This provocative look at the modern home offers clear answers for families in crisis and for those who want to restore their families to biblical foundations.
The Hebraic roots of Christian faith establish the home as a small sanctuary. The Christian family was always designed by God to be the center for spiritual growth and maturity, a place of sanctity and security, a temple in miniature.
The home has a three-fold spiritual and social function, fellowship and personal interaction, study and learning, and prayer and worship. These powerful dynamics can now be experienced in every Christian home. You too, can restore this vital part from the Hebraic faith of Jesus and the apostles by making your home a family sanctuary and your family a center for spiritual development.
As you read this book, youll be amazed at how your family life will be revolutionized and immeasurably enriched simply by restoring biblically Hebraic perspectives on the home.
