In the midst of family life, most days are too busy to think far into the future. Then once the children are grown, family life can feel like mostly memories, often tinged with regrets. And the future? More worries and fears, laden with unknowns.

But you and your family right now, whatever your ages, whatever you're facing, are living within a much larger story than you might realize. Your faithful efforts today matter. They are how God himself shapes the future. His heart can create in your home a culture of faith that will strengthen your family To the Tenth Generation.

Sound impossible? Ray and Jani Ortlund help bring such unimaginable thoughts down into the everyday ordinary of home and marriage and parenting--even grandparenting. With refreshing honesty and wise counsel, they invite you to experience the greatness that God can accomplish through a Christian family. It can happen, yes, in your family--now and for many, many, many years to come.

Also available, a picture book for children and families: Your Family Is God's Plan: His Mercy from Generation to Generation.
