    About this ebook

    Brian Johnston highlights the good, the bad, and the ugly of 8 family relationships from the Bible which both young and old can learn from today!  Discover: the grandfather who couldn't let go of his bitterness, a grandson who would see the reversal of his grandfather's disappointment, the grandfather who would have been so disappointed, the grandson who wasn't judged because of who his grandfather was, how a foreigner became a (great-) grandmother to King David, a grandson who proved a worthy successor to his grandfather, the grandmother who teamed up to raise a man of God, and the grandmother who helped a curse become a blessing.

      Cornel West on Why James Baldwin Matters More Than Ever

      Mar 2, 2017
