Publisher Description
The most important disciple a parent will make is within their own home, and yet this is the most difficult disciple to make. Family Discipleship by Matt Chandler and Adam Griffin helps readers develop a sustainable rhythm of gospel-centered discipleship through a guided framework focusing on moments of discipleship in 3 key areas: time (intentional time gathering your family around gospel activities or conversations), moments (leveraging opportunities throughout the day), and milestones (celebrating significant life events). Each section provides parents with Scriptures to consider, questions to answer, structures to implement, and ideas to try out as they seek to see Christ formed in their children. Here is a book that begins with the end in mind, offering ideas and examples of what gospel-centered family discipleship looks like, helping parents design their own discipleship plan as they seek to raise children in the love and fear of the Lord.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this accessible work, Pastors Chandler (Steps Leader Kit) and Griffin lay out a plan for Christian parents to foster vibrant faith in their children. The authors describe their book as a guide for implementing intentional spiritual leadership in the home rather than a traditional parenting how-to and open by explaining, "Your child's faith does not rise or fall based on how well you follow the precepts of this book, nor does it depend on your proficiency as a parent." The authors caution readers not to compare themselves to other families, suggest Christ's grace is the key component to developing a life of faith, and emphasize that leadership is modeled by daily interactions and ordinary routines that focus on three aspects of life: time (habitual scriptural learning), moments ("taking advantage of opportunities to communicate God's truth"), and milestones (working toward goals). Included are tips for bringing "rhythm and intentionality" into daily routines, such as during meals, commutes, and children's bedtime routines. Scripture, questions for reflection, and charts for weekly and monthly family plans, appear throughout. Showing that "it is never too soon and it is never too late to start discipling your household," this useful guide will provide Christian parents activities and motivation for creating a Christ-centered home environment.
Customer Reviews
So far, the best resource on family discipleship
This book is fantastic. I’m on my third read of it currently, and each time I find myself highlighting something new. Page after page, this book is full of practical, helpful ways to lead your family to Christ. There is no pressure or condemnation, but rather scripturally sound reasons as to why this should be on the forefront of our daily thoughts and actions. If I could buy this book for every Christian parent in America I would.
