Family Driven Faith: Doing What It Takes to Raise Sons and Daughters Who Walk with God

Product Overview

This bold book is an urgent call to parents--and the church--to return to biblical discipleship in and through the home.

If you are looking for typical, pop-psychological answers to the pressing questions of our day, this is not the book for you. The stakes are too high to rely on man’s failed systems. We must get back to the basics and trust the Lord to turn the tide as we follow his clear instructions. Family Driven Faith is a must read for parents, grandparents, pastors and anyone with a passion to stop the mass exodus of the children of evangelicals.

Comments about this book

• “Voddie Baucham understands the present culture in a way that is missed by most. Accordingly, he has written Family Driven Faith as an advocacy volume for the family. Baucham knows only too well that the seeds of destruction of any social order, including the church of the living God, are sown when the family is decimated. My prayer to God is that every believing Christian will read this book.”  - Dr. Paige Patterson, President, Southwestern Seminary, Fort Worth, TX
• “Sending young people out into the world without a biblical worldview is like sending an athlete onto the field without a playbook, says Voddie Baucham. Yet few Christian parents even hold a biblical worldview to pass along to their children. Family Driven Faith gives parents winning principles to disciple children who will grow into spiritually mature adults capable of influencing all spheres of society.” - Nancy Pearcey, Francis Schaffer Scholar, World Journalism Institute, Author of Total Truth

Loving Truth Books & Gifts Review

Dr. Baucham's book is bound to stir controversy, but it is well worth the read and highly recommended, especially if you have seen the statistics from the Barna Group in regard to the fact that 85% of "born-again teens" do not believe in the existence of absolute truth. He refers to other studies that indicate that between 70-88 % of Christian teens are leaving the church by their 2nd year in college. On page 11, Dr. Baucham points out that this translates to the sad correlation that "modern American Christianity has a failure rate somewhere around eight (almost nine) out of ten when it comes to raising children who continue in the faith."

Dr. Baucham states at the bottom of page 12: "My goal here is not to get parents to doubt their children's salvation. I am simply trying to sound a desperately needed alarm."

Throughout the book, Dr. Baucham sprinkles personal stories, reflections and anecdotes where you also get insight into his sense of humor and personal style. The material presented is challenging to be sure. He presents materials that go against the grain of current thinking, against the underlying presuppositions of the current age-segregated model in our modern education system and in our churches. Nowhere does Dr. Baucham condemn anyone for their approaches and points out the statistical findings to back up his claims; he simply challenges their assumptions. He also points out the very real pressures that families who desire to worship and study together face in our programmatic modern churches. On page 170, Dr. Baucham warns the reader that "The pursuit of family driven faith can be costly."

In the final chapter, Dr. Baucham discusses what it means to be "family-integrated" and shows how families who desire to integrate their faith into all areas of their lives (home, education, church etc.), then they must choose a radical worldview.

Each chapter ends with a brief set of "Take Action" steps that guide the reader with ideas about how to implement his suggestions in one's own family.
