Home Reformation: A Biblical and Practical Guide for the Christian Home
ISBN: 9781733851770Many families have a genuine desire to raise good and godly children, yet often become discouraged when simply taking their children to church regularly doesn't seem to produce children who walk humbly with the Lord. According to recent statistics, merely raising our children within the church can often result in watching them wander from the truth as they reach adulthood. Yet it doesn't have to be this way. There is hope.
Home Reformation offers practical steps to help families make homes places of Christ-centered discipleship. Author Adam Burrell draws from twenty plus years of family ministry, as well as personal experience from raising his seven children, as he seeks to equip parents to turn their homes into training grounds for Christ-like development. Within these pages you will find simple steps that can be easily assimilated into day-to-day life to help you train and disciple your families to godliness and create a more biblical home.

The family is critically important, and God himself placed a great priority upon the institution of family from the very beginning. The world has deformed the family, and we stand in great need for the family to be reformed. Adam Burrell does a good job of explaining how to put God at the center of your family and to worship him in such a way that reforms the family according to Scripture and glorifies God.

More than 350 years ago the English Puritan Richard Baxter powerfully said, 'till you procure family reformation, some little religion there may be, here and there; but while it is confined to single persons, and is not promoted in families, it will not prosper nor promise much future increase.' This is also clearly the burden of Adam Burrell for our generation as he brings us practical and biblical advice so that we too may strive to live all of life to God's glory - yes, even behind the closed doors of our homes. In this challenging book, you will find many helpful nuggets of wisdom and advice to chew on, pray over, and hopefully implement, as you seek to follow God's prescribed pattern for a healthy and Christ-like home.

Home Reformation is an answer to the cry of many young families as they grapple with their God-given domestic duties. We are called to live our lives for the glory of God, to love our spouses, raise our children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, and order our lives around the local church. Many young families learn about their duties as parents and spouses but don't know where to start. Adam writes with the simplicity of commentator Matthew Henry, yet with a unique depth that many young families will find helpful. If you have been wondering about your domestic duties or where to begin, Home Reformation is the right place. I highly recommend it and encourage you to share it with others; you will be doing them a great service.

Adam Burrell has provided a wonderful resource to help reform our homes to the glory of God. One does not have to agree with every single chapter to appreciate the concise, biblical wisdom he gives to practice in our homes. Highly recommended.
--Sean McGowan, Pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Tallahassee, FL
Adam Burrell has written an amazingly readable pocket guidebook to help us have truly godly homes. He deals with topics pertinent to those contemplating marriage, the newlyweds, and those in the trenches of parenting. What I love about his approach is that he distills practical counsel from the Bible and applies it to topics that are relevant in today's world for those going through this phase of life. You will find his topics well-chosen and his counsel judicious.
