Mainstream culture today assumes it is normal to pass off the raising of our children to school teachers, coaches, youth pastors, and after-school programs.
In this book, Voddie Baucham, a father of 4 children himself, provides a great read for dads who want to instill their values and Biblical faith into their children and see it "stick" when they become adults. The message in this book will convict you, stir your heart, and encourage you to do whatever it takes to proactively lead your family.
"We read this book in our men's group. I wish I had this book when I was raising kids. The author does a great job of encouraging parents to be intentional in training their children in righteousness in a Godly home. He focuses on resisting the culture and doing what right for the children from a biblical perspective."

Customer Reviews
family-driven faith 
this book has changed the way i look at parenting, discipleship,
family worship, just about everything! i have a great respect for
voddie and have listened to many of his teaching series. he is an
excellent communicator. this book is by far the BEST parenting book i
have ever read.
Good Book 
This is a book that you will want to pass around. I gave it to my
daughter and her husband and they in turned have someone else that is
interested in reading it after them. Some chapters are rather boring to
keep reading but if you stick with it there are great truths to be
found. If applied in your family, they WILL make a positive difference
in your lives. We as a family have been doing most of what is suggested
in the books since we have had children, my oldest being 25 years old.
All 4 children are serving God and being a blessing for those around
them. This book contains Great Truths that are Needed in the Church
Today!
Respond to the critics...
Jeremiah 6:10
To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to me? Their
ears are closed so they cannot hear. The word of the LORD is offensive
to them; they find no pleasure in it.
First things first, if you find this book "offensive" ask yourself
"why" I respectfully disagree with the critics, specifically the one
comparing this to a "cult". That is a strong and hateful statement and
it is the FURTHEST from the truth. I recommend to read the book along
with the scriptures that Dr. Baucham's uses to back it up and let the
Holy Spirit convict you (or not).
I actually met Dr. Baucham's son Trey - what a pleasure to meet
this young man. The fruit is there!! Unless you've met this man and
seen the fruit that he is producing, I strongly suggest you reserve
your harsh judgement of him. Pluck the plank out of your on eye first.
Take the time to read what Dr. Baucham has to say and to
spiritually discern the message that is being given. Let God speak to
you in how this message is applicable to your family and/or what
principles you need to apply. It won't be the same for everyone.
