Review: Built by the Lord

The below review of this book appeared in the October 2007 issue of Truth Magazine.  I have placed the review here because my family went through this book together and thought it was very good.

How important is your family to you? Your family is important to God, but is it important to you? Do you want your family to be established upon the solid truths set forth in God’s word, or the shifting sands of human wisdom? The Psalmist wrote, “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it” (Ps. 127:1). Using this psalm as a starting point, Edwin Crozier discusses the importance of the family in his new book .

Crozier divides his material into a five week study course with five chapters in each section: First Things (week one), Family Goals (week two), Family Roles (week three), Habits of a God-Built Home (week four), and Our Family and God’s Family (week five). Each chapter closes with suggestions on how family members can be more committed to following God’s word. In a culture of tremendous family break-down, is a refreshing source of Bible-based lessons for the whole family. This book is recommended for individual study, family devotionals, and small group studies.
