Family, Family -- Religious life, Family life survey 

This book, HOPE FOR FAMILIES, is a compilation of Family Cluster case studies from around the world. A Family Cluster is a group of four or five complete family units which contract to meet together periodically over an extended period of time for shared educational experiences related to their living in relationship within their families. A Cluster provides mutual support training in skills which facilitate the family living in relationship and celebration of their life and beliefs together. The stories show how total families, as systems, have been strengthened and grow in family wellness.
The concluding three chapters give insights as to how the Family Clusters in the case studies:

-strengthened family units
-developed a “koinonia” kind of fellowship
-utilized the behavior of theology through its educational format.
