Family in Mission: Theology and Praxis

Innumerable books have been written about successful outreach and evangelism yet almost none address the centrality of the family as Gods intended vehicle for experiencing life community and growth. In this timely and powerful book Johannes Reimer urges us to rediscover the family as a primary agent for mission in the world. Offering both a theological and practical foundation for understanding the role and significance of families in the vocation of the church this book also provides creative ideas for implementing a family-centered praxis that offers preparation and support to families living out their calling to make Christ known.To ignore the family Reimer warns is to ignore the churchs greatest resource for transmitting truth communicating love and embodying the gospel. If we are to be effective in making disciples of all nations we must start in our own homes.
