Description
Summary:Today, when many other organizations and institutions would like to promote themselves as “family,” Scripture tells us that in many significant ways, the church is to live its life out like a family. Joseph Hellerman has written two books in this area that Stephen J. Kemp reflects on in this extended book review essay. We hope it will be of help to you in thinking through ways to both better integrate family ministry in the life of the church, and help our churches live out the family relationship God has called us to. - Editor
