Home visitation is a long-standing practice in Reformed churches. But why do we go through this exercise year after year? Does it really benefit the life of the congregation or it it merely a custom we follow? Is there enough direction for those who bring such visit and for those who recieve them so that the practice is not robbed of it's meaning? How do we keep it from degenerating into mere routine? These are some of the questions that are addressed by the author of this book.
