The Church is the Family of God

The Bible calls Christians brethren - brothers and sisters in Christ, of the household of faith, of His own Church. The Bond that holds every household together is love. And God insists on Christian love in His household, in His Church. Family members need to get along with each other, so God has given us the golden rule. He insists that problems get solved and then that the family members forgive and restore the one who has strayed. Hospitality helps to encourage our brothers and sisters. Real communication is essential. These and many other family issues are discussed in this easy-to-read and interesting book.

Its writer, Roger Daniel, is an engineer, grandfather and author.
