Faith in the Family Honoring and Strengthening Home and Spirit

Is the institution of the family in trouble? If so, is there hope for restoration? While many authors and commentators are bemoaning the loss of family values and nuclear families, few have presented such convincing examples of how these values, or the family itself, can thrive in today's world. Faith in the Family illustrates what families offer to children and parents alike. The lessons are powerfully conveyed through stories from the author's personal life as well as from people with very different backgrounds. References from scripture and quotations from poets, memoirists, and novelists provide further insight.Chapters address the need for connection to family, making childhood a happy time, repaying and caring for parents as they age, the place of religion in the family, when love is betrayed, marriage and divorce, and the value of family throughout human lives.Salwak, Dale is the author of 'Faith in the Family Honoring and Strengthening Home and Spirit' with ISBN 9781577311607 and ISBN 1577311604.
