FOREWORD

This book contains the basic thoughts of a series of pastoral talks that I have given to churches. I have had opportunity to revise and enlarge them, and I trust they will be of help in printed form.

We all belong to the human Family and are also members of a particular family. We move through different phases as Life unfolds. It is helpful therefore if we understand something of each phase even if we have not reached or experienced it. That is why they are brought together.

The Bible, being the practical book that it is, has something to say to us all, and it is especially relevant in our day when the traditional values of the Family are being threatened.
