Christian living in the home

This book is intended to serve two fundamental purposes. First, I hope that individuals and families will use this book on their own. In the home it may be used to evaluate, discuss, and improve on various aspects of the Christian home. I trust that it will point the way to God's solutions to problems. Second, this volume has been designed especially as an aid to Christian counselors. It may be used in conjunction with the counseling of husbands and wives, parents and children, or single members of the family. In the counseling of families, chapters may be assigned for reading and discussion between counseling sessions. The assignments at the end of chapters should be completed before the next session. In the case of premarital counseling, counselors may find it useful to assign chapters 4 through 7. - Preface.
