THE ESSENCE OF FAMILY
By Kirsten Birkett
Matthias Media. 133 pages. £6.00
Distributed in the UK by
The Good Book Company
ISBN 1 876326 89 1

Surely one of the biggest casualties of late 20th-century permissiveness, postmodernism and political correctness has been the family. Even a definition now eludes most people.

Christian believers know that the family is important and may increasingly be called upon to defend the idea of what is now commonly derided as 'the traditional family'. This clear-thinking book will be an excellent help to us in engaging in that debate, which we most certainly should.
