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

 a book for beginners
I thought this was a good book but is geared for the family that hasn't been involved in regular family worship and hasn't thought much about homeschooling their children. If you find yourself in one of those two categories and are looking to get serious about raising your kids then you might enjoy having this book. But if you are looking for new ideas for your family worship and are wanting to go deeper this book is not for you.

 Good Book ( stahl6 )
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... ( smileynme )
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.
Scripture says:
2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
Make sure you're not letting your "itching ears" be your guide, rather let God convict you in areas that you need to be convicted in. This book IS a wake up call. RISE UP and take the challenge!

A Wake-Up Call
Attention Christian father: You are deceiving yourself if you think you are doing your best by faithfully dropping your kids off to youth group every week. You won't know how far off the mark you are until you read this thoughtful, passionate and biblically-supported work. This book will tell you why we are losing 8 out of 10 of our "church kids" by the time they finish their sophomore year of college. But thankfully, Pastor Baucham shows us how to reverse this alarming trend. This book, along with his podcast message, "The Centrality of the Home", will jolt you into action. Don't wait; your children's eternity is at stake.
