bilkes, Hensworth W. C. Jonas, Jonathan L. Master, Stephen G. Myers, and Richard D. Phillips.
Endorsements
“This book is a rare find. It is immensely practical and soundly doctrinal at the same time. It is difficult to find books like this in the twenty-first century that address the interplay between both the church and the family in one volume. Growing in Two Families sets the record straight, revealing God’s beautiful, integrated design for the church and the family. God is a family man through and through. Unfortunately, most religious leaders in the twenty-first century have ignored this. This book reminds me of the many volumes released in the Reformation and Puritan eras that sought to recover the doctrine of the family in their generation. Now, these contemporary authors are serving our generation in the same way. Heed the authors in this book, and you will find refreshment for your two families.”
