The Bible is universally recognised as the handbook of our faith and the New Testament as the written record of God's revelation in Christ. We know it, love it, trust it--and yet how did it come to be?This thought-provoking book examines the origins of the New Testament: the test of canonicity in the early days of the church, the process by which the canon was formed, and the close relationship between the content of the gospel and the concept of an apostle. Faith's Framework shows how, rather than being a dead part of church history, the question of the canon is a live question for Christians today, especially as they re-examine their own faith in the light of the original New Testament writings.

The 13 Common Issues of Rearing Children is The Family Booklet because every family should have a copy of it safe and handy in the home. The Family Booklet is a guide, checklist, and even a wake-up call to parents. The Family Booklet is not a thick book with a lot of theory and cross references. It is not based on family surveys, workshops, or complex evaluations. The Family Booklet is a short, concise, authoritative guide based on actual observations and experiences from within the family's home. It is not a psychologist's account nor one from a professional counselor, and there are no other references listed. But it is a unique on the job account from a very experienced family leader who successfully reaches out to families and uses his knowledge and gifts to impact their lives.In The Family Booklet, I provide regular insights of what I have learned in the home and narrow down my insights to those I believe most powerful and effective. Chapter by chapter, I bring understanding to each issue and then come behind that understanding with real-life examples and observations directly from the home. Common issues like discipline in the home, the importance of structure, and the need to praise children are all covered in The Family Booklet. I also address essentials in the home like safety, proper nutrition, and good hygiene. I am candid in The Family Booklet as I talk about anger in the home, how it affects the children, and what parents can do to purge anger from the home. The Family Booklet is inspired by love for the family, and it is in this love that I regularly challenge father, mother, and children throughout the booklet. I close The Family Booklet with such a challenge as I delve into the central issue of the home-the need for spiritual authority. In closing, I am vastly aware of the passion parents feel for their children, and I believe The Family Booklet reflects that passion. The commentary is full of emotion and often intense, yet The Family Booklet keeps calm as it flows with interest and proves itself a very easy read. I hope everyone enjoys reading The 13 Common Issues of Rearing Children: The Family Booklet. I am confident that it can be the small and powerful guide for your home.
