Building a God Centred Family
Author: Matthew Henry; Editor: Scott Brown
Matthew Henry is known worldwide in our time as the author of his famous commentary on the Scriptures. But far less known in our day is the fact that Henry was an emblem of faithful fatherhood during his lifetime. Henry took his duties as a father seriously. And it showed. One observer noted that the Henry household was like unto the "gates of heaven” where he and his wife governed all family life by the Word of God.
As an English non-conformist pastor, Henry carried his passion for family discipleship into the pulpit. On April 16, 1704, he preached an abundantly practical sermon entitled, A Church in the House: A Sermon Concerning Family-Religion, as an encouragement to fathers to develop the spiritual life of their families in their homes. Henry exhorted that “every house should be a little church”. His point was not that the home should replace the church, but that the home should become a fountain of blessing for both the local church and the community at large.

This little book offers a big picture overview of the Christian family, complete with biblical principles, practical suggestions, discussion questions, and helpful resources for further study.
0This book presents a perspective on the family largely forgotten by the modern church. There are fifty-six authors featured in this volume; authors such as: John Bunyan, Jo 2 nathan Edwards, John Gill, William Gouge, Matthew Henry, Martin Luther, A.W. Pink, J. C. Ryle, R. C. Sproul, Charles Spurgeon and Thomas Watson. Each of them give a powerful testimony that the twenty-first century church needs to be reminded of what she used to believe about family life. These authors bring a measure of the correction and the balm necessary to heal our amnesia and return us to biblical order.
In this book, I help parents navigate local church life through the ordinary means of grace in preaching, singing, praying, fellowship, and even in the hardships and trials.
A Christ-focused, Scripture-filled resource for family worship.
In 2003, inspired by USAF Colonel Rick Husband of the space shuttle Columbia, A.J. Genco set out to write a devotional for his own family, laboring over it for ten years.
While the doctrine of salvation was being reformed during the sixteenth century, so were the doctrines of marriage, manhood, womanhood, courtship, child raising, fertility, abortion, and almost every other area that touches family life.
Imagine what it would be like an Artic winter where, for three months, world was in complete darkness.
The winter was dark and there was a spiritual darkness too. But, this spiritual darkness was being pushed back by the power of the Gospel and the Lord Jesus Christ that Jack Turner followed. Using medicine to heal bodies and the gospel to heal souls, he had come to this inhospitable land to translate God’s Word into the native language.
It was a world of snow and hunting and anyone who lived there had to become familiar with the difficult way of living in the arctic. Danger is around every corner in the wild North – and Jack runs into trouble. Dive in and join Jack Turner for an epic journey through the wilderness.

An eye opening and searching book on the cultural developments and how to apply Scriptures in our lives, such as music and movies. An excellent book for the youth.

He urges readers to reject these influences and calls for repentance and a change in worldview. Swanson critiques various aspects of popular culture, including movies, music, tattoos, video games, literature, sports, and more, arguing that Christians often fall victim to worldly philosophies and cultural devices. The book challenges Christians to be more discerning in their engagement with culture, grounded in biblical truth.

Hospitality, or showing love to strangers, is a Christian duty (Rom. 12:13). It does not require fine china, multiple courses, or perfectly clean and decorated homes. It requires that we share our time, homes, meals, and fellowship with others—and if we understand salvation as God showing hospitality to former enemies, we will want to do so. Thinking through the practical issues of inviting people into our homes can make practicing it easier. This booklet presents seven ways that can help us think practically about how to follow our Lord’s command in this area.
In Feminine by Design, Scott Brown provides a clear explanation of biblical femininity, exploring the major passages of Scripture that explain it along with the texts he used to teach the concept to his own daughters as he sought to “bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4).

Of all of the possible curriculum choices used for the education of our children, the most important textbook of all is that which God Himself presented in the book of Proverbs. This book is the core curriculum. It is God's book on how to live life on planet earth. To disregard this book in the education of our children would be a colossal error. This study guide is the fruit of seven years of daily instruction in the book of Proverbs on the part of homeschooling father, pastor, and author, Kevin Swanson.
