Give God the Glory!: The Godly Family Life

Front Cover
Writing for the Lord, 2005 - Family & Relationships - 230 pages
Book #4 in the series is a detailed analysis of what the Bible teaches and instructs concerning the roles of the father, mother and children, despite man's intention to alter God's plan for the family. This book continues in the tradition of the Give God the Glory! books and devotionals, with a unique focus on the biblical purpose and role of the father, mother, and child(ren). In this book, readers will clearly understand that the man is the foundation of the family, the family is the foundation of the church, and the church is the foundation of our nation. We will glorify God through the family unit and understand our specific roles within the family structure as God intended. To this end, our Heavenly Father is glorified as we, His earthen vessels, demonstrate to the world the beauty and fulfillment of The Godly Family Life. Considered a best seller Christian book, The Godly Family Life is a ministry tool for men and women to better understand the ordained institution of "family." Choosing a Christian book should be a means to develop and maintain a Godly family life, thus, becoming a case for faith. The faith lessons contained within the pages of these faith books, The Godly Family Life, and the devotional companion, Your Role in Your Family, are explored in detail and explain the roles of the man, woman, and children based upon God's Word. Every man's battle must be fertilized with the Word of God. Woman of faith, women for faith and woman faith are exemplified throughout chapters fifteen through twenty. The power of a praying wife is personified. Likewise, bringing up boys is an essential teaching tool found within its contents. Parenting with a purpose, parenting with purpose and the purpose driven life are manifested in our lives when we apply the Biblical principles and answer the thought-provoking questions that are found at the end of each chapter. Saving your marriage before it starts is a fundamental Christian principle.
