Description Concering Books Family Driven Faith: Doing What It Takes to Raise Sons and Daughters Who Walk With God
I was disappointed by this book. I admit out front that there are several valid criticisms of the Western Church that I agree with, in fact, I agree with much of Baucham's assessment of the state of families and their need for family worship/bible reading. However, the book comes off mostly as an exercise in glorifying Voddie Baucham, which was very off-putting, and made it hard to read. Every major example of what's right is an example of how Baucham did it right. The whole thing is very self aggrandizing. In addition, he is very inconsistent in his perspectives. On the one hand he declares that Scripture should be the guide, but then in many sections he veers off into his experience. I think he belabored the point about ensuring that your home displays, with all five senses, something about Christ. Putting up pictures and Scriptures is easy, reading Scripture is easy, but his attempt to mandate some kind of Sunday dinner as part of our presentation of Christ just became silly. In addition, most of his quotes come from Reformed authors past and present, all of whom, I am sure, would heartily object to the self-promoting tone of this book. To be sure, there was Scripture used in this book, but not in a way that promoted it to the forefront. It was used in such a way to support his main point and then he moved into his experience and choices, which are really where he proved his ideas; little more than proof-texting. To reiterate, I agree with his assessment that the family needs to take up the reins of worship and make Christ the center of their home, and I think Baucham has some good ideas, but the book smacks of modern Western Church self-interest, which makes it hard to read all the way through.Declare Books Toward Family Driven Faith: Doing What It Takes to Raise Sons and Daughters Who Walk With God

What an excellent book! We learn throughout the book about what God's version of family planning is, and how unlike the world's view it is. While most people don't want to marry young, God encourages it. While most people discourage having children and make personal success a priority, God doesn't. Mr. Baucham is so warm and wonderful on how he presents God's case. He also brings up the church and how they approach such matters. As a youth leader, I really learned a lot and realized how truthfulThis is the most challenging parenting book I have ever read. Baucham brings us back to the biblical calling of fathers and mothers and calls us to a commitment that stands in stark contrast to the cultural expectations both outside and inside today's American Church. As I am exiting the "infant fog" for what I believe to be the last time, this has been an incredibly timely read for me as I seek to re-establish healthy habits and rhythms in my own life and in my family's. You are bound to
This review was posted on my blog at: by-his-grace.blogspot.comI recently finished reading "Family Driven Faith" by Voddie Baucham Jr.. There is much in this book to be praised and commended. What parent doesn't need all the encouragement they can get to live out the gospel and to teach it to their children on a daily basis? Sometimes we need to be shaken up a bit and rise up out of our comfort and complacency to fulfill our God-given responsibilities. I appreciate his exposure of the wrong
This book is a call to action. Voddie cites many different and compelling statistics aimed at opening the eyes of American parents and church leaders. The path we walk in our homes and churches now often excludes a biblical approach to discipleship. Voddie simply calls us back to using the Word as we structure these environments in our lives.I came away from this book captured by its honest assessment and compelled to change the direction I take in leading my family. Since reading this book I

good book, although i wish i knew a bunch of others who had read it so that i could talk it over with them. the author is a bit (ok, maybe a lot) extreme in some of his positions. he's definitely too fundamentalist for me, in that he says things are black and white that i think we have freedom in. for example, type of schooling for our kids. while there are great parts to the book, parts i want to really think about and implement in our family, i think it's a book that needs to be read with
