Kingdom Families
*"The breakdown of the American Family has been well chronicled over the past decades as America continues to drift away from the Christian values that were for so long the strength of this nation." The Southern Baptist Convention has adopted a program to grow and strengthen "Kingdom Families," beginning with Unbreakable: The Seven Pillars of a Kingdom Family by Tom Elliff.
