Description

Uncover the spiritual strength of your family story.

We all have a desire to learn more about where we've come from, and technology has made this more possible than ever.

But our family stories are more than a list of DNA results on a piece of paper or a bunch of fading Kodachrome images filling old photo albums.

In an era often marked by both fragmentation in family and culture and a hunger to discover our genetic roots, our family stories--including the difficult, complex ones--can carry great spiritual strength.

The desire to trace, interpret, and pass on our family's history is embedded in Scripture from beginning to end--there are nine genealogies found in the book of Genesis alone.

When we bring together the various threads of our family stories with Scripture's insights, they can provide the key to decoding our identity and helping us discover our place in family, church, and world.

In Translating Your Past, author Michelle Van Loon helps readers uncover how patterns and gaps in family histories, generational trauma, adoption, genetic clues and surprises, spiritual history, and the church help us translate our own pasts and understand why these stories matter.

Each chapter includes questions designed for individual reflection or small group discussion, as well as an appendix of helpful tools readers can use to translate their own pasts and create meaning in order to transform their unique family history into living, faith-filled heritage.
