It is a difficult time for Christian families.
With all the violence and terror; not to mention the negative influences that threaten to undermine our values – Common Core, sex education, the homosexual agenda.
And yet, throughout history, there has never been an ideal time for the truly Christian family.
Looking back on the lives of heroes of the faith, and borrowing counsel from great men and women of God, we can work faithfully and successfully at building a strong foundation so that the next generation is solid and prepared to stand alone in a world of chaos.
Here are 10 resources for every Christian family
