Publisher's Description
As a teenager, Gary Morland lived in an unhappy, dysfunctional family characterized by addiction and disharmony. When he started a family of his own, he brought with him those same destructive patterns. Yet he sensed there must be a way to have a family shaped by acceptance and grace, a family that was loving, whole, and at peace with one another. The problem was, he didn't know how. In this life-giving book, Morland shares his journey of discovering the timeless tools of family peace that transformed him and his family. He shows how these tools broke the unhealthy patterns of the family he grew up in and saved his relationship with his wife and two daughters. With refreshing honesty and humility, he helps readers believe that they too can start from where they are right now--no matter how broken--to transform their family culture and their family legacy and to generously offer grace to the people who matter most in their lives.

“We have all sat through a million sermons about grace, read books and sung songs about grace, yet many of us live our lives as if we’ve never heard the word. A Family Shaped by Grace is a powerful testimony of God’s goodness and grace. Gary gives incredible insight into the supernatural peacefulness God has available for every family. His practical guidance will give you the tools you need to lead your family into peace with both confidence and excellence.”
“Gary Morland is a gifted communicator who has learned many lessons the hard way. He grew up in a dysfunctional family and went down that road himself, bottoming out as a confused alcoholic with a wife, two daughters, and no idea how to change. God transformed Gary’s life through his grace and the practical advice of wise mentors. Those lessons are passed along in this powerful and insightful book.”
“There are elders who speak with the authority of hard-won wisdom. Gary Morland is just such an elder. In A Family Shaped by Grace, Morland shares tools for crafting the kind of family we all want with family members who love well, serve well, and work together toward something eternal. Pick up a copy, and learn the art of family-craft from your elder; you’ll find Morland’s experience colors him with the patina of something very trustworthy.”
