My name is Steve, father and husband to an average middle-class family. Im writing this book because today my wife, son, daughter, and I are saved by the grace of God through our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our walk to Him was not short and certainly not easy. We experienced blessings and trials that tested our very being and sanity. This book will bring you through visions, visitations, and demonic experiences that changed us forever. I pray that this book might reach someone who is looking for answers that can be found within our journey to the Lord. I pray also that this story will be an encouragement, as it reminds you that God is listening to your prayers. The Bible states, Ephesians 6:12, for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. It is this one verse that sets up our entire story, it states the challenge my family was about to be put into, however it also is the very footing I needed to keep me based in the word of the Bible, to remember who the enemy truly was in our struggle, and to remember Jesus, who was really in control of everything. Have faithstrong faiththat our Lord Jesus is a man of His word, that He is able to do all, and that He does walk with you always. Yours in Christ, Steve

In the preceding decades, the world has envisioned significant changes in the makeup of families. Since the seventies, the divorce rate has doubled increasing to single-parent households, remarriages, and extended families. The book is a discussion of the many definitions of family and how they demonstrate the changes that are occurring within the family. Many of us today including myself, when we hear the word family, father, mother, and children automatically come to our thoughts. This view represents the traditional family or the nuclear family by definition consisting of father, mother, and children. Family Manifesto is defined as a books written statements that describe the familys dynamics, functionalities, family types as well as describing functional and dysfunctional families. This book Family Manifesto provides a biblical-based design for developing a Christ-Centered home. We all know the complexity of raising a family in todays world. We also know families possess the significant capability to improve and strengthen their family dynamic substantially.

Everyday worship practices—from praying the rosary to moments of recognizing the beauty of God's creation, from being moved by the power of music to praying Vespers on an iPad—not only take place at different locations and during different days of the week but also dynamically interact with one another. The Liturgy of Life examines the interrelationship between the practice of Sunday Eucharist and the many nonofficial worship practices that mark the everyday lives of Christians who continually negotiate the boundaries of official teaching on liturgy. Drawing on the writings of theologians and sociologists of lived religion and data from an ethnographic research project, this timely work stretches the contextual horizon of liturgical scholarship and presents a provocative and dynamic paradigm of Christian worship for the twenty-first century.
