Item Description...
God intends for each person to play a role in family life, the ultimate goal of which is the transformation of the individual, the home, and the society for the glory of God. In The Family, author J.R. Miller carefully addresses each member of the family, striking the perfect balance between inspiration and exhortation. Miller says, "The married life is meant to be the happiest, fullest, purest, richest life. It is God's own ideal of completeness]].Every true-hearted husband should seek to be worthy of the wife he has already won. A true wife makes a man's life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love 'turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.'" Miller also asks, "Why should not a brother make a confidante of his own sister rather than of any other? Why should not a sister look to her own brother for counsel, for protection, for advice, rather than to any other?"

 | The Heavenly "House Plans" I've been looking for!!!!! Jan 20, 2009 |
J. R. Miller beautifully outlines and describes what a Christian family and home are so that all who read his masterpiece can begin to see what it is they are building, without building amiss.
He addresses the roles of each aspect of the family and home, the importance of a youth-filled heart, what kind of home speaks of the Savior's presence being there, the importance of humility, daily spiritual nurturing, prayer, consecrated devotion to one another, virtue, and other uplifting activities of a righteous home.
This book is great for any one who wants to tenderly and patiently create a family they can present back to God. Today the vision for this is incredibly needed. Thank heavens Miller can draw us from our present, out-of-tune world and back into his day where we view his clear understanding of the grand investment our families are meant to be. This book is symphony music!
I recommend reading this book along with The Anatomy of Peace by The Arbinger Institute, I Don't Have to Make Everything All Better (a book on validation) by Gary and Joy Lundberg, Raising Self-Reliant Children in a Self-Indulgent World by Glenn and Nelson, and Raising Maidens of Virtue by Stacy McDonald. | | | | Astounding Insight! Sep 26, 2008 |
| I am stunned! Never have I read a book that has so much wisdom for the home and family, and I've read a bunch. Our society has slipped so far from nurturing and caring for each other in the home and this should be a must-read for anyone wanting or planning to be married. Although it is faith-based, it chock-full of everyday reasoning and insight that everyone can understand. If you're looking for clarity into the roles of the people who live in your home and how everyone can live up to their potential, this is the one to read. | | |  | Outdated language makes this a VERY heavy read Aug 28, 2008 |
| The material covered in this book is worthwhile and useful. It is, however, written in 19th century linguistic style which can, and for the most part is, difficult to slog through. | | | | A must for intentional family living Aug 14, 2008 |
This book is not really a book about "homemaking" in the sense of housekeeping. This is a deeply lovely book about what the experience of living in a happy home should be like. This book was written years ago, when people still had the idea that the home and the people in it should be a haven for each other, and a beacon to those in the world. This is a book that calls husbands and wives, siblings, sons and daughters, to a higher vision of a home. It reminds that all are part of this goal.
This is not just a book for moms, though, despite the picture on the cover. One of the most intimate nights my newlywed husband and I have experienced was when I read aloud to him the chapter on Husbands. Just thinking about how we can love each other better and the deep responsibility that is was very meaningful for us.
I highly recommend this book -- the language alone is lovely to read. The style of the book is peaceful and lyrical. This is not a typical self-help book; this is a peaceful, worshipful book.
A MUST for newlyweds, or anyone who wants to be intentional and biblical about their marriage and family life. | | | | best read in a long time Jun 27, 2008 |
| I am very much in love with this beautiful work. Many of the passages left me in tears. A call to arms for all Christians. My huband and I decided to give this book as wedding and baby shower gifts from now on. Stirring and well writen...read it, read it again, and again. | | | Write your own review about The Family
