Book Cover & Preview Text
"Our churches have transitioned into fellowships with fragmented homes where parents and children are inflicting so much harm upon each other. The Old Testament prophet Micah likens the hostility and discord that so many of our families are encountering to warfare where the individuals we are living with have begun to look like our enemies."
