Description
In a day of statistical decline in church participation, what if we imagined marriages as little churches and households as living demonstrations of the way that God's love is reoriented around Jesus? In the pages that follow, readers are invited into a kind of radical kinship rooted in family-community love. In his first book, author Gannon Sims shows how our homes can become hubs for mission pointing toward our true home where we-no matter our previous experiences of family or home or love-can find kinship in God.
