Announcing: Family Reformation-The Legacy of Sola Scriptura in John Calvin’s Geneva

My prayer is that this book will help fan the flames of reformation for pastors, fathers, mothers, and children, calling them back to the historic doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture for the family.

The burning questions are being asked everywhere. “How do we insure our children will not abandon the faith?” “What do we do to reverse the destructive influence of the world, the culture, and even the church in our children’s lives?” Gratefully, something significant is happening in almost every denomination and every part of the country. Parents and pastors are finally abandoning psychology and current statistical analysis and turning back to the word of God to answer these questions. Regretfully, it has taken the loss of an entire generation to wake us up to our great need for God’s answers for the family. We need a family reformation.

As I studied the Scripture for answers, I wanted to know what our reformation fathers had learned and taught on this subject. Was this a new problem? Did the reformers exposit the scriptures on the Family? What I found led me to publish Family Reformation. I discovered a rich treasure trove of historical teaching on the family, pioneered by John Calvin, but carried out and honed through the reformation. Our present crisis is not singular and pastors and fathers crying out to God for answers for their family is not new.

In this book, you will find John Calvin’s expositions, commentary, and teaching on the various key elements of Christian family life and discover again the amazing truth that the Word of God is “living, active, and sharper than any two edged sword…” and just as applicable, convicting, and transformational today as it was in John Calvin’s Geneva.

Copies of Family Reformation: The Legacy of Sola Scriptura in John Calvin’s Geneva will be available at the Reformation 500 Celebration in Boston at the end of the month or online after July 5th. You can also go to Amazon.com to pre-order a copy HERE.
