Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
Anything Andreas Kstenberger publishes is worthy of attention. His international education and experience, his teaching career, and his Christian character make him an author to be read with both care and anticipation. Sensible, balanced, and biblical, this is a sound and timely summary of the Bible’s teaching on some of the most basic and yet controversial topics in today’s world. I highly recommend it.
Mark Dever
Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington DC; President, 9Marks
With the current attack on marriage and family now raging at a fevered pitch, Kstenberger’s book is a vital resource that should be in the hands of every evangelical.
Tom Elliff
Pastor, First Southern Baptist Church, Del City, Oklahoma
These days it is important for us to remember that God has something to say about marriage and family. With all of the competing voices insisting on new definitions and unbiblical patterns, Kstenberger has provided the Christian community with an invaluable resource. I heartily recommend it.
Randy Stinson
Senior Fellow, Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood
This book is a treasure trove of biblical wisdom on matters pertaining to marriage, child-rearing, singleness, and sexuality. As Western society struggles to preserve a social identity informed by Christian truths, this study reaffirms God’s will for self-understanding and family ties. Readers seeking the whole counsel of God on these matters will find enormous assistance here.
Robert W. Yarbrough
Professor of New Testament, Covenant Theological Seminary
If you are looking for just another collection of saccharine clichs about shiny happy Christian families, then you might want to leave this volume on the bookstore shelf. In an era when too many Christians listen more intently to television therapists than to the Bible on the question of the family, this could be one of the most significant books you ever read.
Russell D. Moore
Dean, School of Theology; Senior Vice President for Academic Administration; Professor of Theology and Ethics, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
