"[F]amily faith community (FFC) [is] a process and place for families to form relationships with other families who share a common faith tradition, to explore the presence of God in their daily lives, to learn more about our Catholic faith in an intergenerational format (children and adults of all ages gathering together), and to have some fun."--P. 3.

This book explores how religious families draw on their spiritual beliefs, religious practices, and faith communities to help them strengthen their marital relationships and their parenting. Using in-depth interviews from eight religious groups – Asian American Christian; Black Christian; Catholic and Orthodox Christian; Evangelical Christian; Jewish; Latter-day Saint; Mainline Protestant; and Muslim – the book uses the interviewees’ own words to show how their religion impacts their lives and influences their relationships. The book also includes an introductory chapter which describes the study and the sample; a conceptual chapter which places the empirical chapters in theoretical context in sociological study of religious families; and a concluding chapter which describes how the editors and authors developed respect and admiration for religious cultures other than their own. Drawing on such a diverse group of religions in America, this book will be of interest to those studying individual religious groups, as well as wider ecumenism and inter-religious dialogue. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Marriage and Family Review.

Although past studies indicate that social relationships play an important role within families and religious communities, we know very little about how these two important contexts of social ties relate to one another. Scholars theorize that families and religious communities rely on each other to thrive, so this interdependency should also exist on the micro level through social ties. Nonetheless, questions remain. Specifically, how do family relationships impact friendships within religious congregations and vice versa? Do families turn to congregational friendships for social support, and do these religious friendships seem to matter to families? Using longitudinal data from the Portraits of American Life Study (PALS, 2006-2012), this dissertation explores the social ties between families and religious groups by testing: 1) the effect of family formation on social ties to religious congregations; 2) the multidimensional role of religion, including congregational friendships, on marital happiness; and 3) the impact of social networks on family religious activities. In general, findings suggest that family relationships and congregational friendships are reciprocally related on the micro level through social ties. Moreover, these social ties operate in complex and surprising ways, revealing the nuanced interconnections between families and religious communities.Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to the dissertation, providing a brief overview of past research as well as a justification for a social networks approach to family and religion. Chapter 2 describes the PALS data source in detail, including sampling strategy, data collection, important survey items, as well as benefits and limitations. Chapter 3 examines the ways in which family formation (e.g., getting married and rearing children) impacts close social ties to religious congregations. Findings suggest that marriage decreases congregational social ties while childrearing increases them. Chapter 4 tests the multidimensional role of religion on improving marital happiness, uniquely incorporating the role of religious social networks. Results suggest that close congregational friendships positively predict marital happiness, and this relationship is actually strongest among the less religious. Chapter 5 examines the role of social networks in predicting the prevalence of religious discussions with family members. Although social networks matter, their effects weaken in contexts where spouses differ in religious importance. Chapter 6 concludes the dissertation by connecting main findings, discussing limitations, and providing future areas of inquiry for those interested in incorporating social networks into the study of family and religion.

This book describes the author’s experiences in the evangelical community of faith over a span of 30 years that have led to his views on faith; how we experience it and the result of faith’s work in our lives. “The Evidence of Things Unseen - Faith Revealed in a Family, a Community and a Nation” describes the evidence of faith first initiated in the family experience, then developed in the faith communities. The text illustrates how faith developed in evangelical communities will result in a certain view of our nation and its governance. This leads to the paradox that these views often conflict with biblical principles taught by those communities. The concluding section of this book suggests a reason for this conflict and a proposed remedy. The urgency of this publication is in its relevance to our current times with regard to how people of faith vote, how they react to political events and ultimately how they view the function of our government including the interpretation of our constitution. This book contains a unique message that is relevant for this unique time in our nation. Filled with touching anecdotes from the ministry, the classroom and the workplace it is a fast read that will move your heart and give you a new perspective on faith.

More teens are turning away from the faith than ever before: it is estimated that 75 to 88% of Christian teens walk away from Christianity by the end of their freshman year of college. Something must be done. Family Driven Faith equips Christian parents with the tools they need to raise children biblically in a post-Christian, anti-family society. Voddie Baucham, who with his wife has overcome a multi-generational legacy of broken and dysfunctional homes, shows that God has not left us alone in raising godly children. He has given us timeless precepts and principles for multi-generational faithfulness, especially in Deuteronomy 6. God's simple command to Moses to teach the Word diligently to the children of Israel serves as the foundation of Family Driven Faith. - Publisher.
