The Family Bible is Henderson's first collection of poetry and a rare statement of this pilgrim's journey.  His 67 poems are both personal and universal.  They are funny, bitter, eloquent, tortured, touching, wise, blasphemous, and reverent.  From Genesis to Revelation, this is the Bible that we all recognize and debate and love.

In this essential guide, Robert Henderson helps readers understand the power of the gift of tongues to let the Spirit pray through them and establish a renewed relationship with God, transcending the natural realm. Let go of powerless Christianity and ready yourself for the supernatural, in which the Bible declares that every believer can operate.

In The Family Bible, I describe my love for my quiet but dogmatic Christian father and my loving mother. At the center of this book is the Family Bible that presented me as a young child with so many contradictions of kindness and violence, and an angry and a seeming amoral God. My youth was spent trying to sort out the various messages from the Bible and my family. This quiet book is a record of that often agonizing attempt.
