About this title

Synopsis

This illuminating and practical guide is designed to help Chritians recover from the experience of growing up in a dysfunctuional family. Offering profiles of dysfunctional families from contemporary Christian life and from the Old and New Testaments, the authors help readers examine their pasts and indentify their current issues. They reveal the the traits of dysfunctional and healthy families and show how growing up in a dysfunctional family can lead to a distorted view of God. The authors explore codependecy, compulsive behavior, Twelve-Step groups, and dysfunction within the Cristian community. They also show how the church can foster recovery through church-sponsored programs and support groups.
