"Chaos aptly describes the way many Americans experience family. Kids have games here, lessons there. Fathers, mothers, and teenagers all work. As a result, many families are fragmented and frayed. And chaos isn't isolated to our homes - it's endemic to American society. In the face of sweeping societal changes and pressures that are now transforming the very concept of what it means to be a family, many people are searching for firm ground to stand on." "In Beyond Chaos - Living the Christian Family in a World Like Ours Chris William Erdman boldly confronts the cultural changes that are transforming today's family. His skillful study of American culture and Scripture challenges readers to view the family as an expression of the gospel, church, and kingdom. This book will help readers to shape their families in such a way that they become authentic expressions of God's good news - men, women, and children who are dynamically connected to local Christian congregations and who live the Christian life day by day with passion and integrity wherever they live, work, and play."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
