More teens are turning away from the faith than ever before: it is estimated that 75 to 88% of Christian teens walk away from Christianity by the end of their freshman year of college. Something must be done.
Family Driven Faith equips Christian parents with the tools they need to raise children biblically in a post-Christian, anti-family society. Author Voddie Baucham, who with his wife has overcome a multi-generational legacy of broken and dysfunctional homes, shows that God has not left us alone in raising godly children. He has given us timeless precepts and principles for multi-generational faithfulness, especially in Deuteronomy 6. God’s simple command to Moses to teach the Word diligently to the children of Israel serves as the foundation of Family Driven Faith.
Professional review
“As a father and husband striving to raise my children in a manner that honors God, I am grateful for godly advice. Voddie Baucham presents solid biblical principles embedded in engaging stories of his family and his desire to bring honor to Christ through his parenting. Our culture is immersed in providing entertainment and education for young people when raising our children according to biblical principles should be our first focus. This responsibility falls primarily on the father, but has been turned over to the church—or worse, the television—in recent times. It is time that we stop letting the culture drive our families and become intentional about parenting in a God-honoring way. This book provides the foundation for doing just that. If I had the power, I would make this book required reading for every man on the planet. It is time to step up to the plate!”
— Roger Patterson, educational resources content developer for Answers in Genesis–U.S.
