There is a lot of talk these days about how churches need to become more "missional" and "Kingdom-focused"--but what about the families that make up our churches and often reflect the surrounding culture more than the Kingdom of God? Christian families know that God has a better purpose for marriage and family but often don't have the slightest idea how to get there. And while many books on Christian marriage and family are inwardly focused on simply getting along "better," this book addresses the cultural influences that have taken our focus away from God's intended purpose for marriage and family and, through analysis and practical suggestions, recalls marriages and families to the purpose for which God intended them in the first place--namely, to serve God's Kingdom as witnesses to a world desperately seeking deeper purpose and authenticity.
Autorenporträt
Trevecca Okholm began professional life as children and family pastor for twenty-five years before moving into academics. She teaches practical theology at Azusa Pacific University. After partnering with her husband of forty-seven years to raise two children, they have moved into the delightful role of grandparenting. Her first book, Kingdom Family: Re-Envisioning God's Plan for Marriage and Family (Cascade, 2012), was written to encourage and equip newly married couples and new parents in their role of being intentionally focused in marriage and family. In this new book, Trevecca speaks into the lives of those blessed to influence grandchildren, be they biological, adopted, or faith grandchildren.
