We were young, and we knew little about marriage and parenting, but we knew that if we didn't have a plan for keeping Christ in the center of our homes, we'd soon be like most couples around us. We'd be floundering as we ran the rat race of life, simply trying to make it through each day. We wanted more. We wanted a marriage where there was intimacy. We wanted to impart crucial truths to our children. We wanted to build our homes with purpose. We wanted Christ at the center. With this goal in mind, we came up with seven core character qualities of Jesus that formed the structure for our pursuits in our marriage and our family: passion for God, unity in our family, responsibility, purity, others' needs first, stewardship and excelling in gifts. This book describes what we did to develop these character traits of Jesus in our personal lives, in our marriage and in our home. Tim Webster has been a pastor for 35 years. He graduated from Washington Bible College with a BA in Bible, Capitol Bible Seminary with a MDiv, and Catholic University with a MA in biblical languages. He was married to Lara for 15 years until the Lord took her home to heaven at the age of 39 from glioblastoma cancer, leaving behind Nathan (12), Rebekah (11), and Mark (8). Tim and Lara taught often on marriage and family before her homegoing. It was always their dream to put the lessons God taught them into book form. This book is the realization of that vision.
