Product Description
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 tree Driven Faith equips Christian parents with the tools they need to raise children biblically in a post-Christian, anti-family tree society. 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 agreed us timeless precepts and principles for multi-generational faithfulness, especially in Deuteronomy 6. God’s simple mandate to Moses to teach the Word conscientiously to the children of Israel serves as the foundation of Family tree Driven Faith.

Luckily I didn’t buy this book, I establish it discarded in the trash area in the waiting room of my children’s gymnastics studio. I thought it looked appealing so I read through it. I’m glad I didn’t spend any money on it. This is just a rehash of the Vision Forum Cult’s mandate of modern Christian family tree life. Homeschooling=Excellent! Youth Groups=Terrible! Beating kids=excellent! Evolution=Terrible! I reflect his basic premise, that parents need to seriously undertake their children’s spiritual education and growth and not abdicate them to additional people is right to some degree, but his book just meanders and goes down the path that all these VF cult members drone on and on about ad nauseum in their internet blogs. (How can they homeschool all the time while writing all these blogs?) Don’t buy this book, save your money and take your kids out for ice cream. My understanding is that Dr. Baucham’s children have not graduated college yet and are, in fact, honestly young, so I have a hard time long-suffering him as an “practiced” in the meadow of parenting. Further, he bills himself as an evangelical for intellectuals, but he left Rice University to transfer to HBU? That wasn’t a go up. Maybe he seems intellectual to a name who graduated from Patrick Henry College, or to the Duggars, but I reflect that particular aver is inflated. By the way, homeschooling is no guarantee that your kids won’t turn 18 and go crazy. You can’t keep them in the compound forever, can you? Unless you are in the FLDS compound that is. The only “magic forumula” (tongue in cheek) is prayer for your children, not a rehash of the Vision Forum Cult indoctrination manuals.

Family tree Driven Faith does a excellent job at describing and justifying a parents needs to disciple their children. I would not recommend this book to anyone in my church because I reflect it needs too much discernment. The last two chapters are that of application which takes its main point too far. It has confused the place of the church vs family tree. I am not for age segregated ministry, but I am also not for making an idol out of the family tree. The principles in this book are not universal, but cater to persons people with children. This being the case, one must respect the fact that the church is made up of a huge demographic than couples with kids.
Secondly, this book presupposes that parents are mentally mature to undertake the extreme position that this book invites. Most parents, themselves need discipleship. I do not deny that the home is the primary discipling unit, but this is not to the disregard of the God ordained office of the elder.

This book is certainly worth reading, and Baucham has some really excellent thoughts on the importance of discipling your children, doing family tree devos, etc. The first part of the book provided a challenge in this area that was straight from scripture, and as the parent of three young children, I needed to hear.
But, especially in the second part of the book Baucham goes further than I’m comfortable with in his criticisms of churches who have youth ministries and Christians who have normal work schedules and/or send their kids to school. As a pastor, I can’t agree with his view of the church. It is very excellent to promote the family tree and most churches probably need to do it more – but if a church is only promoting family tree there are a lot of additional vital things they are not promoting.
I hope you will read this book, and have the discernment to be challenged where you need to be and discerning where you must be.

Well I like Voddie’s preaching and he certainly knows how to write a excellent book too. This book clarifies that the Church starts in the home and that a family tree as a whole needs to support each additional in their worship of Christ first and foremost. This then drastically changes the way the local church deals with different generations in their congregation as their ministry becomes about strengthening people’s relationship with Christ as a whole made up of families.
I was left wondering agreed Voddie’s push toward home schooling and not participating in sports (if they teach that sport is more vital than God) how this doesn’t end up forming a tribe where the children are sequestered into a place that can’t interface with the rest of the world? But I do see his point that the school system has a lot of problems with it, that amongst others repeatedly teach either directly or by osmosis things contrary to Christian faith.
It’s certainly timely and engagingly written.

I like this book. It’s written in an simple to read, regularly humorous and entertaining style that keeps the whole family tree engaged. My spouse and I read this together as a devotional to help us remember what’s vital in our lives and how we want to raise our children in a loving, Godly home where Christ is the center, and we as parents are to set a excellent example, train, teach, and like our children. I highly reccomend this book to any families, especially persons with older children as it really digs in to the concept of family tree discussions, worship and accountability that is so key to raising children and young adults to like the Lord and walk in His ways with a Christian worldview.
