A NEW DESIGN FOR FAMILY MINISTRY ... getting your church and its families working and growing together. Cutting through the confusion-and competition-of church and family, Dr. Dennis Guernsey explains how the family is the most natural and effective place for your church to fulfill its mission. He also explains how your church can become more sensitive to its families' needs at each stage of their life cycle. Guernsey's model for marriage and family ministry will help your church • involve its families without disrupting them • develop ways for families to encourage and support each other • prevent-not just remedy-family crises • and build meaningful, lasting relationships in an age of alienation. An important book for pastors and Christian leaders. Dr. Dennis B. Guernsey is associate professor of Marriage and Family Ministries and director of the Institute for Marriage and Family Ministries, Fuller Theological Seminary. Guernsey is an experienced Christian counselor, family sociologist, ordained minister, and respected educator. He has also written A Study Guide to Dare to Discipline (1972), Thoroughly Married (1976), and If I'm So Free, How Come I Feel Boxed In? (1978).

Family Covenant: Love and Forgiveness in the Christian Home

Parenting & Relationships

This is a reprint of a book first published in 1984 by David C. Cook Publishing Co. Still much in demand, especially in seminaries and Christian colleges as a text for Marriage and Family Counseling courses, it is being reissued by Hope Publishing House. The theme of the book is "When spouses, parents and children agree to live together in love--despite their imperfections--they form a special bond. It's called a 'family covenant.' Based on years of research and practice in family ministry, Dr. Dennis Guernsey explains how this covenant can affect your family and families in your church."

THE FAMILY COVENANT--Love and Forgiveness in the Christian Home

Hope Pub. House

In this book, Ray S. Anderson, a pastor theologian, and Dennis B. Guernsey, a family sociologist, explore the connections that produce the marvelous, complicated and often contorted human family. The central thesis of the book is that God has placed human persons in a created order for which the covenant love of God provides the fundamental paradigm for parenting, sexuality, and marriage, and the formation of family life. From the perspective of the church as the new family of God, the human family is liberated from its own failures and fears, and each person is affirmed as having a place in God's kingdom. Through Jesus Christ, to whom we are connected by grace, we are all brothers and sisters. We are family.
