All the Families of the Earth

In Only Families in the Bible, characters from Abram to Ruth come alive, providing fresh insights for today's challenges. Barbara Laymon's imaginative approach involves behind-the-scenes therapists who counsel biblical figures and journal about their conversations. Informed by Laymon's background as a counselor, the therapists tell the stories of Scripture while describing the complexities of counseling. A creative group discussion guide invites readers to think alongside the therapists as they analyze family patterns. Only Families in the Bible offers a thoughtful view of families, then and now, and provides new perspectives on familiar Scriptures.
