5.0 out of 5 stars God used this book to change my life., April 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Christian Family, The (Paperback)

An earlier edition of this book was given to my husband and me as a wedding gift. I am convinced that the Lord used this book to change our preconceived notions of marriage and help us build a union that has blossomed and grown for 27 years. Now I am ordering it to give to my son and his new bride with prayers that it will be used just as mightily in their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Very Best, March 11, 2000

Ray Sais, Jr. (Brownsville, Tx United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christian Family, The (Paperback)

This book has been used in our church as a counseling tool as well as taught from the pulpit. It is one we recommend to all aspiring teachers and anyone who works with children and families in general. Pastor Christenson has provided exceptional information in this book. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple guideline to a Christian Family, April 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Christian Family, The (Paperback)

My mother sent me an earlier additon of this wonderful book. I never read it totally or indepth as I have recently. I am now ordering this newer edition for my children and friends. So simple is the truth though sometimes hard to see until it is in print in front of your eyes and your heart is ready to accept it.
