Do you want to maximize your effectiveness as a parent and experience God's best for your family? Marc and Cynthia Carrier will help you do just that with The Values-Driven Family. Like no other parenting book on the market, this all-encompassing volume brings spiritual training where it belongs--in the home--without neglecting the practical matters of everyday living such as time management, budgets, decision-making, work, and relationship-building. The Values-Driven Family is a new twist on the practical application of Scripture to the family unit that's simple enough for any parent to apply, yet offers depth that will challenge even the most experienced parents to reach for God's best. Using the twelve core values--the values that God values--as the biblical foundation, you'll be powerfully equipped to train, encourage, and discipline your children in a way that reaches the heart rather than simply addressing outward behaviors. The Values-Driven Family challenges you to reflect on why you do what you do, so that you can proactively pass along a heritage of living faith to your children and experience an increasing measure of peace and joy in the home on a day-to-day basis. Join the Carriers in this Values-Driven Family journey today!

Excellent Book on Christian Family Management,

This review is from: The Values-Driven Family: A Proactive Plan for Successful Biblical Parenting (Paperback)
The Values Driven Family is to the home what the Purpose Driven Life is to the church. This is an excellent book for laying (or firming up) a Christian foundation for families. It covers vision, training, love, and discipline, as well as practical matters of family life such as budgeting and scheduling. If you are looking for an excellent overview of the Christian home, look no further--this is it.
I especially liked the section that covers twelve critical character areas. I think this is a great resource for parents who are trying to define what strengths their kids need to develop as well what they need to reinforce in their own lives. The Carriers do a fantastic job laying a biblical foundation, using an amazing arsenal of Scripture. As a result, one of the things I like the most about it is that it's balanced in all areas. It carries a very strong biblical emphasis without taking extreme positions based on Christian cultural or personal preferences. It's the type of book you can feel excited about giving to a friend without adding disclaimers about the parts that are off-base or offensive.
