Author
Craig Stephen Smith believes that strong families make strong churches, and he
hopes to encourage that dynamic with his new book, It’s a Beautiful Thing! The Power
of Spirit-Filled, Family-Based Ministry ($14.99, paperback, 9781545673294;
$7.99, e-book, 9781545673300). Smith
highlights some of the myriad of options available to families seeking to serve
the Lord as a team, and encourages them to participate.
Some of the statistics offered in the book suggest that
family-based ministry plays a big role in cementing a young person’s faith. Young adults who were involved in a
family-based ministry as children are more likely to continue to serve the Lord
into their adult lives.
“Powerful
ministry flows out of families and can be used of God in some remarkable ways. This
book is written by someone who was in family-based ministry, and offers
practical solutions to Christian families and the churches they attend to
encourage this unique kind of ministry so needed today,” said Smith.
