Resources for families

This past Sunday, RCC completed a month long series on the family.  We really believed that God was leading us to address some family issues that continue to plague our community (most communities, actually).  Pastor Ridley did a great job every week of encouraging and equipping us to deal with issues that really ring with the complexities of everyday family life.  Below is a list of resources that we felt would be beneficial to anyone who is a part of a family.... pretty much all of us.  Obviously, the first place to start is with scripture.  Knowing The Word and practicing its teachings will take each of us a long way down the road to more healthy families.

This is not an exhaustive list.  In fact, should you choose read read any or all of these books, you will undoubtedly read some things that you don't fully agree with.  That's ok... just be open to the Holy Spirit's promptings to look at your family and your role in it in a slightly different light.
