A Family's Journey Back to Union: Reflections on One Family's Celebration of Faith in God and One Another - Paperback

by Mark Danis (Author)

This is the story of one extended family's journey back through the lost years and distant miles to rediscover their union with one another. It is the story of four generations who came together to respond to each other's trials and tragedies, and to celebrate their victories and blessings. So many forces today are imposing themselves and tearing families apart; this is the story of one family's response to that reality. It is about their resilience and reliance on prayer, God and one another. You will be blessed by reading the brief stories of what brought them back together and how they maintain their connection to each other. But the real blessing will be found in the spiritual reflections and material for prayer and meditation that have served to grow and keep this community of family and friends together for over a decade.Readers are encouraged to use the reflections in their own prayer life and to share them. But more importantly, we hope readers will make the effort to establish communities of prayer among their own families and friends. We promise if you do, you will experience God's healing power and His blessings in ways you could never have imagined.
