by Sheryl Mills (Author)

Get ready for a unique journey through
the lives of Bible characters

Old Testament characters exhibited godliness as well as unhealthy behavioral patterns. Their stories are in the Bible so we can learn from them--to avoid their pitfalls and to seek healthier ways of relating to others. This is an exploration of the different characterizations of dysfunction that were present in those families and parallels to our contemporary relationships and experiences. As you explore the Bible's descriptions of ten selected families you will also discover:

♦ A unique look at the patterns of four generations of one family
♦ Common dynamics in dysfunctional families
♦ How dysfunctional families become healthy
♦ Timeless principles proven by Bible families

This intriguing trip through early human history uncovers valuable concepts to apply to your life. It is a message of help and inspiration for change. After finishing, readers will be better equipped to use the examples from the Bible to improve their own relationships.

"Finally, a book from a biblical perspective that explains dysfunction in biblical families. Family units need to be strong. I highly encourage you to read this book and draw insight from it."
