As for Me and My House

"As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD" (Joshua 24:15).

The enemy came for the family first. He came to a marriage, in a garden, and got between a husband and a wife. He has never once called the war off.

Written for parents, couples, and households by a minister of forty years, As for Me and My House names the ten fronts where the enemy still wars against the home: the divided house, the war on the marriage, the quiet erosion, the battle for the children, the foothold of anger, unforgiveness under the roof, the idols we carry home, the mask of the perfect family, the wounds we pass down, and the house built on sand.

Each chapter exposes the scheme, answers it with the Word, gives practical steps to guard your house, and ends with a table you can gather your family around. Rev. Dr. Billy J. Hill draws on forty years of sitting with marriages and families at every stage - the glowing new ones, the weary middle ones, the ones in the emergency room - to show that what is inherited can be interrupted, that the temper and the pattern and the family curse do not have to be passed down one more time. The line stops at the blood of Jesus.

A warm, hopeful companion to the author's fuller work, The Ancient Serpent, this is a book for the household that means to stand together. You do not need a perfect family to begin - only one that decides, together, where it stands.

Rev. Dr. Billy J. Hill is a Baptist minister, U.S. Army veteran, and the author of more than forty books published under Faithful Witness Press · El Ne'eman.
