A Family of Grace

I think the most accurate description of the book would be by a well-known evangelical pastor who reviewed the manuscript of A FAMILY OF GRACE and then wrote the Foreword to the book: "God makes it very clear that He wants believing parents to take seriously the crucial needs to formally teach God's Word and spontaneously communicate a biblical perspective to their children in the various contexts and teachable moments of life. Yet as both a parent and a pastor I have asked the question, "Where do I begin with teaching my children and how can this be done effectively?" While the spontaneous communication of a biblical perspective to one's children must flow out of a parent's own walk of faith with the Lord and having the Word of God on the launching pad of their own thinking, a regular time of family devotions can be one means in seeking to formally teach our children. And to assist in this godly desire, Bryan Coupland has provided for parents a very helpful resource titled, A FAMILY OF GRACE - 100 Devotionals from Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians. Each of these 100 devotionals in A FAMILY OF GRACE includes a title, a Scripture text to be explained and often illustrated with a story, some questions from the text to be discussed, and then the right answers to the questions (so the parent and child can get it right). These devotional books truly fill a real void in biblical Christianity as there is little devotional material available for elementary age children into teens." D.R.
