Review:

Life in the Father's House is simply the best book to give new members of an evangelical, local church. Indeed it is the best book to give new Christians in general as they seek to understand how to live and love the Lord and others within the body of Christ."- Lance Quinn, President, National Association of Nouthetic Counselors
