Being Family: Passing Down the Faith through Generations

The Christian family isn't a brand. It's a calling.In Being Family, Dr. Scott Keith offers a compelling vision of what it means to live out the Christian faith through the daily realities of family life. Drawing from Scripture, the Lutheran tradition, and pastoral experience, Keith reminds readers that the home is not a detour from discipleship--it's the very place where God shows up.With warmth, clarity, and candor, Keith explores the vocations of father, mother, grandparent, child, and friend, showing how faith is passed down not through programs or perfection, but through repentance, forgiveness, and love. This is not a book of parenting techniques. It's a theological and practical guide to embracing your calling--even when it's messy.Whether you're a parent, grandparent, pastor, or simply someone trying to live faithfully in your relationships, Being Family offers gospel-centered encouragement and a much-needed reminder: you don't have to be impressive. Just present.Because God is at work--even in your ordinary.
