In a series of posts, popular blogger SelahV will be reviewing the new book, Families of the Bible: How They Coped with Today's Problems by Howard Hovde and Louis Moore. She wrote a great introduction to the reviews on her blog SelahVToday.
In the introduction, SelahV focused on the issue of 'what am I passing on' and discussed some of the everyday things that she has passed on to her daughter. She includes a quote from Families of the Bible about how patterns often repeat within families. In upcoming posts on her blog, SelahV will offer a "sampling" from the book. Please visit her blog at SelahVToday.typepad.com.
She has also posted her first part of the review of the book on her blog. In her review, SelahV says, "I see the evaluations and observations they [Howard Hovde and Louis Moore] make from biblical families and relationships as extremely helpful for today's families and individuals--especially those who cannot understand how to fit their square peg into a round hole of extended family interactions."
On July 16, Dr. Bob Pearle discussed his book, The Vanishing Church: Searching for significance in the 21st century, with hosts Kerby Anderson and Carmen Pate on Point of View. Dr. Pearle, who is also the pastor of Birchman Baptist Church in Fort Worth, TX, and the president of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention, explained why he thought the evangelical church has been declining in membership over the years. He discussed what he means by a 'supermarket mentality' and offered his thoughts on how churches should actually try to attract members.

This last week in Garland, TX, authors of Families of the Bible: How They Coped with Today's Issues, Howard Hovde and Louis Moore met with one another and their wives for a chat and a quick photo. Dr. Hovde and his wife, Carole, are seated on the couch and Louis Moore and his wife, Kay, are standing in the background.
These two families met first in Louisville, KY, at the church in which Dr. Hovde was associate pastor. After both families moved to Houston, the friendship grew.
