Back to Bible Study Plans

Ten passages on marriage, parents, children, and the words spoken inside a house. These are stories before they are rules — a garden wedding, a loyal daughter-in-law, a praying mother, brothers and sisters learning to live together — and they are for any home as it actually is, not only the tidy ones. The series ends where the gospel does: with a father who ran.
