The Family God Uses written by Tom and Kim Blackaby is written to people who want their family to be affective in the Kingdom of God. The authors write the book in a very practical fashion. The information presented covers what God intends families to do, why they exist, and what they should look like in context of a modern evangelical church.

Being that I am currently a single young man, I have a biased opinion of this book simply because I can’t take any of the information and practically apply it today. But I do believe that the information presented and the stories told can positively affect and even change the direction which a family may be living toward. The Blackabies seem to present a great example of what an extraordinary Christian family could look like. I think this is a very good book for a family to read who may not have much motivation in serving as a family. When a family doesn’t have an example in how to live, it can be very hard and very confusing to discern the direction God would like you to take.

Sometimes people feel they can’t press into God because they think they would have to give up their family to affectively serve. But with this book as a guide, a person who has the above perspective can let their stress go, keep their family, and serve God to the fullest. I want to encourage anyone who is investigating how to better serve God as a family, to read this book.
