Yet Another Book Review

I am about three-fourths of the way through Family Driven Faith, by Voddie Baucham, and Kevin and I have started reading it together. We are thoroughly enjoying this book. Much of what Pastor Baucham has to say will be considered radical to some, but I have had to stifle some 'Amens' at times! Here's what he says:

The other day I looked at my teenage daughter while we were walking through the mall. Suddenly I found myself choked up as I thought how much time was behind us compared to the amount of time ahead. I just cried out to God and prayed, Lord, help me make the most of the time.

There are many worthwhile pursuits in this world, but few of them rise to the level of training our children to follow the Lord and keep His commandments. I desperately want my sons and daughters to walk with God, and I am willing to do whatever it takes, whatever the Bible says I must do in order to be used by God as a means to that end.

I think he really gets it right when he says that we, as Christian parents, have to take back the responsibility of training our kids in righteousness and making our home the center of their lives. Pastor Baucham gets very practical and specific about how this is implemented. This is a very readable book, and the author's writing style is funny and concise. I would definitely encourage all you moms and dads to get your hands on a copy. Let me know whatcha think.
