Christian Home (Speer) - Course Book (Print)

Christian Home is a course that was taught by Charles Speer at Sunset International Bible Institute in its residential program for over two decades. Cara Speer, Charles’ wife, also taught this material in many other settings. As a family they feel strongly about the biblical perspective concerning the Christian home. They are aware that they live in an environment where the biblical perspective of the Christian home has been eroded in its moves and its values and perhaps has been given less emphasis in the home and in the church. There is a changing attitude toward marriage and the home. Long-term commitment is on the wane. This is seen in the work environment and ethic and also in people’s attitude toward the marriage relationship. For these reasons it is very important to give emphasis to the Christian home.
