Dysfunctional Bible Families
Their family relationships were a disaster so yours won’t have to be.
One of the most remarkable things about the Bible is that is presents life exactly the way it happens — warts and all. Nowhere is this more true than its stories about family. In fact, most of the families in the Bible are so dysfunctional, you will almost instantly feel better about yours.
Our hope is that you can learn from their mistakes so that you can build a strong, healthy family of your own.
