For members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the family is the basic unit of the Church itself. Members who serve in various volunteer positions in the church are familiar with "handbooks" that outline basic responsibilities that are part of the position. This guidebook is similar in that it is a "handbook" for "running" a family. Included are "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" along with a basic declaration of doctrine about the importance of families in God's plan for His children. There are great suggestions for teaching the gospel in various home settings, as well as instructions for Priesthood Ordinances. A great resource for LDS families. ( )
