This fourth volume in The Christian Educator's Handbook series--now in paper--is not about family life directly. Rather, it shows churches and ministry organizations how they can carry out effective programs of family life education. Readers will discover that family life education is much broader than counseling and much more valuable than crisis intervention. This handbook will help Christian leaders evaluate their current programs and develop a successful family life education program.
