Updated and expanded. This new hardback edition features an expanded chapter on the covenant child, a new chapter on family worship, and a new introduction by R.C. Sproul Sr.
R.C.'s teachings on the nature of the covenant family, available up till now on video and audio, have proved to be extremely helpful to those who are struggling to establish their families on firm Biblical foundations. Now Tolle Lege Press has made these same teachings available in a hard back book form, well suited for passing along to friends and relatives who might benefit from this message. "There is a battle, a critical front on the broader culture war, over the nature of the family," writes Dr. R.C. Sproul Jr.
And this battle is tearing American families apart. Divorce is all too common, and even homes that stay together are often nothing more than a collection of individuals sharing the same roof. What's worse is that even in the church the family is being torn apart as age- and gender-specific programs break up time together. Dr. Sproul decries the alarming state of the family in our time; he calls Christians to look to the Word of God to see how we can be bound together as families and as the church through a biblical understanding of the covenant.
Bound for Glory begins with a conversation between the author and his father, R. C. Sproul, about the importance of leading families in a covenantal relationship with God. Dr. Sproul then discusses the implications of this covenantal relationship for husbands, wives, children, and the church family. He speaks especially to men as the leaders in their households, encouraging them to make God's Word known in their families, to help their wives and children grow in godliness, and to take responsibility for the testimony of their family to others.
The book ends with another conversation between father and son about the benefits of homeschooling and the role that parents should play in their child's education. Bound for Glory will help you and your family be bound together as a covenantal family for the glory of God.
