Family Integraded Church by J. Mark Fox
Family Integraded Church by J. Mark Fox.
Fox uses a folksy writing style which might appeal to some but may seem a little casual to others. He talks about the importance of Scripture and does a good job explaining many truths but I was troubled by a number of things. For example, the church women have used Beth Moore’s book Breaking Free as a Bible study, but Breaking Free is basically pop-psychology wrapped in a scriptural theme. Fox also uses the example of Pharaoh not wanting the Jewish children to accompany the adults and Nehemiah 8 has some of the “strongest passages” supporting family-integrated worship (pp. 64-65). In both cases the stories are taken out of context and forced to teach something foreign to their meaning. And quite frankly if this is the best that he has to support family-integrated worship he is in serious trouble.
