| Publisher Description: The divide between generations has never been greater. In The Family God Uses, the Blackaby family provides churches and families with a tool to intentionally bring families back together by challenging them to creative involvement in ministry and missions. Through the stories of Christian families who have accepted God's challenge to be involved in His kingdom work locally and around the world, your family will be inspired to work together and serve together with Christ in the center. Your family will see the possibilities of what can happen through them as you seek the Lord together. |
Contributor Bio(s): Blackaby, Tom: - Tom Blackaby was born in California but grew up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada where his father Henry T. Blackaby pastored Faith Baptist Church and developed the material for Experiencing God. He holds a bachelor of education degree from the University of Saskatchewan, an master of divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a doctor of ministries degree from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. Tom has served as associate pastor of music/youth/education in four churches and most recently for seven years as senior pastor of North Sea Baptist Church in Stavanger, Norway. He served four years as national worship consultant for the Canadian National Baptist Convention and currently serves as director of international ministries for Blackaby Ministries International. Tom has coauthored The Man God Uses (trade book, youth edition, devotional journal), Anointed to Be God's Servants, The Blackaby Study Bible, Encounters with God Daily Bible; has written four years of devotional articles for Home Life magazine; and most recently authored The Family God Uses together with his wife, Kim. They have three children and currently live near Vancouver, Canada.Blackaby, Kim: - Kim Blackaby began her journey with Jesus at age 15 in Faith Baptist Church in Saskatchewan, Canada. Discipled by Henry Blackaby as pastor, Kim saw the principles of Experiencing God in action. Kim's commitment to God has taken her from church planting in a small Saskatchewan community to pastor's wife of three churches, from working with children's and music ministries to developing women's ministry, leading Bible studies, and sharing what the Lord has taught her with others. It has taken her from Canada to an international church in Norway and from small assignments to larger ones. With each step she has fallen more in love with and in awe of the One who first called her to Him as a teenager. |
