From generation to generation, God has filled the world with families. And yours is unlike any other on earth! But why did God make all these families? In this unique picture book, authors Jani and Ray Ortlund visit modern-day families of all shapes and sizes along with families from the Bible (including the first family, the sons of Jacob, and Jesus's earthly family). You'll see that families are a gift and have always been a part of God's plan! From the beginning, He has used them to do amazing things, and He can do the same with your family today, whether it's big or small, near or far. This celebration of family shows that it's more than a dad and mom and their children. God is there, working His wonderful plan from one generation to another. And each child is an important part of God's plan! These pages will encourage you to keep saying "yes" to God and to watch Him continue to give your family His new mercies.
