This volume is a celebration of the enduring Christian values of home and family. We have carefully gathered selections of prose and verse to give fresh hope to all who believe that it is still possible to maintain a family life that reflects the lordship of Christ. It is our hope that the texts chosen will inspire the entire family to see that their life together is a special gift from God. It is in that spirit that this volume is dedicated to all those in whose home "Christ is known and loved and served." [Editors’ Note]
