About
Family reunions are not simply events to attend-they are intentional acts of preservation.
In Family Reunions: For Such a Time as This, Eastmond Buckner presents a compelling case for why family gatherings matter now more than ever. Drawing from his own family's history-from the plantation era to modern-day conventions-Buckner weaves together biblical principles, generational storytelling, and structured planning strategies to show how reunions can restore unity, transfer values, and create long-term fulfillment.
This book moves beyond sentiment. It offers a practical framework:
• Establishing leadership and structure
• Funding and financial accountability
• Building communication systems
• Preserving spiritual, cultural, and ethical heritage
• Creating meaningful, age-inclusive programming
• Developing long-term sustainability
At its core, this is a call to action. In a culture marked by fragmentation and digital distance, Buckner argues that intentional, organized family reunions serve as anchors-spaces where legacy is reinforced and the next generation is strengthened.
Whether your family gathering includes twenty people or two hundred, the principles remain the same: unity, continuity, and fulfillment must be cultivated deliberately.
This is more than a planning guide. It is a declaration that family still matters.
