FIRST COMES LOVE – Finding Your Family in the Church and the Trinity by Scott Hahn

Description

Celebrated author, Scott Hahn, looks to the heart of the Catholic Church to answer one of life’s most profound questions: What kind of love and what kind of home fulfill our deepest needs? Dr. Hahn delves into the Gospels to show that family terminology–words like brother, sister, mother, father, and home–dominates Jesus’ speech and the writings of His first followers, and that these very words illuminate Christianity’s central ideas. As he explores this family imagery, Hahn demonstrates the ways in which the analogy of the family applies to the Catholic faith and all its practices. Through real-life examples and from the Scriptures, Hahn makes it clear that no matter what sort of family we come from–no matter what sort of "dysfunction" we have experienced–we can all find our family in the Church.
