What Is a Family?: A Catechism for Diagnosing and Restoring the Christian Home

Use this book to pass on the RICHNESS of the DOCTRINE and FUNCTIONALITY of the FAMILY to coming GENERATIONS.

Our culture today is in ruins because we’ve spurned God’s vision for family life.

This catechism reclaims Scripture’s teaching on:

• God’s Design for Family and Marriage
• The Biblical Roles of Men and Women
• How Singles Should Prepare and Pursue Marriage
• The Duties of a Husband and Wife
• The Blessing of Children
• Fatherhood & Motherhood
• Family Worship
• The Duties of Sons and Daughters
• Death and Burial
• Generational Legacy
• And much more!

Using a simple question-and-answer format, it gives robust but concise definitions of what a family is and how God designed the home to function.

Not only is each answer given from Scripture, but foundational Scripture verses are provided for each topic to help you build your understanding from the Bible itself.

Each section also features:

• Family discussion questions
• Simpler prompts for younger children
• A suggested hymn and memory verse

In answer to the lies of our age, teach your children what the Bible says about the beauty and mission of the family.
