"Garland's volume is one of [the] most exhaustive works for understanding historical perceptions of family ministry from an academic approach."
Reggie Joiner, Christianity Today, October 2010
"This second edition of Diana Garland's groundbreaking resource for the church, Family Ministry, builds on the qualities that made the first edition so important. It is deeply informed by biblical theology, understanding practical needs of families in local church communities, and ongoing research. Dr. Garland is dean of the Baylor University School of Social Work and has for years led major research studies on families in the church and community ministry. With her husband David Garland, dean of Truett Theological Seminary at Baylor, she is coeditor of The Journal of Family and Community Ministries. Her book is substantive and engaging--full of well-grounded stories and applications for family ministry."
David Sherwood, Ph.D., editor, Social Work Christianity
