Inhaltsangabe

The disintegration of family life is being blamed for all manner of social ills, and we are seeking a spiritual center as the solution. In this revised and expanded edition, Marjorie J. Thompson offers a vision of the family as the primary place of spiritual formation for children. Neither a how-to book nor a political polemic, Family the Forming Center envisions families as faith builders.
