Positioned between The Art of Neighboring by Jay Pathak and books on parenting, Kevin & Sherry Harney, as well as their children, share their insights on authentic Christians living in a family, neighborhood and school.

1. Reaching your own children with the message of Jesus
2. Sharing God's grace with your extended family

4. Opening the doors of your home to make it attractive and welcoming
5. Shining the light of grace into your broader community
