Marriage and Family, pushing back the threats, traces many of the unsuccessful attempts throughout human history to undermine, neutralize, ignore or replace the Biblical model given by God, the Author of marriage and family with human contrived alternatives of lesser quality. The author challenges all family members to stand up and push back the oncoming threats and challenges to these institutions and exert a deeper caring effort in nourishing, loving and supporting each family member in personally experiencing the joy, happiness and thrill which comes from a God who creates, redeems and is able to sustain everyone who trusts Him and follows his plan.Pastor Everette W.
