In The Family God Uses, the Blackaby family provides churches and families with a tool to intentionally bring families back together by challenging them to creative involvement in ministry and missions. Through the stories of Christian families who have accepted God’s challenge to be involved in His kingdom work locally and around the world, your family will be inspired to work together and serve together with Christ in the center.
Tom and Kim Blackaby share how God uses families through sharing stories from their own family. This book would make good discussion for small group study. Each chapter ends with a series of questions titled “Family Time Reflections.” I am not sure this book offers anything different than any other books on Christian families, but it could be a great book to lead discussions within a bible study. Their goal is to show the possibilities how each family can be an influence for God.
