Honoring your father and mother is being respectful in word and action and having an inward attitude of esteem for their position. The Greek word for honor means "to revere, prize, and value." Honor is giving respect not only for merit but also for rank. For example, some Americans may disagree with the President's decisions, but they should still respect his position as leader of their country. Similarly, children of all ages should honor their parents, regardless of whether or not their parents "deserve" honor.
This Book is a real-life story to define and clarify what it means to honor your parents. Even with strained and broken relationships, every Christian can understand and do three specific things to obey God's 5th Commandment and honor their father and their mother. All Ten Commandments are directed toward adults, and every adult can benefit from these seldom-taught principles.
This book explores God's answers to the growing problem of today's broken family relationships. If you know someone who has a broken relationship with their parents, this book will help begin the process of healing.
This book uses real stories of adult children and their parents who have had horrible relationships but found help from the Bible.
