The most effective family ministries refocus every church process to engage parents in discipling their children and to draw family members together instead of pulling them apart. In this second edition, Jones expands the definition of family ministry, and broadens the book's focus to address urban perspectives and family ministry in diverse settings.

Saint Barnabas did not disappear after the quarrel with Saint Paul. This happy, loveable servant of the Lord knew God’s purpose for life, defiantly obeyed the spirit of the Lord, and overcame opposition, failure, rejection, and hardships to obtain an eternal reward through faith in Jesus. Travis L. Matthews celebrates Saint Barnabas’s accomplishments and argues he should be more highly regarded. He explores his motives, conduct, and accomplishments. The portrait he conveys is a great servant of the Lord. Barnabas was an ambassador for Christ who knew God’s purpose, recognized the time, and made contacts to accomplish God’s will. Barnabas changed the world by helping people make transitions in turbulent times. Two apostles trained by Barnabas were instrumental in developing Christianity into a worldwide faith. Saint Barnabas became an instrument of God to facilitate the transition from Law to Grace. By completing his mission, the message of salvation was brought to the world and Jesus became the Lord of our lives.
Guiding the Church The letter to the Galatian church is a treatise on Paul’s interpretation of Jewish law and its relationship to a believer’s freedom from sin found in Jesus Christ. Essentially, Paul taught that the transformation received by believers initiated by the work of the Holy Spirit, applying the finished work of Christ to a person’s life, was the only action needed to secure and complete one’s salvation.
If you want to get to know someone well, it is helpful to learn their attributes (characteristics). Similarly, if you want to know God well, you need to understand what His attributes are. Consider how God enriched our life by creating humans “in his image.” (Genesis 1:27) That indicates that he made it possible for us to reflect his superior attributes (qualities) in a small way. He endowed us with spiritual capacity, or the ability to understand his views and values. As we endeavor to live by these, we enjoy greater happiness and meaning in life. More than that, he gave us the potential to build a relationship with him. The 20 short chapters in the second edition of THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD by Arthur W. Pink help readers discover the truth about God’s most significant characteristics or qualities (attributes). Edward D. Andrews, an author of 170+ books, has updated archaic language, added two additional attributes of God, a modern literal translation for quoted Bible verses, adding some 60 pages of material.
