Summary: Kingdom Living for the Family
Review: The authors, Frank and Ida Mae Hammond,present their PLAN for implementing DIVINE ORDER in the family by combining counseling, discipline, and deliverance. This book is not for every Christian!! The distinctive feature of this book on family relationships is its scripturally based counsel in correlation with the ministry of deliverance.

Rating:
Summary: May be useful only those researching exorcism/deliverance
Review: This book, authored by deliverance ministers Frank and Ida Mae Hammond, is an excellent example of how to put words into the mouth of God. In terms of content, Kingdom Living for the Family offers little in the way of new advice for raising families, and it seems to convey a condescending tone towards married women. For example, Frank states on page 62 that "A man's family is his 'flock,' and his wife is his number-one-sheep." Statements by apostles such as Paul and Peter are erroneuosly interpreted by the Hammonds as proceeding from the mouth of God. This book may be of some use to those who study exorcism in that it details some alleged cases of demon possession that came about as a result of faulty family relationships. Otherwise, it would be wise for those trying to build up their families to avoid this book.
