Family Life: A Simple Guide to the Biblical Family

Every Christian family is like a garden, which sometimes grows greener and sometimes gets a little brown around the edges. How green is your family garden? This little book covers a big picture overview of the Christian family, complete with biblical principles, practical suggestions, discussion questions, and helpful resources for further study. It is a culmination of wisdom from multiple generations, intended for the restoration of healthy family gardens in this postmodern wasteland of disintegrated family life.

Almost every chapter of the book recovers something that was largely lost in the last century―family discipleship, family economy, family honor, family relationships, family culture, family freedoms, family worship, and family life. Author Kevin Swanson warns of the toxic influences that threaten the family garden, and guides parents in cultivating their own family gardens and yielding a great spiritual crop.

Kevin Swanson is married to Brenda, and they have five wonderful children. Kevin hosts a daily family radio program called “Generations,” and he is the author of sixteen books. He has served as pastor of a church in the South Denver Metro area for over 15 years. Over the years, his entire family has teamed up to produce radio programs and news broadcasts, provide hospitality to families traveling through the area, publish and distribute Christian books, and organize evangelistic outreaches and conferences.
